§ 6.11.112. Disaster Relief Dwellings

A.

Subject to Hillsborough County building permit requirements, manufactured homes, emergency cottages and recreational vehicles may be utilized for temporary dwellings following a Disaster Declaration, as defined in this Code, in any zoning district which permits residential use for a maximum of one year from the date of the Disaster Declaration or issuance of Certificates of Occupancy for permanent dwellings on the parcel, whichever occurs first.

B.

Subject to Hillsborough County building permit requirements, manufactured homes and recreational vehicles may be utilized for temporary dwellings following an emergency declaration by the Board of County Commissioners that recognized an occurrence that physically impacts the ability of persons to occupy their dwelling units. The temporary dwelling may be utilized by any person whose dwelling unit is covered by the emergency declaration on any parcel that is subject to the same site development or subdivision development permit as the parcel on which the dwelling unit covered by the emergency declaration is located, provided that the zoning district applicable to the property on which the temporary dwelling is to be located permits residential use. Each temporary dwelling may be utilized for a maximum of one year from the emergency declaration or issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or certificate of completion for the dwelling unit covered by the emergency declaration, whichever occurs first.

C.

The number of temporary dwellings permitted on a parcel shall conform with the regulations of this Code for permanent dwellings.

D.

The temporary dwelling(s) shall meet required setbacks of the district unless such placement precludes construction/repair of the permanent dwelling(s) on the parcel, in which case reduced setbacks may be approved by the Building Official. In such cases, the temporary dwelling(s) shall be placed in such a manner to minimize impacts on neighboring residential uses.

E.

Temporary dwelling permits may be renewed for an additional year, subject to approval of the Building Official.
