County Adopts New Mobile Home Law
Frederick County commissioners adopt a new mobile home ordinance in a unanimous vote effective immediately. The law allows single mobile homes in C-1 and A-1 districts under size and distance limits and permits replacement of substandard dwellings destroyed by natural disasters in A-1 and C-1 districts. A new MHD zoning designation governs mobile home parks, with platting and design standards added to subdivision rules, and provisions for farms. Commissioner Collins opposed immediate effectiveness and urged retroactivity for pending park requests.
