Presently, manufactured homes are allowed only in Agricultural, Agricultural/Residential and Residential Mobile Home Park zoning districts. This proposed change will provide an opportunity to expand the use of manufactured units in an area of the County where there continues to be a mix of single family and manufactured units in a more rural setting with larger lots.
There is a total of 2,320+ acres of BF RS land use within the Branan Field Master Plan area with 1,230+ acres located within existing subdivisions. This leaves 1,090 acres of BF RS land use not located in existing subdivisions and which may be impacted by the proposed Code change. Presently, there are 157 + acres of BF RS not within existing subdivisions which are vacant.
The proposed text change would allow manufactured dwelling units by right on parcels within the BF RS land use. To limit conflict with existing development within existing subdivision that have been developed with conventionally built single family dwellings the proposed Code change would continue to prohibit manufactured dwelling units in subdivisions within the BF RS land use.
This proposed change will help address housing costs by allowing manufactured dwellings in an area of the County where there exists a mix of single family and manufactured units in a more rural setting with larger lots.
