Proposed code would allow tiny-home parks in R-4, ban tiny homes on wheels in residential zones

Apr 30, 2026

The zoning packet defines 'tiny home' as a permanently installed dwelling under 400 square feet, would permit Tiny Home Parks as an allowable use in R-4, and clarifies that mobile tiny homes must be treated as RVs and be in RV parks. Design guidelines for tiny-home parks were included in the proposal.

The full story

The proposed text amendments add a definition of "tiny home" and distinguish tiny homes from "tiny homes on wheels." The packet reads: "Tiny home means a small dwelling unit under 400 square feet that is permanently installed." It further states that tiny homes on wheels, defined as mobile units under 400 square feet, are treated like recreational vehicles and "are not allowable use in any residential zone within the town" and must be parked in an RV park.
