Planning and zoning proposes MH-1/MH-2 districts to simplify manufactured-home approvals
Summary
Crockett planning and zoning presented a preliminary report recommending MH-1 and MH-2 zoning for existing manufactured-home subdivisions and parks so qualifying placements would be allowed by right and avoid case-by-case permits.
Crockett — City staff presented a preliminary Planning & Zoning report April 6 proposing two mobile-home zoning districts, MH-1 and MH-2, to align current mobile-home areas with by-right zoning and reduce the number of specific-use permits required.
Staff (S7) said the proposed changes would designate QuellTrail as MH-1 (multiple individually owned lots) and designate existing mobile-home parks such as Snyder RV as MH-2 (private mobile-home parks). S7 noted state statute requires at least one zoning district that allows mobile homes by right and described how the recommended map adjustments would place existing mobile-home uses into appropriate districts.
S7 explained the planning process will include required public notices and multiple hearings before coming back to council for any formal zoning changes; there was no council action sought at this meeting. Council and residents asked clarifying questions about building-code compliance for older homes and whether older manufactured units would still need to meet current building and permit standards; S7 reiterated that building permits and code compliance remain required even if zoning removes the special-permit step.
The report is informational; staff set a timeline of additional public-notice steps and hearings that could bring formal recommendations back to council on or after May 18.
