Huachuca City would allow tiny‑home parks in R‑4 and set design rules; tiny homes on wheels restricted
Summary
The proposed code would permit permanent tiny homes (under 400 sq ft) as primary dwellings only within tiny‑home parks in R‑4 districts, add design guidelines for tiny‑home parks and prohibit tiny homes on wheels as primary dwellings in residential zones outside RV parks.
The proposed amendments add a definition for "tiny home" (a permanently installed dwelling under 400 square feet) and insert tiny‑home parks as an allowable use in R‑4 residential districts. The packet also includes a new Section 18.100.290 with design guidelines for tiny‑home parks to govern site planning and standards.
The hearing officer read language clarifying that "tiny homes on wheels" (mobile units under 400 sq ft that function like recreational vehicles) are not allowed as primary dwellings in residential zones and must be parked in RV parks. Dr. Jim Johnson summarized these distinctions during the public hearing; no council action was taken at the hearing and the hearing officer recommended the full amendment package be forwarded to the Mayor and Council for readings.
