§ 656.430. Findings, intent and public purpose.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    The Council of the City of Jacksonville finds that in order to protect the character and integrity of the many residential subdivisions and neighborhoods of the City, certain minimum standards are necessary to ensure the compatibility of all new homes constructed within the City, or newly sited homes within the City, whether manufactured, modular or conventional "site-built" dwellings.

    (b)

    It is the intent of this Subpart C to encourage the provision of affordable housing in a general residential environment by permitting the use of both residential design manufactured housing and modular housing, as defined herein, within residential districts in which similar existing dwellings are located, subject to the requirements and procedures set forth herein, to ensure similarity in the exterior appearance of residential manufactured or modular dwellings and dwellings which have been conventionally constructed in the same neighborhood. Manufactured and modular homes are permitted in all zoning districts in which single-family dwellings are permitted, subject to the minimum requirements of those districts. In addition, new or newly sited manufactured, modular, and conventional "site-built" homes in all RLD, RMD-A, and RMD-B zoning districts and all PUD zoning districts which permit single-family residential development must comply with the additional requirements of this Subpart C.
