    G.

    Mobile Home. A movable or portable housing structure larger than forty feet in body length, eight feet in width or eleven feet in overall height, designed for and occupied by no more than one family for living and sleeping purposes but does not include structures built to the standards of any municipal building code and other technical codes;

    J.

    Group Home. A building that would otherwise be categorized as a single-family home, except that the number of unrelated individuals living in the unit do not qualify under the definition of family. If the unit would otherwise qualify as other types of dwelling units defined in this title, such as apartment or attached housing, then the use shall be treated as such. The operation of a group home shall be a family living environment, not an institutional environment where staff manages the living and controls activities. Co-op, other institutional residential, and boarding house type operations are expressly excluded since these uses are institutional or commercial lodging uses.
