Modular Homes with a length to width ratio greater than 2, (i.e. Katrina Cottages), are permitted in R-4 Multi-Family Residential District and are a Conditional Use in most other districts. See the City of Wiggins Land Use Chart (starting on pg. 8 of the Land Development Code) for additional information.
