Manufactured Home Park Development
Reviewing Manufactured Home Parks Development Plans
Reviews of all plats and plans are required by local development ordinances, including the Subdivision, Manufactured Home Park, and Zoning Ordinances. These rules help guide responsible growth across the county. Each ordinance sets basic standards that developers must follow to protect public health, safety, and overall community well-being. Department staff review each proposal carefully to make sure it meets the specific requirements before moving forward.
Types of Manufactured Home Parks
- Minor Manufactured Home Parks: Four spaces or fewer, with no new streets.
- Major Manufactured Home Parks: Any development that does not meet the criteria above.
Preliminary Plan Process for Minor Manufactured Home Parks
The preliminary plat process helps ensure that new manufactured home parks meet all county development standards before construction begins. Below is a step-by-step outline of how the review process works.
- Submit five copies of the preliminary Manufactured Home Park (MHP) plan to the Pitt County Planning Department along with the required fee and application.
- Planning staff review the preliminary plan to confirm it meets the standards in the Manufactured Home Park Ordinance.
- The plan is then shared with several reviewing and regulatory agencies for comments and approval, including:
- Pitt County Emergency Services
- Pitt County Engineering Department
- Pitt County Environmental Health Division
- Pitt County Soil & Water
- Pitt County Schools
- North Carolina Department of Transportation
- U.S. Postal Service
- Utility Providers
- Planning staff review all feedback and take official action to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the plan. Comments and recommendations from reviewing agencies are shared with the developer and their surveyor or engineer as part of the conditional approval.
- If conditionally approved, the developer may move forward with the As-Built Plan procedure.
Preliminary Plan Process for Major Manufactured Home Parks
The preliminary plan process ensures that large manufactured home parks follow all zoning and development requirements before construction begins. Below is a step-by-step guide to the review and approval process.
- Confirm the property’s zoning and apply for a Special Use Permit from the Board of Adjustment if one is required.
- Once the Special Use Permit is approved, submit five copies of the preliminary plan to the Pitt County Planning Department along with the required fee and application.
- Planning staff review the preliminary plan to ensure it meets all regulations in the Manufactured Home Park Ordinance.
- The plan is shared with several reviewing and regulatory agencies for comments and feedback, including:
- Pitt County Emergency Services
- Pitt County Engineering Department
- Pitt County Environmental Health Division
- Pitt County Soil & Water
- Pitt County Schools
- North Carolina Department of Transportation
- U.S. Postal Service
- Utility Providers
- The preliminary plan is then reviewed by the Technical Review Committee (TRC), which discusses all requirements, conditions, and agency comments.
- After the TRC review, the plan is presented to the Pitt County Planning Board with recommendations from the TRC. The Planning Board will approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the plat. Comments and recommendations from Planning staff and agencies are compiled and shared with the developer and their surveyor or engineer as part of a conditional approval.
- If conditionally approved, the developer may proceed with the Construction Plan process.
Construction Plan Process for Major Manufactured Home Parks
The construction plan process ensures that all new roads, utilities, and other major improvements in a manufactured home park meet county and state development standards before work begins.
- When building a new street or making other major improvements, submit five copies of the Construction Plan to the Pitt County Planning Department along with the required fee and application.
- Planning staff review the Construction Plan to make sure it meets all requirements in the Manufactured Home Park Ordinance.
- The plan is then shared with reviewing and regulatory agencies for feedback, including:
- Pitt County Emergency Services
- Pitt County Engineering Department
- Pitt County Environmental Health Division
- Pitt County Soil & Water
- North Carolina Department of Transportation
- Utility Providers
- The Construction Plan is reviewed by the Technical Review Committee (TRC), which discusses all requirements, conditions, and agency comments.
- The TRC will then take official action to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the plan. Comments and recommendations from Planning staff and agencies are compiled and shared with the developer and their surveyor or engineer as part of a conditional approval.
- If conditionally approved, the developer may move forward with the As-Built Plan process.
As-Built Plan Process for Minor and Major Manufactured Home Parks
The As-Built Plan process is the final review step to confirm that all construction and site work match the approved plans and meet county standards before the project is officially completed.
- Submit five copies of the As-Built Plan to the Pitt County Planning Department along with the required fee and application.
- Planning staff review the As-Built Plan to ensure it follows all requirements in the Manufactured Home Park Ordinance and matches the approved preliminary and construction plans.
- The plan is then shared with the appropriate reviewing and regulatory agencies for final verification, including:
- Pitt County Emergency Services
- Pitt County Engineering Department
- Pitt County Environmental Health Division
- Pitt County Soil & Water
- Pitt County Schools
- North Carolina Department of Transportation
- U.S. Postal Service
- Utility Providers
- After review, the As-Built Plan is either approved or disapproved based on compliance with all requirements.
