Proposal would allow tiny‑home parks in R‑4 and define tiny homes under 400 sq ft

Apr 30, 2026

The proposed ordinance defines 'tiny home' as a permanent dwelling under 400 sq ft, bars tiny homes on wheels from residential zones (they must use RV parks), and would allow tiny‑home parks as an allowable use in R‑4 with design guidelines.

The full story

The packet adds a definition: "Tiny home means a small dwelling unit under 400 square feet that is permanently installed," and creates a new allowable use for tiny‑home parks in R‑4 residential districts with associated design guidelines (Section 18.100.290). The code distinguishes permanent tiny homes from "tiny homes on wheels," describing the latter as mobile units under 400 sq ft that function like recreational vehicles and stating they are not allowed as a residential use in town and must be parked in an RV park.
