Clark County Zoning Commission

Agenda note: SUBJECT MATTER/RECOMMENDATION: In the matter of the recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners discuss whether to modify Title 30 to allow an alternative housing option in multi-family zoning districts. (For possible action):
DISCUSSION: Following introduction of the item, the Board was advised by staff that, if approved, the modification would allow manufactured homes to be constructed in multi-family zoning districts subject to criteria such as certified affordable or opportunity zone locations; and further advised that criteria would reduce the number of manufactured homes permitted within the high-density multi-family residential districts.
Commissioner Kirkpatrick expressed support for manufactured homes and expressed concern regarding the lifespan of the homes.
Commissioner Segerblom advised of exploring options similar to tiny homes that will be permanent, affordable, located within an opportunity zone, have local amenities, and experience the benefits of a neighborhood.
Staff recommended strict criteria, advised of concerns regarding a lack of amenities in close proximity to high density properties, and further advised that the manufactured homes would be certified by the State.
Discussion was held regarding the definition of manufactured homes in comparison to modular homes and tiny homes, the lifespan of a manufactured home, options for affordable housing, State inspectors, use permits, and strict criteria.
Staff was directed to investigate alternative housing options, including criteria for manufactured homes. | |
