Uses in a f4ob i:le Home Park_ District Mr. «olle discussed the
Mobile Homo Park as a special use and possibly too selective to be
considered as a district in itself. After discussion of other user
that may be admitted, the Bo"ard affirmed a suggestion of Arn

R--1 zones provided setback controls were commensurate to the use
permitted. '

with .the City Commission as to whether the Board worked with the
