16.34.020   Anchoring requirements.
   Anchoring for manufactured housing will be in conformance with state standards as established by the Office of Manufactured Housing under A.R.S. Title 41, Chapter 16, Article 2. All manufactured homes and additions to manufactured homes located within a regulatory floodplain or SFHA shall be anchored to resist flotation, collapse, or lateral movement by one of the following methods:
   A.   Floatation. Elevate bottom of structural frame, and lowest point of all service equipment, above RFE and therefore remove all hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads from the MH.
   B.   Collapse. Proportion the foundation footer area to resist vertical dead and live loads of MH based on allowable soil bearing pressure, as required by Office of Manufactured Housing under A.R.S. Title 41, Chapter 16, Article 2; extend foundation footers to maximum anticipated scour depth below grade; design all foundation elements to resist lateral hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads on the foundation.
   C.   Lateral Movement. Design soil anchors or individual foundation members to transfer lateral wind loads on MH to the soil, as required by Office of Manufactured Housing under A.R.S. Title 41, Chapter 16, Article 2. Lateral wind loads are to be assumed to come from any direction.
