Henderson advances tiny-home definition change on first reading; 4–1 vote

Building Official Brent Beshires told the board the amendment responds to a prior request to lower the minimum square footage for homes not on tiny-home lots. The building code defines a tiny home at a minimum of 400 square feet while the city's prior definition had been under 800 square feet; the amendment would allow tiny homes in R3 and RCT zones and could permit units as small as 200 square feet with occupant restrictions.
