(1)

The mobile and modular home installation shall comply with all requirements for location of a normal dwelling unit on such residentially zoned property. All normal inspection fees shall be paid and it shall be required that each such unit connect directly to all required utility services such as sanitary sewer, water, gas, electricity, etc. Normal fees for connection to such services shall be paid by the owner. A standard fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per unit shall be paid in lieu of payment of a building permit as would normally be required for the construction of a conventional dwelling unit.

The party or individual desiring to locate a mobile or modular home within A-2 and A-3 residential zoning districts shall obtain a statement from the assessor of the parish, identifying the owners of all property located within a five-hundred-foot radius of the perimeter of the property on which the home is to be located. All property owners located within this area shall be notified by certified mail (return receipt requested) of the intent to locate a mobile or modular home on such property. The location of the mobile or modular units shall bear description in this notice by reference to municipal address, lot or block number, or other means of identification readily understood by the surrounding property owners. The mobile or modular home owner shall receive from at least seventy (70) percent of the owners of the surrounding property written concurrence and approval for the location of the unit in the described location.

(3)

The mobile or modular home owner shall submit to the building permit department the statement from the parish assessor's office identifying surrounding property owners, receipts for certified mail indicating that each of the property owners has been notified of the intent to locate a mobile or modular home in the described location, and a written confirmation from at least seventy (70) percent of these owners stating their approval of such location. The mobile or modular home owner shall also submit evidence to indicate that the value of such mobile or modular home has been added to the tax rolls in the office of the parish assessor.

(4)

No mobile or modular home shall be located in A-2 or A-3 residential districts without first having satisfied the above-mentioned requirements.

(5)

If a mobile or modular home should be located legally in an A-2 or A-3 residential district and shall subsequently be removed from its site, the same procedure shall be followed as outlined for the initial installation before the unit can be reinstalled in its original location.

(6)

The mobile or modular home so located shall be securely anchored to a permanent foundation as approved by the building inspector of the city.

(7)

All mobile homes presently installed within the city in violation of the above requirements shall be required to be brought into compliance by the owner of such unit within a period of six (6) months of the date of this section.
