A. Manufactured or mobile homes shall be considered as permanent site or modular housing only when it meets the following federal certification criteria and the City criteria:
1. The manufacturer must certify that the structure is designed for erection or installation on a site-built permanent foundation. A site-built permanent foundation is a system of supports, including piers, either partially or entirely below grade, which is:
a. Capable of transferring all loads imposed upon the structure into soil or bedrock without failure;
b. Placed at an adequate depth below grade to prevent frost damage; and
c. Constructed of concrete or grouted concrete blocks.
2. The manufacturer must certify that the structure is designed as a manufactured home and can be installed on a site-built permanent foundation.
3. The manufacturer must certify that the structure is designed and manufactured to comply with the City's adopted building code, plumbing code, mechanical code, and electrical code, or equivalent.
4. Must meet the type I manufactured home specifications listed in Section 62-2.
5. Must be zoned R-5 (mobile home residential).
B. Such certification shall be proof of the housing unit's status as a modular unit or manufactured home. Without such certification, any manufactured home unit shall be considered a mobile home and treated as such for purposes of regulation.
