• more square feet,and which is built on a permanent chassis and designed to <br /> be used as a dwelling with or without a permanent foundation when <br /> connected to the required utilities, and includes the plumbing, heating, air <br /> conditioning, and electrical systems contained in it, and which complies with <br /> the manufactured home building code established by M. S. §327.31, Subd. 3. <br /> See M. S. § 327.31, Subdivisions 3 and 6. <br /> • Manufactured or "mobile" homes built before July 1, 1972, that is before <br /> there was a manufactured home building code, most likely do not comply <br /> with the code. Thus these older mobile homes are not included in the <br /> provisions of the zoning laws or manufactured home laws which prohibit the <br /> zoning out of manufactured homes. They may be restricted or prohibited <br /> within the city. Existing non-compliant mobile homes remain as non- <br /> conforming uses. <br /> • Other manufactured or "mobile" homes which do not meet the above <br /> requirements,including the size requirements, are not included in the <br /> definition of"manufactured homes" and thus are not included in the <br /> provisions of the zoning laws or manufactured home laws which prohibit the <br /> zoning out of manufactured homes.Existing homes which do not comply <br /> with the manufactured home building code remain as a non-conforming use. <br /> • For purposes of city land use controls adopted before August 1, 1981, M. S. § <br /> 1111 327.36 re-defines the term "mobile homes" when it occurs in those <br /> ordinances to include the term "manufactured homes" as defined in the <br /> above law. Newer ordinances which define "mobile home" as structures <br /> which do not comply with the manufactured home building code,can restrict <br /> or prohibit the use of these "mobile homes" as residences within the city. <br /> However, existing "mobile homes" remain as non-conforming uses. <br /> • A city can not require a manufactured home which was built under the <br /> manufactured home code to comply with any other building,plumbing, <br /> heating or electrical code or any construction standards. See M. S.32732, <br /> Subdivision 5. <br /> • Cities can apply architectural and aesthetic requirements to manufactured <br /> homes only if the same architectural and esthetic requirements also apply to <br /> all other single family homes in the zoning district,not just to manufactured <br /> homes. See M. S. 327.32, Subdivision 5. <br /> 10. Manufactured home parks. Likewise, many ordinances inconsistent with the <br /> state law and rules concerning manufactured home parks. <br /> • A manufactured home park is, by law, a conditional use in any zoning <br /> district that allows the construction or placement of a building used or <br /> intended to be used by two or more families. <br /> • Cities can not enact, amend, or enforce a zoning ordinance that has the effect <br /> of altering the existing density, lot-size requirements, or manufactured home <br /> set back requirements in any manufactured home park constructed before <br /> 5 <br />
