Board recommends approval of manufactured-home zoning amendment after clarifying definitions
Summary
The board recommended approval of an amendment to the zoning ordinance clarifying modular-home language and requiring connection to public water and sewer; members reviewed Appendix C and agreed to minor edits before voting to recommend approval.
The zoning board recommended approval of an amendment to the county zoning ordinance that clarifies language governing manufactured and modular homes, including wording about where modular homes are constructed and connections to utilities.
Speaker 1 flagged two wording issues in Appendix C: the entry for "modular home dwelling" as written could be read to mean the home is constructed on-site. Speaker 6 proposed corrected phrasing — that modular homes be constructed off-site and placed on-site — and the board agreed to make that change. Speaker 1 also identified a sentence that read "should be connected to the public sewer system" and asked whether it should read "public water and sewer system;" Speaker 6 said adding water and sewer clarified the intent.
Speaker 6 told the board the draft also included amendments to mobile-home-park zoning and invited members to confirm they were comfortable retaining both sets of changes. After clarifications were accepted, a motion to recommend approval of the amendment with the minor edits suggested by "Mary Lou" was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the meeting record reports "ayes" but does not include a numerical roll-call.
Next steps: The board voted to recommend the ordinance amendment with the agreed edits. The record does not specify the county's next administrative or public-notice steps.
