§ 255-1120. Permitted uses and development standards.

- (2) Accessory uses. Uses directly accessory to a mobile home including parking areas, carport, patios and semi-enclosed outdoor living areas not intended for overnight occupancy. Service buildings as required in Code § 255-1150, recreation areas and facilities for the exclusive use of occupants of the mobile home park and as further provided in this section; offices intended for management and/or service to the mobile home park; and central laundry facilities designed for residents.

- (3) Garages shall not be allowed. The addition to or expansion of a mobile home so as to make it a permanent structure shall not be allowed.

- (1) Lot coverage. Maximum lot coverage by a mobile home in an individual mobile home lot shall not exceed 20% of the gross area of the lot.

- (2) Width and depth. For portions of the tract used for general vehicular entrances and exits only, the lot width shall be a minimum of 50 feet; for portions containing mobile home lots and buildings open generally to occupants, the width of the lot shall be a minimum of 250 feet. The ratio of width to depth shall not exceed one to five.

- (3) Landscaping and buffering. Along all exterior property lines of a mobile home park, a landscaped buffer strip shall be maintained. Such buffer strip shall be no less than 100 feet wide along all property lines. Such buffer strip shall be planted, screened, or otherwise maintained in a natural condition in order to provide year-round visual obstruction of the mobile home lots from abutting land and streets. The provisions of Article XVII shall be met for all landscaping in a mobile home park. Such buffer strip may be used for recreation of a non-intensive character; provided, however, that no structure be located thereon.

- (4) Recreation and open space. At least 10% of the gross land area of the mobile home park shall be reserved for recreational and open space uses. Such recreation and open space shall be located outside the required buffer strip. However, this figure is in addition to any other open areas required by yard provisions or other sections of this chapter. Recreation areas shall be so located as to be free of traffic hazards and should, where the topography permits, be centrally located.

- (5) Access. All mobile home parks shall have a minimum lot frontage of 50 feet on a public street.

- (6) All mobile homes shall be a minimum distance of 75 feet from any park boundary line abutting a public street.

C. Lot requirements. Individual mobile home lots in a RMD shall conform to the following requirements:

- (1) Lot size. Each individual mobile home lot shall contain a minimum area of 6,000 square feet. Lot size shall be increased by five square feet for each square foot that the mobile home and accessory buildings exceed the allowable size of 1,200 square feet.

- (3) Required separation between mobile homes. Mobile homes shall be separated from each other and from other buildings and structure by at least 30 feet. Any accessory structure which has a horizontal area exceeding 25 square feet, is attached to a mobile home or located within 10 feet of its window, and has an opaque top or roof that is higher than the nearest window shall, for purposes of all separation requirements, be considered to be part of the mobile home.

- (4) Setbacks. No mobile home shall be located closer than 15 feet to a lot line abutting an internal street, common parking area or other common areas.

D. Streets. All streets shall be constructed in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 11 of the Code. Storm drainage plans must be provided and approved by the Town Engineer and shall result in no net increase of runoff.

- (1) Maximum density requirements for a residential mobile home district shall be two mobile homes per acre. Density shall be computed by dividing the total number of mobile homes by total useable acreage of the development.
