Proposed code would allow permanent tiny‑home parks in R‑4; mobile tiny homes still restricted
Summary
The packet defines tiny homes (permanently installed under 400 sq ft), allows tiny home parks as an R‑4 use and clarifies tiny homes on wheels (mobile units under 400 sq ft) are not allowed as residential uses in town and must be parked in RV parks.
The proposed zoning‑code amendments include a definition of "tiny home" as a permanently installed dwelling unit under 400 square feet and add tiny home parks as an allowable use in R‑4 residential districts with accompanying design guidelines (new Section 18.100.290). At the same time the packet states that "tiny homes on wheels"—mobile units under 400 square feet—are not permitted as a residential use in any residential zone and must be parked in an RV park.
The hearing officer summarized the packet and said the town has already seen tiny‑home activity; Joy Banks noted that a tiny home builder previously made news in the town. The packet spells out site and installation standards across several pages of guidelines; the hearing officer recommended the Council consider the amendments at its upcoming readings.
