limitations.

1.

Except as otherwise provided in this section, in an ordinance relating to the zoning of land adopted or amended by a governing body, the definition of “single-family residence” must include a manufactured home.

2.

Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 1, a governing body shall adopt standards for the placement of a manufactured home that will not be affixed to a lot within a mobile home park which require that:

(a)

The manufactured home:

(1)

Be permanently affixed to a residential lot;

(2)

Be manufactured within the 6 years immediately preceding the date on which it is affixed to the residential lot;

(3)

Have exterior siding and roofing which is similar in color, material and appearance to the exterior siding and roofing primarily used on other single-family residential dwellings in the immediate vicinity of the manufactured home, as established by the governing body;

(4)

Consist of more than one section; and

(5)

Consist of at least 1,200 square feet of living area unless the governing body, by administrative variance or other expedited procedure established by the governing body, approves a lesser amount of square footage based on the size or configuration of the lot or the square footage of single-family residential dwellings in the immediate vicinity of the manufactured home; and

(b)

If the manufactured home has an elevated foundation, the foundation is masked architecturally in a manner determined by the governing body.

Ê The governing body of a local government in a county whose population is less than 45,000 may adopt standards that are less restrictive than the standards set forth in this subsection.

3.

Standards adopted by a governing body pursuant to subsection 2 must be objective and documented clearly and must not be adopted to discourage or impede the construction or provision of affordable housing, including, without limitation, the use of manufactured homes for affordable housing.

4.

Before a building department issues a permit to place a manufactured home on a lot pursuant to this section, other than a new manufactured home, the owner must surrender the certificate of ownership to the Housing Division of the Department of Business and Industry. The Division shall provide proof of such a surrender to the owner who must submit that proof to the building department.

5.

The provisions of this section do not abrogate a recorded restrictive covenant prohibiting manufactured homes, nor do the provisions apply within the boundaries of a historic district established pursuant to NRS 384.005 or 384.100. An application to place a manufactured home on a residential lot pursuant to this section constitutes an attestation by the owner of the lot that the placement complies with all covenants, conditions and restrictions placed on the lot and that the lot is not located within a historic district.

6.

As used in this section:

(a)

“Manufactured home” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 489.113.

(b)

“New manufactured home” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 489.125.
