Planning and Zoning Commission <br />Minutes <br />November 9, 2021 <br />However, there was a single-wide manufactured home located on the subject property until <br />earlier this year. The adjacent land uses are residential and vacant, and the subject property is <br />surrounded by CR Zoning on all sides except the north, which is zoned LDR. <br /> <br />The purpose of the MH-2 district is to provide for the principal use of land developed in <br />harmony with the underlying zoning district regulations; however, permitting the substitution of <br />a manufactured home as a principal building, provided the specific design and/or installation <br />regulations appearing in section 4-28 are met. <br /> <br />The subject property is located within the boundary of the Central Area Land Use Plan and is <br />planned for Very Low Density Residential (VLDR) uses. The Plan states that areas planned for <br />VLDR uses are intended to remain predominately rural in character while allowing residential uses <br />to occur at very low to low densities. The Plan further recommends that the density for these areas <br />be at one unit per two acres or up to two units per acre provided additional development standards <br />are met. <br /> <br />While the Plan recommends a certain density for VLDR areas, this request is intended to allow <br />the applicant to place a manufactured home on an existing lot where it currently is not permitted. <br />Therefore, this request would not have any effect on the application of the established densities <br />in the Plan for this area. The area is already developed within the range that is recommended by <br />the plan. <br /> <br />The subject property is an existing lot of record with CR zoning. <br /> <br />The proposed request does not allow for any further increases to density. The request is for the <br />MH-2 overlay district to voluntarily be added to the subject property, which would allow a <br />double wide manufactured home to be substituted on the property as the principal building <br />versus a modular home or stick built home. <br /> <br />There are existing manufactured homes within the vicinity of this proposal. Manufactured <br />homes have existed in this area for quite some time (at least since 1995). <br /> <br />A single-wide manufactured home was previously located on the subject property and could <br />have been replaced with a like or larger manufactured home. However, it was removed from the <br />property and the 6-month time frame for it to be replaced has expired. <br /> <br />Pursuant to Chapter 14, Section 14-8, manufactured homes on individual lots of record that do <br />not have the Manufactured Home Overlay may be removed and replaced provided that the <br />replacement manufactured home is equal to, or greater than, the size of the manufactured home <br />being replaced and meets the design and installation standards for individual manufactured <br />homes in Chapter 4. <br /> <br />Pursuant to Chapter 14, Section 14-6, B, if the existing non-conforming use ceases for more than <br />6 months, subsequent use or development of the land must conform to district regulations. <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
