According to gobogalusa, the Franklinton (Louisiana) Board of Aldermen heard the results of the meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding the regulation of modular homes. Building inspector Bob Walters said they are built similarly to manufactured homes but are governed by the International Residential Code (IRC). Walters stated the zoning book definition is not accurate, but the commission decided to allow modular homes as defined into R1 zoning areas as long as they are compatible with existing homes. As MHProNews has learned, the town attorney recommended the language be better defined in order to insure compatibility, especially in terms of the width of modular homes.
