The code language under review would:

- Apply general R1 zone regulations to the R6B zone with specific exceptions.

- Prohibit installation of homes constructed before June 1976 (the effective date mentioned) unless otherwise compliant with the district rules.

- Require skirting around the perimeter of a manufactured home within 60 days of occupancy unless the home is sited on a conventional wall‑type perimeter foundation.

- Prohibit additions attached to mobile homes or manufactured homes less than 35 feet in length; additions are allowed for homes 35 feet or longer when appropriate permits are obtained through the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries.

- Allow metallic‑appearing siding on primary structures, outbuildings and accessory structures only if the exterior siding is protected by a manufacturer's guarantee of at least 20 years; this warranty requirement was discussed in the previous agenda item on metal siding/roofing.

Commissioners raised implementation and interpretive questions. Marshall noted that, if a supplier of an intermodal shipping container could certify a 20‑year life for the siding, the current d clause might be interpreted to allow shipping containers in the R6B zone — a result the commission said it did not want. Commissioners discussed inserting an explicit exception in d to exclude intermodal shipping containers from being treated as permitted siding or permanent outbuildings in the zone. The commission agreed to add that exception and bring revised language back for another meeting.

Commissioners also discussed the practical differences between R1 and R6B zones: R6B is the only zone where used manufactured homes (post‑1976 units) can be sited; R1 typically requires new manufactured homes. One commissioner noted that redesignating R6B to R1 would effectively require new manufactured homes citywide and could prevent a lower‑cost option for some homeowners. The commission did not vote to change the zoning classification; rather, members asked staff to return with revised language that adds the exception to section d and clarifies warranty start dates, warranty standard references and the code cross‑references.

No formal ordinance was adopted; commissioners directed staff to draft the exception language and return the updated section for further consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","05 27 2025 Planning Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners reviewed Ocean Shores Municipal Code 17.260.06 governing manufactured homes in the R6B zone, discussed skirting requirements, limits on additions for homes under 35 feet, a 20‑year warranty requirement for metallic appearing siding, and whether to retain the R6B designation that allows certain older manufactured homes.","taxTitle","Ocean Shores, Grays Harbor County, Washington","taxId",72061,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6221259,"Ocean Shores planners vote to add shipping‑container rules to accessory‑structure code",1592,619000,2211000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3614627-1c681bd18f231f1c8b105609163d31df&start=619&end=2211","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3614627-1c681bd18f231f1c8b105609163d31df/thumbnail_619000.jpg","/articles/6221259/Ocean-Shores/Grays-Harbor-County/Washington/Ocean-Shores-planners-vote-to-add-shippingcontainer-rules-to-accessorystructure-code","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6221259-df84e0b15b0d8f35e2bf4e8b8eafff6d/orig.mp4?Expires=1775879002&Signature=nzbl3XxF0MS1bOUSu5j17YY1LsmWMFJnq~3iOTHtLFqCqa9R6S7R-ICZBSdZM~zzb-Neipf2fDZvbFbiv~4Aq2rtmXAWwMoNDUDIqTsh6tTLJCrhGmofAVohw-C-gNG93tM-hKGiZdq0yRco7rsFDSY0I0gkTZAuGer2-fBfmDx3W22inq-ow~n39Vq6LoTQqBTg48nFVxKlYTy-pfT1t5BtqJzkeilNg38aSzJLuJOMOKjm0TL2DrxNp1UCZdl03QbrmdCObqdq2BuCv2sbI9qJKmgDM8oHNfbki-MiLRDKZ3yh9rnS0rcohNusHsfLe5ljcHQFF1uufI6RsfVUVg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Ocean Shores Planning Commission voted May 27 to add a reference to intermodal shipping containers (\"conex\") into the city's accessory‑structure code and to direct staff to include related definitions in the 17.50.110 code section for transmittal to council.

