The location of mobile home and manufactured
housing parks shall require a special use permit issued by the governing
body in appropriate districts where permitted. This article is intended
to set forth the design criteria for planned communities of mobile
homes and manufactured housing.
No structures, streets or parking areas shall
be placed within 50 feet of the perimeter boundary of the mobile home
or manufactured housing park.
All mobile homes and manufactured housing shall
be mounted and anchored in accordance with the current edition of
the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code.
At least two off-street parking spaces shall
be provided for each mobile home or manufactured house. Mobile homes
and manufactured housing parks may employ common parking lots to provide
off-street parking.
The Virginia Department of Health must certify
that each lot or plot shall be provided with an approved source of
water supply and an approved means of sewage disposal before the mobile
home or manufactured housing park shall be approved. Water and sewer
service shall be provided through a public or community system. All
community systems shall be dedicated to a public authority established
according to § 21-112.22 et seq. of the Code of Virginia.
Mobile home parks existing as of 1996 shall be grandfathered; provided, however, that any expansion or addition to an existing mobile home park shall meet the standards set forth in this article
IX.
