Proposed Text:
See Attachment 1: Proposed Text
Reason for Requested Change:
To amend Harnett County’s U.D.O. pertaining to Manufactured Home Park use regulations.
Currently, manufactured home park sales offices are not permitted as an accessory use within
a manufactured home park because the Manufactured Home Park use regulations expressly
prohibit nonresidential land uses.
The proposed amendment would establish a new Subsection F to permit the sale of
Page 2 of 3
manufactured homes as an accessory use within a manufactured home park and to establish
specific use regulations governing that activity. In addition, a new Subsection G would clarify that the sale of manufactured homes within a manufactured home park is exempt from the
Unified Development Ordinance's prohibition on nonresidential land uses in manufactured
home parks.
The requested text amendment was initiated in response to a proposal from by the applicant, HH Spring Lake MHP Spring Lake NC, LLC., an owner and operator of manufacture home parks
within the County. The applicant utilizes a business model that includes the sale of
manufactured homes within the parks it owns and manages.
Under current regulations, the applicant is unable to obtain a dealer license from the north
Caolina Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) because NCGS § 20-286 requires a licensed dealer
to maintain an on-site sales office. The County’s Unified Development Ordinance currently
classifies a sales office as a nonresidential land use, an nonresidential land uses are prohibited within manufactured home parks.
By amending the text to allow for the sale of manufactured homes as an accessory use, the applicant will be able to obtain a dealer’s license from the State and sell manufactured homes
within a manufactured home park. The proposed text amendment will allow for the sales of
manufactured homes within a park to operate in the same manner as rentals within a
manufactured home park currently take place with no additional impact to the community or
surrounding land uses.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency: (Staff concludes that…)
The requested Text Amendment is reasonable due to compatibility with similar existing
regulations and the Harnett Horizons 2040 Future Land Use Plan.
The proposed text amendment will allow for the sales of manufactured homes within a park to
operate in the same manner as rentals within a manufactured home park with no additional impact on the community or surrounding land uses.
Additionally, the text amendment advances Goal 1, Strategy 1C, in the Housing chapter of the Harnett Horizons 2040 Future Land Use Plan.
Harnett Horizons 2040 Future Land Use Plan
Housing
Goal 1: Accommodate a mixture of housing types in appropriate areas.
Strategy 1C: Remove regulatory barriers to meet market demand for different housing types.
Therefore, it is recommended that this Text Amendment request be APPROVED.
