UNIFORM REGULATIONS FOR MANUFACTURED HOUSING (§ 15.2-2290)

A. Localities adopting and enforcing zoning ordinances under the provisions of
this article shall provide that, in all agricultural zoning districts or
districts having similar classifications regardless of name or designation where
agricultural, horticultural, or forest uses such as but not limited to those
described in &#xA7; 58.1-3230 are the dominant use, the placement of
manufactured houses that are on a permanent foundation and on individual lots
shall be permitted, subject to development standards that are equivalent to
those applicable to site-built single family dwellings within the same or
equivalent zoning district.

B. Localities adopting and enforcing zoning regulations under the provisions of
this article may, to provide for the general purposes of zoning ordinances,
adopt uniform standards, so long as they apply to all residential structures
erected within the agricultural zoning district or other districts identified in
subsection A of this section incorporating such standards. The standards shall
not have the effect of excluding manufactured housing.

C. Local zoning ordinances adopting provisions consistent with this section
shall not relieve lots or parcels from the obligations relating to manufactured
housing units imposed by the terms of a restrictive covenant.
