Committee favors 30-year threshold for manufactured homes in draft code
Summary
Committee members backed revising the draft to treat manufactured homes up to 30 years old as acceptable in most cases, aiming to avoid displacing long-standing residents; staff said the change addresses local housing realities.
The committee discussed language about manufactured homes in the draft code, including the age threshold that determines whether an existing home must be replaced. The staff member proposed changing the figure to 30 years so that many older single manufactured homes that are not in parks would remain allowable rather than be disqualified by a shorter threshold.
Members said the 30-year threshold better reflects the county's housing stock and would avoid forcing longtime residents to replace or relocate. The committee did not record a formal vote on the specific numeric change in the transcript but directed staff to incorporate the clarified language into the draft before sending it to the planning commission and council.
