Summary

ZT2026‑0003 would add Manufactured Home A and B to the city's summary‑of‑uses matrix so qualifying manufactured homes are permitted where detached single‑family dwellings are allowed; the commission recommended approval 8–0 and forwarded the measure to City Council.

Staff explained that ZT2026‑0003 updates Article 4 (summary of uses by district) to add uses for Manufactured Home A and Manufactured Home B, aligning the summary matrix with the definitions in ZT2026‑0002 and the Code of Virginia. The amendment would list Manufactured Home A and B in the districts where detached single‑family dwellings are permitted and in some office and low‑density multifamily districts as required by state code.

No members of the public were present for this item. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the scope of districts where the use would be allowed and staff confirmed the amendment follows the state mandate. The commission voted unanimously to recommend adoption to City Council; staff said the council hearing will occur on Sept. 22, 2026.
