RE: Read Before Memo: Application of the new Manufactured Housing (M-H) zone
district to vacant land
The purpose of this memo is to provide requested information regarding the proposed
Manufactured Housing (M-H) zone district and if it could be used for vacant land and new
manufactured housing development.
Bottom line
The M-H zone district could be applied to vacant land for new manufactured housing development
through a rezoning process. It is anticipated this type of rezoning action would be requested by a
property owner, rather than initiated by the City.
Background
The new M-H district was designed primarily to help preserve existing manufactured housing
communities. If the new district is adopted on second reading, staff would begin a process to
rezone properties containing existing manufactured housing communities this fall.
Separately, the M-H district could also be applied to vacant land for new manufactured housing
development. A property owner may submit a request to rezone their land in anticipation of new
manufactured housing development. In addition, the City also has two other zone districts which
permit new manufactured housing development. Due to the limited number of permitted uses
available in the proposed M-H district, staff anticipates any rezoning of vacant land would be
requested by a property owner, rather than initiated by the City.
In addition to the new M-H district, staff is also ready and interested to discuss new manufactured
housing development ideas and incentives as part of the Council Ad Hoc Housing Committee this
fall.
