Board asks RVRC to draft zoning revisions after work-session discussion on manufactured homes and RV stays
Summary
At a July 27 work session, County Manager Thomas Weaver and commissioners outlined proposed changes that would allow manufactured homes on RR lots of at least five acres and permit mobile homes in A-1 agricultural districts; the board asked the River Valley Regional Commission (RVRC) to draft ordinance language and clarifying rules for RV/camper temporary living.
During a July 27, 2026 work session, County Manager Thomas Weaver summarized proposed zoning revisions aimed at clarifying where manufactured homes, mobile homes and temporary RV/camper living are allowed.
Weaver said the proposal would allow manufactured homes on RR (rural residential) lots with a five-acre minimum and permit mobile homes in A-1 agricultural zones without the conditional-use process under some conditions. He also described limits on RV and camper living in A-1—no permanent standalone camping, and a suggested six-month maximum temporary stay with a valid building permit while a home is being built.
Commissioners supported sending the proposed changes to the River Valley Regional Commission for drafting and legal review before the UGOCCC schedules public hearings. Weaver emphasized that proposed changes aim to address long-term maintenance and infrastructure issues on small private lots and to provide clearer rules for enforcement.
Provenance: discussion and proposed language appear in the July 27 work-session minutes (SEG 014–SEG 016).
