OCEAN CITY – The code regarding Mobile Home Districts will likely soon be changed on the height of homes, while the council will further deliberate allowing more flexibility regarding the height of a roof pitch at a later date.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Mayor and City Council considered a recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission to amend the Code regarding the Mobile Home (MH) Residential District to state, “The area above the maximum building height under a sloped roof not exceeding a 7/12 roof pitch may be used for habitation subject to the dormers not exceeding the ridge line, which shall be determined by the narrow width (and not the length), of the main building and in compliance with all applicable life safety regulations.”
The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on Sept. 16 to discuss the matter following a request by residents of those communities to consider this issue proactively to minimize light, air and ventilation restrictions and hazards that might be associated with such narrow lots and minimum setbacks in the MH District.
