Commission briefed on new state law requiring manufactured homes be allowed by right in single‑family zones
Summary
Commissioners received an informational update on House Bill 399, which requires factory‑built manufactured homes (HUD‑coded, post‑1976) to be permitted by right in zoning districts that allow single‑family dwellings; staff will present an ordinance to align local code.
Commissioner Rebecca informed the commission about House Bill 399 and how it affects Pearson’s zoning rules. She said the law requires that off‑site constructed dwellings — including HUD‑code manufactured homes — be permitted by right in zoning districts that allow single‑family homes, but it does not apply to pre‑1976 mobile homes that predate HUD codes.
Rebecca told commissioners staff will prepare and present an ordinance to update the redevelopment code so the town’s regulations comply with state law. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about how the law applies to large parcels, parcel splitting and accessory dwelling units; staff explained that the new rule allows factory‑built homes to be permitted but that local permitting and parcel‑division requirements still apply.
