A manufactured home shall have approved foundation skirting around its entire perimeter. The skirting shall be installed per the manufacturer's installation instructions or, if the manufacturer is not specific, to the standards of this section. The skirting must be vented and allow access to the under floor area per the manufacturer's installation instructions or per the standards in this section.

Skirting must be of materials suitable for ground contact. Metal fasteners must be galvanized, stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant material. Ferrous metal members in contact with the earth, other than those that are galvanized or stainless steel, must be coated with an asphaltic emulsion. Skirting must not be attached in such a manner that can cause water to be trapped between the skirting and the siding or trim. The skirting must be recessed behind the siding or trim.

The skirting must be vented as follows except for manufactured homes sited in a flood hazard area. Skirting must be vented by openings protected from the entrance of rodents by being covered with corrosion-resistant wire mesh with openings of one-quarter inch in dimension. Such openings must have a net free area of not less than one square foot for each one hundred fifty square feet of under floor area. Ventilation openings must be located as close to corners and as high as practical. Openings must be located to provide cross-ventilation on at least two opposite sides. (Ord. 2032, § 1 (Exh. A), 2017; Ord. 1619, § 2, 2004. Formerly 11.10.070.)
