DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
September 12 , 1985
MEMORANDUM TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
THROUGH: "r �7 MICHAEL J. McNULTY, CITY MANAGER
FROM: r. CHARLES R. NEWCOMER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
PREPARED BY: RODNEY CLASS-ERICKSON, PLANNING ASSISTANT
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR AGENDA ITEM - WORKSESSION - SEPTEMBER 16 , 1985
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CODE ADDRESSING
HUD STANDARD MOBILE HOMES
Since mobile home or manufactured housing units are a major element of Apache
Junctions residential development, it is in the best interest of Apache
Junction's residents and the City's development to ensure the quality of
mobile homes proposed for installation or relocation in Apache Junction meet
adequate environmental standards , as well as , fire and life safety standards .
As of June 1 , 1985, the Arizona Division of Motor Vehicles will refuse to
accept application for title or application for Affidavit of Affixture unless
the home has been inspected and received a certificate of compliance from the
State Office of Manufactured Housing. (Reference Senate Bill 1269) . The
purpose of this inspection is to ensure that mobile homes coming into the state
of Arizona meet fire and life safety standards. It should be noted that
environmental standards are not addressed by this inspection requirement. In
addition, mobile homes currently titled in Arizona , regardless of age or use ,
are exempt from the requirements of Sentate Bill 1269. It would be ineffectual
to incorporate this inspection requirement as a part of an amendment to the
city code because of the following:
1. It does not address environmental standards.
2. It excludes mobile homes currently titled in Arizona.
3. And, the Office of Manufactured Housing does not have
the jurisdiction to conduct inspections upon request of
another jurisdiction.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Proposed Amendment te^`ie City Code Addressing
HUD Standard Mobile Humes
September 11, 1985
Page Two
At present, the only alternative available which will address environmental
standards and fire and life safety standards is to restrict mobile homes
proposed for installation or relocation to those manufactured after June 15 ,
1976 and affixed with a decal certifying the mobile home was manufactured
in accordance with the Department of Housing and Urban Development standards.
Several communities in Arizona have restricted residential development with
respect to mobile home and manufactured housing units. Lake Havasau City .-.
and Bullhead City only allow mobile home units manufactured after June 15,
1976 and in compliance with HUD standards. Mesa and Yuma will allow non-HUD
standard mobile home units in parks. However, they restrict mobile homes
from development on individual lots unless they were manufactured after June
15, 1976 and manufactured in compliance with HUD standards.
The possible wording of an ordinance could read as follows:
"Mobile homes or manufactured housing units proposed for installation or
relocation in Apache Junction , Arizona, shall be restricted to those
manufactured after June 15, 1976 and affixed with a decal certifying that said
unit was manufactured in accordance with the Department of Housing and Urban
Development standards. This amendment shall not prohibit the continued
occupancy of a mobile home or manufactured housing unit not meeting said standards
currently located in the City, nor does it prohibit the relocation to another
space within an individual mobile home park of non-certified units ."
If the City Council decides to pursue HUD standard mobile homes , staff will
put the amendment in ordinance form.
