Mayor introduces tiny-home request; council agrees to pursue an ordinance
Summary
A prospective resident requested permission to bring a tiny home to Sulphur Springs; the city attorney recommended creating a tiny-home ordinance and the council agreed to pursue drafting one.
During the Mayor’s Report, Mayor Michael Driver introduced Louis Bell, who told the council she "is interested in moving to the town but wants to bring her tiny home with her and place it on a property that she will purchase if she is permitted to place the tiny home." After discussion, Attorney Paul Gregory recommended the council create an ordinance regarding tiny homes before making any final decisions; the council agreed to pursue that ordinance.
The exchange did not include a formal motion or vote to adopt an ordinance; the transcript records the attorney’s recommendation and the council’s concurrence. Staff and the city attorney will need to draft the ordinance language and return it to council for formal consideration and possible public hearing.
