In the exercise of any of the powers and duties conferred by law, no governing body of a political subdivision of the state or any planning and zoning agency thereunder shall exclude multi-section manufactured homes from a specific-use district in which site- built, single-family housing is allowed or place more severe restrictions upon a multi- section manufactured home than are placed upon single-family, site-built housing within that specific-use district so long as the manufactured housing is built or constructed according to the Housing and Urban Development Zone Code II or the Uniform Building Code. The governing body of any political subdivision of the state or any planning and zoning agency thereunder is authorized to regulate manufactured housing to require that it meets all requirements other than original construction requirements of other single-family dwellings that are site-built homes in the same specific-use district and to further require by ordinance that such manufactured housing be consistent with applicable historic or aesthetic standards.
