Petition of the Board of
Supervisors for an amendment
to the Roanoke County zoning
Ordinance to modify the
provisions for mobile homes.
APPROVED
Mr. Jim Lehe of the Department of Development presented
a proposed mobile home ordinance to the Board of Supervisors. He
also delivered a slide presentation of the different types of
mobile homes.
The proposed ordinance creates a new zoning district
(R-MH) which is designed to increase opportunities for affordable
housing alternatives, to recognize modern advances in
manufactured housing technology and to provide cost effective
567
March 25, 1986
site development. The new ordinance also creates three major
categories of mobile homes, Class A, B, and C.
Mr. E. O. Graham, Route 2, Box 393, Boone Mill,
Virginia, was present to speak against the proposed mobile home
ordinance. He feels that it is too strict and that because of
the restrictions, young people will not be able to afford this
type of housing.
Ms. Trudy Blankenship, Route 1, Box 71-F, Elliston,
Virginia, inquired about the effective date of the proposed
ordinance. County Attorney, Paul Mahoney, reported that the
effective date will be April 1, 1986.
Supervisor McGraw moved to approve the proposed
ordinance with the proposed changes included in the packet. The
motion was seconded by Supervisor Brittle.
FINAL ORDER
WHEREAS, your Petitioner, the Board of County
Supervisors of Roanoke County, did initiate by resolution an
amendment to the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance, Appendix A of
the Code of the County of Roanoke, Virginia pertaining to mobile
homes.
WHEREAS, after due legal notice, the Planning
Commission did hold a public hearing of the petition on February
18, 1986, at which time, all parties in interest were given an
opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS, after full consideration, the Board of County
Supervisors determined that the amendment be approved.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Roanoke County

A.
Intent
The provisions of the R-MH Manufactured Housing
Combining District are designed to increase
opportunities for affordable housing alternatives, to
recognize modern advances in manufactured housing

locations where manufactured housing communities may
harmoniously develop in residential areas in which a

housing--may also develop. Furthermore, this district
provides for institutional support services, such as
schools, churches, parks, and community clubs within
5~

residential neighborhoods, yet protects against the
intrusion of incompatible commercial and industrial
uses.

In the R-MH Manufactured Housing Combining District,
the following uses may be permitted upon approval by
and subject to the conditions set by the Board of
Supervisors:
(1) All uses permitted by special exception in the
zoning district with which the R-MH District is
combined.
(2) Mobile home park.
E. Area Requirements
(1) Each lot for a single family dwelling or
manufactured home in the R-MH Manufactured Housing
Combining District (except in an approved mobile
home park or manufactured housing subdivision)
shall have the following minimum area requirements:
(a) Where public water and sewer is not provided:
- lot frontage width - 90 feet.
- total lot area - 15,000 square feet, except
where an individual sewage disposal system is
provided, the minimum total lot area
requirement may be increased by the County
health official.
(b) Where public water and sewer is provided:
- lot frontage width - 60 feet.
- total lot area - 7,200 square feet.
(2) A mobile home park shall require a minimum tract
size of 10 acres.
(3) A manufactured housing subdivision shall require a
minimum tract size of 5 acres.
570
March 25, 1986
(4) All other uses shall meet the area requirements of
the zoning district with which the R-MH District is
combined.
F. Yard Requirements
(1) Single family dwellings and manufactured homes on
each lot in the R-MH Manufactured Housing
Combining District shall meet the following minimum
setback requirements (except in an approved mobile
home park or manufactured housing cluster
subdivision):
(a) Front yard: 30 feet from the street
right-of-way.
(b) Side yard: 10 feet
(c) Corner side yard: 25 feet from the street
right-of-way.
(d) Rear yard: 25 feet
(2) Accessory buildings shall be set back at least 3
feet from any side or rear property line and shall
not be permitted in front of the main building; the
corner side yard for an accessory building shall be
the same as for the main dwelling.
(3) Yard requirements for a mobile home park shall be
measured along the project perimeter, as if the
entire park were a single lot.
(4) Yard requirements within a manufactured housing
subdivision may be reduced when lots are clustered.
(5) Yard requirements for all other uses shall meet the
requirements of the zoning district with which the
R-MH District is combined.
G. Planned Development Regulations
(1) For a Mobile Home Park Development, refer to Sec.
21-41-4.

