3.04.05 R-4 MOBILE HOME PARK DISTRICT.

A. District Description.

The purpose of this district is to provide suitable areas within the community for the location of mobile home parks. The intent is to allow occupancy of mobile homes on individual lots or in mobile home parks with related uses and facilities in keeping with the character of a residential development. No mobile home may be placed upon individual lots within the corporate limits of Athens except within a mobile home park or subdivision approved for mobile homes.

B. Pre-Application Review.

Whenever a mobile home park is proposed on land within the City of Athens, the developer is urged to consult early and informally with the planning commission staff. The developer may submit sketch plans and data showing existing conditions within the site and in its vicinity and the proposed layout and development of the mobile home park. No fee shall be charged for the pre-application review and no formal application shall be required.

The purpose of the pre-application review is to afford the mobile home park developer an opportunity to avail himself of the advice and assistance of the planning commission staff in order to facilitate the subsequent preparation and approval of acceptable site plans.
