Huachuca City packet would allow tiny home parks in R-4 and sets design rules
Summary
Proposed code changes would allow permanent tiny homes as primary dwellings only within designated tiny home parks in R-4 districts, ban tiny homes on wheels in residential zones, and add design guidelines for tiny home parks.
The town’s proposed zoning text amendments would permit Tiny Home Parks in R-4 residential districts and add a new section with design standards for those parks. The packet defines a "Tiny home" as "a small dwelling unit under 400 square feet that is permanently installed." "Tiny homes on wheels" are defined separately as mobile units and are not allowed as residential uses in town; the packet says such units must be parked in an RV park.
Dr. Jim Johnson walked through the definitions and guidelines at the April 30 public hearing. The new subsection to Section 18.50.010 would list Tiny Home Parks as an allowable use in R-4, and the added Section 18.100.290 would lay out site, spacing and design expectations for such parks. Joy Banks, a local business owner who spoke at the hearing, noted the town "made the paper when a tiny home builder moved here," and said she supports the changes. The hearing officer recommended the council move the amendments to readings; if adopted the design standards will guide any tiny home park applications.
