County to permit manufactured homes where site-built housing is allowed, staff says
Summary
Staff proposed changing the county's permitted-use table to treat manufactured homes as a by-right use wherever site-built housing is permitted, implementing HB655 and its companion Senate bill; staff would add use-specific standards such as an occupancy permit and a maximum model age of five years.
Austin Gastro, principal planner with zoning administration, described the manufactured-homes provision staff will add to the zoning ordinance to comply with the state bill.
"This bill requires that a locality allow for manufactured homes as a by right permitted use," Gastro said, and staff proposes revising the permitted-use table so manufactured homes are allowed in residential zoning districts and plan districts where site-built houses are permitted. Gastro noted staff would also add use-specific standards, including requiring an occupancy permit and limiting model age to no more than five years.
The change would prevent the county from treating manufactured homes more restrictively than site-built homes on the same property, Gastro said. Staff intends to include the proposed text in the draft ordinance and will present the full staff report at authorization in August.
