Shelbina council to hold public hearing on rezoning north of Business 36 to allow tiny homes
Summary
The council voted to schedule a public hearing and provide statutory notice on a Planning & Zoning proposal to reclassify parcels north of Business 36 from R-1 to R-2 to permit tiny homes and to create a new mobile-home zoning classification for designated parks.
The Shelbina City Council voted Nov. 10 to schedule a public hearing on a Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation to rezone select parcels north of Business 36 from R-1 (single-family residential) to R-2 (residential) so tiny houses may be developed there.
The action, carried on a motion by Curt Hines and seconded by Chad Wharton, directs staff to publish the public-notice materials required under statute and to set a hearing date so residents can comment. The proposed R-2 district would permit tiny homes while continuing to prohibit trailers; the commission also recommended creating a separate zoning class specifically for mobile homes to be sited only within designated mobile-home parks.
Council members said the vote only advances the process to the public-hearing stage; no zoning changes were adopted at the meeting. The purpose of the hearing will be to receive input from property owners and other residents before the council considers any ordinance change. City staff must follow statutorily required notice procedures prior to the hearing.
If the council later adopts the rezoning ordinance, the reclassification would change permitted housing types for affected parcels north of Business 36 to allow tiny-home development subject to the R-2 regulations and any special-use conditions that the council may impose. Any timeline for final action will depend on the scheduling of the public hearing and any required post-hearing deliberations.
