It is the purpose of the R-MH zone to provide for planned mobile home residential developments, including related recreational, commercial and other service facilities. It is further the purpose to provide sites for such developments at appropriate locations within the regional district in relation to the existing and potential development of the surrounding areas and in relation to other uses and community facilities, in such a manner as to afford a proper setting for such developments and in compliance with the requirements of the general plan.
It is the intent of the R-MH zone to provide the maximum amount of freedom possible in the design of mobile home developments and the grouping and layout of mobile homes within such developments; to provide in such developments the amenities normally associated with planned residential areas; to encourage the development of comprehensive pedestrian circulation networks, separated from vehicular roadways, linking residential, commercial and recreational facilities; to permit the greatest possible amount of freedom in types of ownership of mobile homes and home developments; to encourage site and development plans which will maximize compatibility between mobile home developments and development on adjoining land; and to promote the health, safety, morals and welfare of the present and future inhabitants of the regional district and the county as a whole.
In order to assist in achieving the flexibility of design needed for the implementation of these purposes, a development plan is required to be submitted as a part of an application for the R-MH zone and a detailed site plan to be submitted by a developer prior to the issuance of any building or grading permit, subject to approval by the planning board as complying with all of the specific and general requirements hereof.
