17.22.010 Intent.
The R-M (residential mobile home) district is intended to allow mobile home dwellings within the subdivision which are provided with a full range of public utilities if available. The specific purpose is to make available areas within the city for a specific location of single-family dwellings or single-family mobile home dwellings. The R-M zone will also discourage any use which would generate traffic on minor streets other than normal traffic to serve the residential dwellings on those streets. This district is intended primarily for single-family dwellings at moderate densities. Structures and uses required to serve recreational, religious and other noncommercial needs of residential areas are allowed as permitted or conditional uses subject to restrictions intended to preserve a residential character generally similar to that of a standard single-family area. (Ord. 03-15 § 8 (part): prior code § 30-18(a))
