The Zoning Ordinance does not allow <br /> mobile homes to be used as accessory structures. Whereas <br /> manufactured buildings such as mobile offices are <br /> constructed differently than mobile homes and are not <br /> intended to be used as residential units, these types of <br /> structures differ from mobile homes and would be <br /> appropriate to use as accessory structures. <br /> This amendment would specifically set up manufactured <br /> buildings to be used for accessory purposes as a Class B <br /> Special Use Permit and provide specific standards that <br /> would apply in Agricultural Residential (AR) , Rural <br /> Residential (R-1) , and Rural Buffer (RB) zones. Utility <br /> buildings are currently allowed as accessory uses in <br /> residential districts and would not be affected by this <br /> amendment. <br /> The proposed amendment was presented for public hearing on <br /> August 24 , 1992 . Concerns raised at the public hearing <br />