Marshall, community development staff, explained the commission needed consistent, cross‑referenced definitions so \"people know exactly what we're talking about, and they're not relying on me to interpret what this means in relation or tying that to the definition, in the title 17.\" He recommended using a definition phrased \"intermodal shipping containers / conex: a 6‑sided steel unit originally constructed as a general cargo container used for the transit of goods and materials,\" and referencing the accessory‑structure definition (17.04.010) to clarify temporary accessory‑structure status.

Commissioners expressed concern about conex units left on lots long after construction ends. One commissioner said the city had seen examples where containers remained \"long after construction was done,\" and noted the existing accessory‑structure paragraph allows temporary structures only \"for so long as such permit is in effect.\" Commissioners discussed whether to tie container allowances strictly to active building permits and to use the certificate‑of‑occupancy process to require removal after construction finishes.

The commission agreed to insert specific exceptions prohibiting intermodal shipping containers from being treated as permanent non‑accessory structures in residential zones and to place the definitive language in 17.50.110 so it would \"marry with the definitions\" the commission is preparing. The motion to put the language into 17.50.110 and send it forward was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

During public comment, James (a member of the public) asked the commission to consider limited exceptions for homeowners in extenuating circumstances — for example, when an owner is awaiting insurance payouts after a loss and must keep belongings in on‑site storage pods. Marshall noted such cases could be handled through the city's variance process but warned that a variance requires fees and a public hearing; commissioners discussed whether code language could provide an administrative pathway for documented emergency extensions.

The commission directed staff to draft the accessory‑structure amendment language, include the intermodal definition, add an exception to explicitly prohibit permanent conex in specified residential contexts, and return the revised text for further consideration.","The Planning Commission voted May 27 to insert intermodal shipping‑container language into the accessory‑structure section of the municipal code (to be codified at 17.50.110) and to add exceptions that would generally restrict permanent conex placement in residential zones.

Marshall, community development staff, told commissioners the amendments were intended to reduce enforcement burdens created by the large number of small accessory structures across the city that already have exposed‑fastener metal roofs. \"I had to do 1 of 2 things, either modify the code to allow those, with, you know, with this body's input and recommendation, or I needed to gear up code enforcement and start telling people to get rid of the roofs with exposed metal fasteners. And we opted for the first, which was to modify the code,\" Marshall said.

The changes adopted by the commission for transmittal to council would:

- Allow exposed‑fastener, ribbed or architectural metal roofing on accessory and certain non‑accessory structures of 200 square feet or less; roofs on structures larger than 200 square feet would remain not permitted under the amended language the commission approved earlier this year.

- Require that metal roofing fasteners be designed for metal roofing, match the roof color and be installed with uniform manufacturer‑recommended spacing.

- Permit architectural metal siding only as an accent on up to 50% of any wall (not as the primary siding material) on primary structures and detached garages over 200 square feet; for small outbuildings and permitted accessory structures specific, less‑restrictive allowances apply.

- Allow up to 4 feet of the upper wall on gazebos, canopies and awnings to be enclosed with architectural or ribbed metal siding with exposed fasteners.

- Require that metal siding, roofing and fasteners approved for use carry a manufacturer's guarantee of at least 20 years, consistent with the city's referenced code section.

Marshall summarized the local context for the changes: many unpermitted accessory structures are installed without inspection and commonly use exposed‑fastener metal roofing. The commission concluded that revising the code to allow certain small roofs and set minimum product guarantees was preferable to substantially increasing enforcement activity.

Commissioners discussed the specific provisions and voted to forward the package to council. The motion to \"approve this and send to counsel as written\" passed with the vote recorded as \"Aye.\"

The proposal will next be reviewed by city council, which the commission expects will consider the related definition changes the commission is preparing for shipping containers and related accessory‑structure language.","The Ocean Shores Planning Commission voted May 27 to send proposed amendments on metal roofing and siding to city council. The changes allow exposed‑fastener metal roofing on accessory structures up to 200 square feet, limit metal siding as an accent, and require a minimum 20‑year manufacturer guarantee for approved metal products.","actionData","errors"]
