Planning commission approves conditional use permit for manufactured home at 5024 E. Thirteenth St.
Summary
The Bay County Planning Commission on July 15 approved a conditional use permit to allow a manufactured home on a parcel zoned R‑1 at 5024 East Thirteenth Street in the unincorporated Springfield area after staff found the proposal consistent with land‑use rules and nearby development.
Bay County Planning Commission members voted unanimously July 15 to approve a conditional use permit allowing placement of a manufactured (mobile) home at 5024 East Thirteenth Street in the unincorporated Springfield area.
Hope Stewart, a planning staff member, told the commission the application is filed as CUP20250108 and that the R‑1 zoning district does not list manufactured homes as an allowed use. Stewart said staff found the request consistent with Chapter 12 of the Land Development Regulations and the comprehensive plan, noting a mobile home park and multiple other manufactured homes within a quarter mile of the site. “It is therefore recommended that the commission conduct a public hearing in accordance with section 12‑04 of the land development regulations, find the proposed conditional use permit consistent with comprehensive plan and land development regulations, and approve the conditional use permit based on the recommended findings,” Stewart said.
During the public participation portion, an attendee described the situation as “pretty cut and dry.” No written communications from the public were reported by staff.
A commissioner moved to approve the staff recommendation and another seconded; the commission then voted by roll call. Commissioners Christie, Daffin, Carter, Hayman and Honeycutt each answered “Yes” when their votes were called.
The approval allows the manufactured home to be placed on the R‑1 parcel; no additional conditions beyond staff recommendations were recorded in the meeting minutes. Stewart also noted that conditional use review criteria appear in Section 12‑06 of the Land Development Regulations.
The applicant did not speak during the hearing. The commission’s approval will allow the property owner to proceed with permitting steps required under county regulations.
