ARTICLE III. ZONING, Division 5. Supplementary District Regulations, Subdivision I. General Provisions, Section 20-750. Manufactured Housing. Article III. Zoning, Division 5. Supplementary District Regulations, Subdivision I. General Provisions, Section 20-750. Manufactured Housing, is hereby added: Section 20-750. Manufactured Housing. (a) Definitions. (1) Foundation. The site built supporting parts upon which the manufactured home is placed, whether constructed to encompass the perimeter of the home or in the form of piers and including all exterior materials required to physically screen, veneer or shield. (2) Manufactured Home. A dwelling unit fabricated in an off-site manufacturing facility for installation or assembly at the building site, bearing a label certifying that it is built in compliance with the Federal Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards (24 CFR 3280) HUD Code. The term one-family dwelling shall include manufactured homes when placed on permanent foundations designed for and occupied exclusively by one family. Manufactured homes include two (2) distinguishable types described as follows: a. Residential design manufactured homes, hereinafter referred to as RDMH, are manufactured homes meeting Residential Design Standards contained herein manufactured on or after July 13, 1994. b. Standard design manufactured homes, hereinafter referred to as SDMH, are manufactured homes meeting the HUD Code and which have been manufactured on or after June 15, 1976, but not meeting Residential Design Standards contained herein. (3) Mobile Home. A structure fabricated prior to June 15, 1976 and transportable in one or more sections, which is eight feet (8') or more in width and which is built on an integral chassis and desiqned to be used as a one-family dwelling when connected to the required utilities and includes plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, and electrical systems contained therein. (b) Residential Design Manufactured Homes. (1) Intent. It is the intent of this regulation to encourage the provision of affordable housing in a general residential environment by permitting the use of residential design manufactured housing, RDMH as defined herein, in residential districts in which similar dwellings constructed on site are permitted, subject to the requirements and procedures set forth herein to assure similarity in exterior appearance between such residential design manufactured housing and other one-family dwellings which have been constructed under these and other applicable regulations on contiguous or other lots in the same zoning district. Manufactured homes approved as RDMH, either individually or by specific model, shall be permitted in R-1, R-1A, R-2, R-2A or R-NC zoning districts in which similar residential occupancy is permitted as defined below, subject to all minimum district standards and other requirements applying generally to such residential use in such zoning districts, including but not limited to, minimum lot area and width, minimum yards, percentage of lot coverage, off-street parking requirements and approved foundations as described herein. (2) Compatibility. The following standards shall be used in making a determination of the similarity of RDMH homes, with permanent foundations, as provided in this paragraph, and site built homes: a. Minimum width of main body. Minimum width of the main body of the RDMH as located on the site shall not be less than twenty feet, as measured across the narrowest portion. This is not intended to prohibit the offsetting of portions of the home. b. Minimum roof pitch, minimum roof overhang, roofing materials. Minimum pitch of the main roof shall not be less than four inches (4") of rise for every foot of horizontal run. Minimum roof overhang shall be one foot. In cases where site built housing generally has been constructed in adjacent or nearby locations with roof pitches less than 1:4 then the RDMH may have less roof pitch Similar to the site built houses. Any roofing material used for site built housing may be used for an RDMH. Exterior finish; liqht reflection. Any material may be used for exterior finish which is generally acceptable for site built housing provided, however, that reflection for such exterior shall not be qreater than from siding coated with clean white gloss exterior enamel paint. Transportation equipment. All transportation equipment must be removed from each RDMH upon delivery to the site for installation and the RDMH shall be placed upon a permanent foundation and anchored within 48 hours of delivery to the site. Approved foundations required in residential districts. No RDMH shall be placed or occupied for residential use on a site in a residential district until such foundation plans have been submitted and approved by the Building Official as to the appearance and durability of the proposed foundation and being acceptable as similar or comparable in appearance to foundations of residences built on adjacent or nearby sites. All homes shall be placed on permanent foundations, which for the purposes of this section shall be: 1. Installation of the manufactured home according to Chapter 15C-l, Florida Administrative Code, by a manufactured home installer licensed by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles; and 2. Construction of a permanent, perimeter wall, meeting wind load requirements of one hundred (100) miles per hour, extending at a minimum from the ground surface to the bottom starter of the exterior wall surfaces of the home as certified by a professional civil or structural engineer, who can demonstrate knowledge or background of structural engineering applications, and who is registered in the State of Florida. 3. The Building Official may predetermine and establish general approval for specific types, varieties or designs of foundations and veneer or screening materials to be used in connection with future installations of an RDMH. 4. Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any RDMH, a certification must be submitted to the Building Official
