Council amends zoning appendix to clarify mobile-home replacement rules within city limits
Summary
An ordinance passed clarifying nonconforming-use rules for replacing mobile homes within city limits, including a one-year limit to replace an older unit and a maximum age of 10 years for replacements.
The City Council approved an ordinance amending Appendix A, Section 4.2 of the zoning code concerning nonconforming uses related to replacement of mobile homes inside the city.
Council members clarified the rule applies to mobile homes in the city limits: when a unit is moved out in route, a property owner may replace it within one year (previous language allowed six months) and the replacement unit must be no older than 10 years. Council described the change as a clarification of the time window and age limit for replacements.
Council voted to adopt the ordinance after brief discussion; no public comments were made on the item at the meeting. Staff said the measure will allow limited flexibility while setting an age limit for replacements to address housing quality concerns.
