Pursuant to authority of Chapter 22 of Title 44 of the Idaho Code, the city of Donnelly is obligated to implement the statewide standards promulgated by the Idaho Division of Building Safety for the installation of mobile/manufactured homes, including the securing of permits prior to installation of mobile/manufactured homes within the city’s jurisdiction, to provide for a program of inspection of such installations in coordination with the licensed installers, and the state plumbing and electrical inspectors, and to ensure compliance with the standards. [Ord. 230, 2016.]
18.100.020 Intent.
Manufactured home (formerly “mobile home” as defined by Idaho Code, Section 39-4105(14)). The intent of this chapter is to establish standards and regulations governing the location and approval of manufactured homes in the city and to allow a mix of housing types and living styles; however, this should occur in a manner which will not adversely affect existing neighborhoods. For this reason, standards have been set that will regulate the appearance of manufactured homes, allowing those that are acceptably similar in appearance to site-built dwellings. [Ord. 230, 2016.]
18.100.030 Manufactured/mobile homes permitted.
Manufactured/mobile homes shall be confined to single-family dwellings. Installation shall be governed by the provisions of the Idaho Manufactured Home Installation Standard of July 1, 2000, and as it may be amended or reenacted from time to time thereafter. Mobile homes manufactured prior to 1976 shall not be permitted unless and until they have been upgraded to conform to the rehabilitation requirements set forth at Chapter 25 of Title 44 of the Idaho Code, Mobile Home Rehabilitation. [Ord. 230, 2016.]
