The intent of this district is to provide for manufactured home park developments together with such public and semi-public buildings and facilities and accessory structures as may be necessary and are compatible with residential development of this nature. The district is specifically designed to accommodate manufactured homes on rented parcels at acceptable densities; to accommodate the housing needs of those residents who prefer manufactured home living and of those who desire an economic alternative to conventional dwellings; to encourage such future development to occur on vacant land where the natural characteristics of such land are suitable for this type of development; to avoid undue traffic congestion on minor streets by directing such developments to abut upon or have relative close access to major transportation arteries; to provide policies which will encourage such residential development to occur where public facilities and services are existing or within plans for improvement; to protect manufactured home parks from encroachment by incompatible uses; and to ensure that manufactured homes are located on lots that are adequate distance from one another to prevent hazardous conditions caused by humans or nature.
