Before BLACK and BARKETT, Circuit Judges, and HENDERSON, Senior Circuit Judge.


BLACK, Circuit Judge:

Spalding County, Georgia (County), amended its Zoning Ordinance to require that manufactured homes be built with a 4:12 roof pitch to qualify for placement in most residential districts. The district court struck down the 4:12 requirement, holding that the 4:12 requirement violates equal protection, substantive due process, and the dormant Commerce Clause and that the 4:12 requirement is preempted by federal law. We reverse.
