§ 153.155 MANUFACTURED HOME, TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE.
   The temporary use of a manufactured home as housing for a family member who is elderly, infirm, otherwise in need of assistance, or is to be the caregiver for a family member in need of such assistance may be permitted by special exception provided the Board of Zoning Appeals finds that the following conditions are met.
   (A)   The manufactured home meets the requirements of §§ 150.25 through 150.99 of the Code of Laws of Newberry County.
   (B)   Such temporary residence shall be either on the same lot of record or on an adjacent lot of record as the permanent residence in which either the caregiver or infirm relative lives.
   (C)   If such temporary residence is to be located on the same lot of record, the building lot shall be of sufficient size to permit the location of the manufactured home so that all minimum setback requirements are met without encroaching on the setback requirements of the permanent residence.
   (D)   The manufactured home shall be occupied by a family member who is infirm, elderly, otherwise in need of assistance, or is to be the caregiver for such family member in need of assistance.
   (E)   The Board of Zoning Appeals may grant conditional renewal of the permit for the manufactured home every 2 years if the applicant provides proof of hardship to the permitted occupant of the manufactured home or the individual being cared for, based on medical conditions that are supported by a signed physician's statement, setting forth the physician's opinion of the medical necessity for the issuance of the permit.
   (F)   The temporary permit is issued for the use of the manufactured home by a particular individual and is not transferable. If continued use of the manufactured home for or by another family member or caregiver is requested, a new application must be filed in a timely manner and a new permit granted.
   (G)   The applicant shall remove the manufactured home from the property or shall undertake appropriate measures to make the manufactured home an allowed use through subdivision or other means provided by county and state regulations:
      (1)   Within 30 days after the manufactured home is vacated by the individual in need of assistance or the caregiver of such person;
      (2)   Within 30 days of the expiration of the temporary permit or any extension thereof granted per the requirements of division (E); or
      (3)   Within 30 days of the expiration of a new permit issued for the manufactured home for another family member or caregiver per the requirements of division (F).
   (H)   Additional conditions may be imposed to ensure that the use will not constitute a safety, health, or traffic hazard.
