17-5-5 Standards for Manufactured Homes.
All manufactured homes that are placed within or substantially improved while located within a regulatory floodplain shall apply for and obtain a floodplain use permit summarizing site conditions including base flood elevation, depth of the base flood, and minimum prudent erosion setback. The application for a floodplain use permit shall be accompanied by a site plan, prepared by an Arizona registered engineer, that conforms to the State of Arizona Office of Manufactured Housing, “Minimum Standards for Manufactured Housing Foundations in Floodplains,” dated October 14, 2009, or as subsequently amended. Accessory structures attached to a manufactured home must meet the provisions of this chapter unless its uses are limited to parking of vehicles or storage. Furthermore, manufactured homes shall:
A. Be elevated so that the lowest structural member or the lowest point of any attached appliances, whichever is lower, is at or above the regulatory flood elevation. Pit-set installations are prohibited whenever the lowest structural member or appliance is below the regulatory flood elevation;
B. Be securely anchored to an adequately anchored foundation system to resist flotation, collapse, or lateral movement. This anchoring requirement is in addition to applicable State and local anchoring requirements for resisting wind forces; and
C. Upon completion of installation of the manufactured home, certification by an Arizona registered professional engineer or Arizona registered professional land surveyor that the elevation requirements of this section have been satisfied shall be provided to the Floodplain Administrator for verification.
