Town board asks planning board to review manufactured-home standards in ETJ
Summary
Following an individual case, the town board voted 3–2 to refer consideration of manufactured-home standards in the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) to the planning board, asking the manager to draft specific charges for review and public hearing.
The town board voted to refer consideration of manufactured-home standards in the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) to the planning board and directed the town manager to draft the referral language.
Discussion began after a resident raised concerns about a recent manufactured-home purchase and whether the town’s standards remain appropriate. Staff said state law limits outright bans on manufactured homes but noted the town can create zoning standards (for example, RA-20 or RA-40 classifications) that specify lot requirements and unit standards going forward. Staff recommended referring the broader policy question to the planning board for study and a public hearing.
Commissioner 6 made a motion to refer the issue to the planning board with the manager drafting specifics. The motion carried on a 3–2 vote.
What happens next: The planning board will review the manager’s draft charge and hold the required public hearings before making a recommendation to the board.
