Proposed code would allow tiny‑home parks in R‑4 and sets design rules; tiny homes defined under 400 sq ft

Apr 30, 2026

The packet would permit Tiny Home Parks as an allowable use in R‑4, add design guidelines for such parks, and defines 'tiny home' as a permanently installed dwelling under 400 square feet; the packet disallows tiny homes on wheels as primary residences in residential zones.

The full story

The proposed amendments add Tiny Home Park as an allowable use in the R‑4 residential district (new subsection 18.50.010D) and include a new supplemental regulation (section 18.100.290) that lays out design guidelines for Tiny Home Parks. The packet distinguishes between permanently installed tiny homes and 'tiny homes on wheels'; the latter are described as mobile units that function like recreational vehicles and are not allowed as a primary home in residential zones — they must be parked in an RV park.
