The subject property is located approximately 1,200 feet west of Jefferson Davis Highway and
consists of 0.4 acre. There are several manufactured homes located in this residential area; many of
them as well as this manufactured home have been located in this area for over thirty (30) years.
If this request was for a new manufactured home on the subject property and if the site was vacant,
staff would recommend denial. However, since a temporary manufactured home has been on this
site since 1972 (thirty-three (33) years) and it will not have an adverse impact on the character of
this residential area, staff recommends approval of this request for seven (7) years, subject to
conditions 1 through 4 as noted herein.
