Findlay considers tiny-home zoning district; committee delays final action to July
Summary
Officials introduced a proposed TH (tiny-lot residential) district allowing permanent tiny homes on 2,000-sq-ft lots with permanent foundations; the committee asked for refinements and postponed formal action to the July meeting.
The Planning & Zoning Committee reviewed a proposed TH (tiny-lot/tiny-home residential) zoning district intended to allow permanent, code-compliant tiny homes on reduced lot sizes. Staff described requirements including a 2,000-square-foot minimum lot size, a minimum of five platted lots for a development, permanent foundations and utility connections, residential-grade exterior materials, and a 15% minimum of common open space.
Staff emphasized the district is for permanent units connected to sewer and water, not transient or RV-style developments. Council members discussed examples and policy intent, including a veterans tiny-home community in Missouri as a potential model. Members suggested public input and refinements to materials and container-use language; the committee voted to postpone consideration to the July meeting so staff can incorporate suggested tweaks and public feedback.
No code amendments were adopted at this meeting; the committee will revisit the TH zoning language in July.
