SUBJECT: MOBILE HOME SITE <br />Robert M. Keafing,� CP PLAN REQUIREMENTS <br />Planning & Developa%nt Director <br />FROM: Michael K. Miller tqj M REFERENCES: M/H S/P <br />Chief, Current Development MIKEII <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their <br />regular meeting of November 18, 1986. <br />INTRODUCTION: <br />The Board of County Commissioners at the October 28, 1986 <br />regularly scheduled meeting directed the staff to review current <br />requirements -concerning mobile home site plan review. The primary <br />issue was whether or not minor site plan review for the location <br />of single mobile homes was necessary or just a needless dupli- <br />cation of tie -down permit r-eviews.--- <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: <br />Minor site plan review is presently required whenever a mobile <br />home is located on any mobile home lot or tract. Prior to <br />adoption of the RMH-6 and RMH-8 mobile home districts in 1985, <br />mobile home projects were not developed into platted lots but into <br />a series of mobile home spaces. The resulting spaces were small <br />and. a distance between mobile homes, rather than traditional <br />setbacks from lot lines was required..- The separation requirement <br />between individual mobile homes required that a systematic <br />monitoring process be established to ensure that mobile homes were <br />located properly within the mobile home park and this monitoring <br />was established through the application of minor site plan review <br />criteria. <br />Since the adoption of RMH-6 and RMH-8 zoning districts, all new <br />mobile home developments must be platted into individual lots and <br />receive major site plan approval for the entire project. The <br />• platting of the mobile home development into individual lots, the <br />application of traditional minimum setbacks from property lines, <br />and the requirement that the development receive site plan <br />approval eliminates the need for minor site plan approval. <br />The Building Department reviews the placement of the mobile home <br />on individual lots through tie -down permit review. Since the tie - <br />down permit review process includes review of setback requirements <br />in the same way that building permit review examines setbacks for <br />single family homes, any further review through the application of <br />site plan procedures is not necessary. <br />A table is attached that summarizes current regulations concerning <br />mobile home development. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the RMH-8 and <br />RMH-6 districts be amended to eliminate the minor site plan <br />approval requirement for the siting of individual mobile homes. <br />26 <br />