21-41-5 MANUFACTURED HOUSING SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT
A. Tract Area
A manufactured housing subdivision may be permitted on
a tract size of five (5) or more contiguous acres in
the R-MH Manufactured Housing Combining District.
B. Use Limitations
(a) That portion of the R-MH District which is declared
a manufactured housing subdivision shall have
permitted uses limited to class A or B manufactured
home dwellings and single family dwellings.

combination of manufactured homes and single family
dwellings, at least sixty percent (60%) of the lots

subdivision shall contain the following statement:
"This is a manufactured housing subdivision."
(b) The plat shall indicate which lots are reserved
exclusively for class A or B manufactured homes as

'í"." '
5 ' .,
March 25, 1986
and yard requirements of the R-MH District, parts E and
F of Sec. 21-22-5, shall apply.
E. Cluster Subdivision
(a) Where clustering of lots is applied to preserve
outstanding natural features and to provide open
space and amenities to residents of the project,
the area, frontage, and yard requirements of this
section may be substituted for the conventional
subdivision requirements of the R-MH District.
(b) Public water and sewer connections must be provided
to each lot to qualify as a cluster subdivision.
F. Lot Area and Open Space Requirements
(a) The minimum lot area required in a cluster
subdivision may be reduced from the conventional
lot requirement to a minimum area of 5,000 square
feet, provided common open space allocated to all
residents of the project justifies the reduction.
(b) The total amount of common open space shall be the
sum required for each lot within the subdivision.
The amount of common open space (OS) generated by
each lot shall be determined by dividing the floor
area (FA) of the dwelling by a ratio (FAR) of 0.174
and subtracting the lot area (LA). The open space
formula is stated as:
os = FA - LA
FAR
For example, a 1,200 square foot dwelling on a
6,000 square foot lot requires 897 square feet of
common open space.
os = 1,200 - 6,000 = 897
0.174

shall be improved for recreation to all residents.

be determined by multiplying the sum of all lot
areas (LA) and total common open space (OS) by a
factor (RSR) of 0.033. The recreation space
formula is stated as: RS = (LA + OS) RSR.
For example, a 30 unit project containing lot area
totaling 180,000 square feet and common open space
totaling 30,000 square feet requires 6,930 square
feet of recreation space.
RS = (180,000 + 30,000) 0.033 = 6,930
H. Ownership and Maintenance of Common Areas and Facilities
(a) All required recreation and open space shall be hel~ in
common by all residents of the subdivision through
homeowners' association or other legal entity.
-
58
March 25, 1986

proposal.
(c) Any public park donation within a project shall be

(a) For clustered lots reduced to less than 7,200 squar
feet, the minimum frontage width shall be 50 feet; r
lots of 7,200 square feet or greater
within the same cluster subdivision, the minimum
frontage width shall be 60 feet.
(b) The minimum depth of each lot shall be twice the
frontage width.
(c) All lots shall front on a local public street; dire
access to a major collector or arterial street outs' e
the subdivision (as determined by the Roanoke Count
Transportation Plan), shall not be permitted.
(d) Although frontage may be reduced to 50 feet; Virgin'
Department of Highways and Transportation (VDH&T)
street standards require 60 feet spacing between
driveways. Consequently, share driveways or common
parking bays for reduced frontage lots may be requi d.
K. Yards
Each lot in a cluster subdivision shall meet the
following requirements:
(a) Front yard: Front setbacks shall be varied
between adjoining lots but not be less than 20 feet
from the local street right-of-way or 30 feet from
