Primary-source summary
KRS Chapter 100 is the **exclusive source** of local planning and zoning authority in Kentucky. A city, county, or consolidated local government may regulate land use **only** via the powers expressly delegated in Chapter 100. Cities without a planning commission under KRS 100 have **no independent zoning authority**.Trigger predicate
When this evaluates true for a parcel, the law's preempted fields take precedence over base zoning.
project.use_type == manufactured_home_hud_codePreempted fields
3 fields on the base district schema are rewritten when the trigger fires.

Authority source
KRS 100.348 (original anti-exclusion floor); 2025 HB 160 (Acts Ch. 154, signed April 1, 2025, effective July 1, 2026) — parity amendment; KRS 227.605 (state construction-code authority)
§ KRS §100.348; KRS §227.605
Research notes
Federal HUD Code (24 CFR Part 3280; 42 USC §5401 et seq.) preempts state/local construction standards for manufactured homes — federal conflict check applies. 2025 HB 160 passed the House 95-0 and is the first substantive KY manufactured-housing preemption since the original KRS 100.348. The parity floor activates July 1, 2026; until then the anti-exclusion floor controls. Carve-out: home-rule cities preserved inside Louisville Metro that do not separately administer KRS Chapter 100 zoning are not the target. Pre-HUD-code 'mobile homes' (built before 1976) are not protected.
