Project Narrative 
Zoning Text Amendment to the City of El Mirage, Arizona Zoning Code: Land Usage Volume 
2 Chapter 154.052 Permitted Uses by Zone, Residential Use Category pertaining to 
Manufactured and Modular Homes. 
The staff is requesting a prohibition on the use of manufactured or modular homes in the 
Mixed-Use and Suburban Neighborhood zoning districts. Residents feel that these types of 
homes negatively affect property values. At present, the Building Code and Zoning Code do not 
offer guidelines on the aesthetic aspects of these homes.  
Restricting these dwelling types in Suburban Neighborhoods and Mixed-Use zones will limit 
their availability to only the Mobile Home and Rural Area zoning districts.
