Commission reviews UDO change to limit new manufactured homes to agricultural five-acre lots
Summary
Staff introduced a proposed change to the UDO that would permit new manufactured-home placements only in agricultural zoning with a five-acre minimum and Board approval; commissioners discussed likely public reaction and how pending applications started before the UDO effective date would be handled.
Staff presented a text amendment that would restrict new manufactured-home placements to agricultural zoning with a five-acre minimum and require approval through the county review process. Under the proposed language, existing manufactured homes could be replaced but new placements would not be permitted outside agricultural zoning with the acreage threshold; staff said the change stems from earlier UDO updates and legal discussion with the county attorney.
Commissioners discussed community reaction and legal resilience; one commissioner asked whether the change would prompt litigation, and staff noted a variety of public comments would be possible. Staff also reminded the commission that the Unified Development Ordinance went into effect August 1 and that applications filed before that date are governed by prior rules. The discussion closed with staff planning to return redlined text for additional review.
