Staff proposes taller industrial buildings; manufactured‑home rules to return at next meeting
Summary
Staff suggested increasing industrial height limits from the current 48 feet to roughly 60–65 feet to accommodate modern industrial needs, while committing to bring draft language on manufactured homes at the next meeting; commissioners asked for visuals showing neighborhood impacts.
Planning staff proposed increasing the principal-structure height allowance in the industrial district from the existing 48 feet to around 60–65 feet to better accommodate modern industrial operations. "Current is 48. It's, you know, usually 60 to 65," planning staff said when describing the change staff recommends. Commissioners responded that taller buildings may alter neighborhood character and asked staff to supply visuals showing how a 60‑ to 65‑foot building would look from surrounding properties.
On manufactured homes, staff said the topic will be returned to the commission with specific draft language. Staff and commissioners agreed to address manufactured‑home siting and standards at the next meeting so the commission can consider whether the code changes should expand where certain manufactured units are allowed.
