Commission reviews UDO change limiting manufactured homes to AG zoning on 5+ acre lots
Summary
Commissioners reviewed a proposed text amendment to allow manufactured/mobile homes only in agricultural (AG) zoning on lots of 5 acres or more and to require board-of-commissioners approval for such placements; staff said the restriction was intended in 2018 language but did not carry into a prior draft.
Staff presented a proposed amendment to the unified development ordinance that would limit manufactured/mobile-home placements to agricultural zoning on lots of 5 acres or more and require approval by the Board of Commissioners.
Commission members probed past practice, asking when manufactured homes had been permitted in residential zoning and how the change would affect existing placement procedures. Staff said the 5-acre/AG limitation had been in the 2018 draft language but did not carry through a previous edit; the change would require that placements of manufactured homes come before both the Board of Zoning Appeals/Planning Commission and the Board of Commissioners for final approval. A commissioner observed the change means sites smaller than five acres would generally not be permitted and there would be no variance process under the proposed text.
Staff indicated the amendment will return to the commission and to the Board of Commissioners for final action.
