Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manufactured housing is a major affordable housing resource for millions of people. Restrictive zoning barriers limit its availability, even though studies have discredited myths, such as objections to its safety and quality. A national statute, the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act, authorizes building code standards that address all aspects of safety, durability and quality, and that preempt state and local codes that deal with this problem. The Act does not preempt restrictive zoning, and Congress should amend the law to cover zoning restrictions. Judicial control of zoning barriers to manufactured housing is unsatisfactory and requires statutory change. Courts accept unequal treatment that applies restrictive zoning only to manufactured housing, though some statutes prohibit discrimination. The cases uphold exclusions from residential districts if manufactured housing is allowed elsewhere. Some statutes prohibit exclusion by requiring manufactured housing as a permitted use in all residential districts, or allow a community to decide what residential districts must accept manufactured housing. Courts uphold aesthetic standards, such as roofing and siding requirements, and some statutes authorize them, though limitations are needed to protect manufactured housing from exclusionary treatment. Communities often require approval of manufactured housing as a conditional use, and approval as a conditional use is often denied. Courts have upheld conditional use denials, and statutory protective standards are needed that will prevent abuse of the conditional use requirement.
Download or read book Regulatory Barriers to Manufactured Housing Placement in Urban Communities written by Casey J. Dawkins and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manufactured housing (MH) units (built under the HUD Code in the controlled environment of a manufacturing plant and transported in one or more sections on a permanent chassis) provide an important source of affordable housing. After adjusting for land costs, the per square foot cost of HUD-Code housing is less than half of standard, site-built housing. With the increased use of multi-section units and recent innovations in MH building technology, particularly integrated floor and chassis systems, many MH units are now virtually indistinguishable from conventional site-built units. This report examines the scope and severity of state and local regulatory barriers to MH placement within CDBG-eligible communities. Ill. A print on demand report.

Book excerpt: There have been few research efforts that address the perceptions, design, and legal issues of manufactured housing. Today much of the perception of manufactured housing is based on the "mobile units" and "trailer parks" that predated the late 1970s. The negative perception toward using manufactured housing as a residential unit, has led to the adoption of exclusionary ordinances that hinders and prevent the placement of manufactured homes. There have been favorable and unfavorable court decisions on the exclusionary practices concerning the legal system. Urban Systemized Housing v City of Louisville, a landmark case for the City of Louisville and Jefferson County, was instrumental in the amendment of their zoning ordinances that prohibited the placement of manufactured housing. In recent years the manufactured housing industry has evolved from single-wide and doublewide styles with low pitch roofs to two-story homes matching the appearance standards of traditional site-built housing (Holiday Homes, 2001). This thesis will examine the effects of barriers that have historically existed as deterrents to the use of on Manufactured Housing (MFH) as a housing option in inner cities. In many instances, such barriers prohibit the use of MFH as a viable alternative for affordable housing. This body of academic research will examine the major factors that reveal how these barriers were created and seeks to dispel unfounded perceptions and myths associated with manufactured housing. Furthermore, what needs to be accomplished to remove the negative stigmas surrounding perceptions, design and legal issues pertaining to MFH in the City of Covington Kentucky.

Download or read book Zoning as a Barrier to Multifamily Housing Development written by Gerrit Knaap and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the relationships between zoning and housing in six metropolitan areas. Using census and GIS data, the authors found indicators of zoning regulations and housing market performance in Boston; Miami-Dade County; Minneapolis-St. Paul; Portland; Sacramento; and Washington, D.C. They evaluated state statutes and regional and local plans in each metropolitan. The result is documentary evidence that exclusionary zoning is a significant barrier to higher-density, multifamily housing, which is often--but not always--more affordable than single-family housing. The CD-ROM included with the report includes detailed information on research methodology and data sources and summarizes the literature and public-policy document review undertaken by the authors.
