DISCUSSION
The applicant is requesting a Manufactured Home Permit to park a new manufactured home
seventy-two (72) feet by thirty-two (32) feet in a Residential (R-7) District. This is the
applicant's first permit. However, the applicant has parked an older double wide sixty (60) feet
by twenty-eight (28) feet manufactured home on this property since the 1980's.
The manufactured home will be located on property belonging to the applicant.
The property is served by public water and private septic system.
The Health Department has not reported there is no environmental health hazard in existence.
2 05SN0125-SEPT22-BOS
This request, which is for seven (7) years, appears to be in character with the neighborhood at the
present time. The manufactured home will be located in an area designated by the Midlothian
Area Community Plan for residential use. Adjacent properties are zoned Residential (R-7). This
is an older, well-established, residential area with a mixture of different types of single family
dwellings. If a manufactured home had not been parked on the subject property, staff would
recommend denial. However, since a manufactured home has been parked on the subject
property since the 1980's, staff would recommend approval subject to the aforementioned
conditions.
Because of the potential for future development in this area, staff believes that the Board should
advise the applicant to look upon this request as a temporary dwelling, if approved, it may or
may not necessarily be renewed.
Staff recommends approval of this request for seven (7) years, subject to Conditions 1 through 4,
as noted herein.
