A. From the effective date of this ordinance codified in this title, it shall be unlawful to place a manufactured home, install utility improvements to place a manufactured home, or make substantial improvements to existing manufactured homes within a regulatory floodplain, as described in Chapters 16.08, 16.24 and 16.26 of this title, or within erosion hazard areas, as described in Chapter 16.28 of this title, for more than one hundred eighty consecutive days without first applying for and obtaining a floodplain use permit from the chief engineer, and thereafter complying with each and every written term of the permit, as well as with state regulations for manufactured homes as established by the Office of Manufactured Housing under A. R. S. Title 41, Chapter 16, Article 2.
B. In addition to the provisions of this chapter, manufactured homes, recreational vehicles, and travel trailers shall comply with all applicable provisions in Chapters 16.20, 16.24, 16.26, 16.28, and 16.30 of this title.
C. Exemptions.
1. No such floodplain use permit shall be required for any repairs or alterations to existing manufactured homes for which the value of the materials and labor thereon does not exceed seven thousand five hundred dollars, except for those improvements that obstruct the flow of flood waters. For the purpose of determining the value of any such repairs or alterations, the normal retail value of materials and the reasonable value of labor performed shall be used. Although no floodplain use permit is required, all other provisions of this title shall be observed in the performance of said repairs or alterations. Repairs or alterations shall not be done in a piecemeal fashion for the purpose of avoiding applying for a permit when the total cost of said work is in excess of seven thousand five hundred dollars;
2. Temporary placement of a manufactured home, recreational vehicle or travel trailer without a utility hook up for fewer than one hundred eighty consecutive days; and
3. Recreational vehicles that are on site for fewer than one hundred eighty consecutive days, or those that are fully licensed and ready for highway use. A recreational vehicle is ready for highway use if it is on its wheels or jacking system, is attached to the site only by quick disconnect type utilities and security devices, and has no permanently attached additions.
