Council discusses tiny‑home and container housing options, asks staff to refer to planning commission
Summary
Councilors discussed tiny homes and container housing as potential affordable‑housing options, noted some local houses are already on piers, and asked staff to send the issue to planning and zoning for specifications and code compliance review.
Councilors raised tiny homes and container housing as a possible path to more affordable housing in Linn Valley and agreed no decision should be made until P&Z reviews code implications.
The building official explained that some modular and converted units in the area already sit on piers and that any shipped container or modular product would need a full spec sheet showing compliance with the adopted code. "We have homes that are here on piers already," the building official said, and councilors asked staff to refer any draft standards to the planning and zoning commission for more detailed review.
Councilors agreed to invite potential vendors or presentations to a future meeting and to reserve further action until P&Z provides recommendations.
