Commission approves variance allowing second principal use for Holcomb family to place mobile home
Summary
A variance was approved allowing a second principal use (a single‑wide mobile home) on a sub‑2‑acre lot so family members can have additional housing; applicants said the mobile home would house grandchildren and help with local affordable housing needs.
The commission approved a variance request to allow a second principal use on a property under two acres so the Holcomb family can site a single‑wide mobile home behind their house for family housing.
Arlyn Holcomb spoke for the applicant, explaining the need for a small additional dwelling to house grandchildren in a region with tight housing availability. "We wanna put a mobile home, a single wide mobile home behind our house to ... for grandkids to live in," the applicant said, citing affordability pressures and the family’s plan to place the structure well to the rear of the lot.
Staff recommended approval, noting surrounding land uses and acreage should prevent adverse impacts. No opposition speakers appeared; commissioners moved and seconded approval and the motion carried. The approval allows the applicant to pursue necessary permits subject to county permit processes.
