(1) Minimum Width. The minimum width of the main portion of the structure should be 14 feet (single-wide), exclusive of any garage or carport area, as measured across the narrowest portion.

(2) Grading. Unless the topography of a particular lot precludes it, the manufactured home should be installed no higher from grade than 18 inches (from ground to frame) on the highest side; and not less than 12 inches on the lowest side. The Building Official is authorized to approve minor deviations from the height requirement after inspection of the property to determine such deviation is necessary because of lot conformity.

(3) Foundations. The manufactured home should be pit set or ground set and placed on an excavated foundation with permanent stem wall so that the home appears to have a foundation wall similar in appearance and kind to conventional site-built homes. Such installation shall render the dwelling no more portable than if it were constructed totally on site.

(4) Exterior Building Materials. The exterior building façade including the trim, doors, windows, roof fascias, and the like, shall consist of wood, stucco, horizontal siding, brick, masonry veneer, or other facsimile of a building material commonly used in site-built residential construction; provided, however, that metal siding, other than aluminum lap siding, shall be prohibited. Patio covers and detached storage buildings shall be exempt from this requirement.

(5) Roof Structure and Materials. All roof structures shall be sloped and provide an eave projection of no less than six inches and no greater than 24 inches. Unfinished galvanized steel, unfinished aluminum, wood shake shingles, or fiberglass/asphalt shingles less than 325 pounds per 100 square feet shall not be permitted.

(6) Mechanical Equipment. All manufactured home running gear, tongues, axles, and wheels must be removed at the time of installation. Mechanical equipment such as electrical meter, coolers and air conditioning units, service components, and similar devices, whether ground level or wall mounted, shall be designed to appear as an integral part of the building.

(7) Garages or Carports. The manufactured home shall have at a minimum a single car garage or carport the design and materials of which shall be compatible with the main structure.

(8) Accessory Structures. Uncovered porches, decks, or verandas are permitted on the side and rear of the home provided they meet the setback requirements of this title.

(10) Anchor ties. The structure shall be anchored to the ground, in accordance with approved manufactured home installation standards for high wind areas.

(11) Additions. All additions and alterations shall be in compliance with the current building code as adopted by the City or in compliance with the most current HUD code standards and the housing manufacture’s specifications, whichever is more restrictive.

(12) All buildings and/or structures in conjunction with a permitted or conditional use, other than the single-dwelling manufactured home, shall be of conventional (site-built) construction. (Ord. 312 § 2(10.2), passed 4-11-2012. Code 2012 § 152.152.)
