Summary

In Taylorsville's Manufactured Home (MH) Residential District, City Code § 13.20.070(L) caps lot coverage at 75 percent, restricting how much of each mobile home lot can be covered by the home, a garage, carport, cabana, awning or storage building within 3 feet of the side and rear lines.

The front yard of any space within three feet (3') of the side and rear lot lines, shall not be occupied and shall be open and unobstructed to the sky. Lot coverage shall not exceed seventy five percent (75%) of the lot. For purposes of this section, "occupied" means "covered by a mobile home/manufactured home, garage, carport, cabana, awning, storage building, or structure of any kind".

Full Breakdown

Section 13.20.070 sets out the MH District's own yard and coverage rules rather than relying on the R-1/R-2 table. Subsection L keeps the strip within 3 feet of the side and rear lot lines open and unobstructed to the sky, and then caps total lot coverage at 75 percent, defining 'occupied' broadly to include a mobile home or manufactured home, garage, carport, cabana, awning, storage building, or any other structure. That 75 percent ceiling sits alongside the district's other numeric standards: a 5-foot front setback from the sidewalk or roadway (including attached stairs, awnings and carports), a 7-foot-6-inch side setback per lot line with a combined two-side minimum of 15 feet, a 10-foot rear building separation, and a maximum height of 25 feet for the manufactured home structure itself and 12 feet for the dwelling roofline.

MH subdivisions also need a minimum 5-acre total development size, though individual lots carry no minimum area or width as long as required yards can be created and maintained. The Community Development Department administers these standards, and manufactured homes must meet the state of Utah's 1974 national manufactured housing construction and safety standards in addition to the local coverage and setback limits.

Violations & Fines

Chapter 13.20 sets no standalone fine for exceeding the 75 percent lot coverage cap. Absent a specific penalty, violating this or any Taylorsville ordinance is a misdemeanor under City Code § 1.08.020, punishable by up to six months in the county jail or a fine under $1,000 for an individual and up to $5,000 for a corporation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum lot coverage for a manufactured home in Taylorsville?
City Code § 13.20.070(L) caps lot coverage at 75 percent in the Manufactured Home (MH) Residential District. The strip within 3 feet of the side and rear lot lines must stay open and unobstructed to the sky, and coverage counts the home itself plus any garage, carport, cabana, awning or storage building.
How close to the property line can a manufactured home sit in Taylorsville?
Front setback is 5 feet from the sidewalk or roadway. Side setbacks run 7 feet 6 inches per lot line with a 15-foot combined two-side minimum, and the rear building separation is 10 feet, all under City Code § 13.20.070.
Does the 75 percent lot coverage rule apply to regular Taylorsville single-family lots too?
No. The 75 percent cap in § 13.20.070(L) applies specifically to the Manufactured Home (MH) Residential District. R-1 and R-2 single-family and two-family zones are governed instead by the setback and height table in § 13.20.020, which does not state a separate lot-coverage percentage.
