Re: Ordinance No. 20-1982
Plan Commission Case PC-82-8
Dear Mr. Mills, Members of Common Council and Mrs. Trimble:
The Richmond City Plan Commission conducted a public hearing on
Tuesday, June 1, 1982, on its petition requesting to amend the
Zoning Ordinance to provide for standards and requirements rela-
tive to manufactured homes.
The proposed amendment has previously been discussed with Common
Council in a meeting of the Committee of the Whole. The major
features of the proposed Ordinance amends the Zoning Ordinance
definition of "dwelling", add a new Zoning Ordinance definition
for manufactured homes, which is consistent with IC 36-7-4-1106,
prohibiting the placement of a manufactured home in a historic
district, require Special Use Authorization for the placement of
a manufactured home in the R-1 and R-2 zoning districts, and allow
the placement of a manufactured home in a R-3, R-4, C-1 and C-2
zoning district as a permitted use.
During the public hearing, no one spoke in opposition to the pro-
posed zoning ordinance amendment.
The Plan Commission voted nine (9) to zero (0) to recommend Ordi-
nance No. 20-1982 be adopted.
Respectfully submitted,
gLnLPLAN CONMSSION

Executive Secretary
