Tiny home parks authorized for R‑4 district; mobile tiny homes treated like RVs

Apr 30, 2026

The proposed amendments allow tiny home parks as an allowable use in R‑4 and add design guidelines; the packet also clarifies tiny homes under 400 sq ft and says tiny homes on wheels are not allowed as primary homes in residential zones.

The full story

The proposed zoning changes would permit Tiny Home Parks as an allowable use in R‑4 residential districts and add design and supplemental regulations (Section 18.100.290). The packet defines a "tiny home" as a permanently installed dwelling under 400 square feet and distinguishes "tiny homes on wheels" as mobile units that function like recreational vehicles; those mobile units would not be allowed as primary homes in residential zones and would instead be required to park in RV parks.
