In development of single vacant sites within a developed area, the unit shall be compatible with structures on adjacent properties. Development of manufactured housing shall comply with site plan, development standards or other design criteria as required for the underlying zone.
(3) Units shall not be less than 24 feet in width or 36 feet in length.
