Council discussed clarifying the manufactured-home ordinance (O-2024-08-005) and granted relief for a resident at 337 Howell whose manufactured home did not meet the 5,000-square-foot lot requirement; council then authorized an executive session for property deliberations and attorney consultation.
Council considered clarifying the manufactured-home ordinance O-2024-08-005 to provide relief for a resident at 337 Howell who purchased a manufactured home that fell short of the 5,000-square-foot lot requirement. A council member noted the ordinance language was not clear at the time it passed and asked staff to prepare a subparagraph to clarify procedures and eligibility for relief; the council agreed to grant relief to allow the home to be placed on the lot and to amend the ordinance accordingly.
Following the decision to grant relief, the council authorized convening an executive session under Texas Government Code sections 551.072 and 551.071 to deliberate real property matters and consult with counsel. Clerk recorded the motions and votes; staff indicated that site-planning and subdivision requirements from Fort Bend County remain applicable and would be handled as part of the permitting process.
