What: A request to rezone one parcel at 25 East Drive from residential single family 7 to residential mobile home (RMH), the first request to use the RMH district.
Where it stands: Council denied the rezoning on 2026-10-20, after staff and the Planning Board recommended denial as inconsistent with the land use plan.
Next: Done unless the applicant pursues other options.
Details
Staff said a modular home permit was issued, but a HUD-code manufactured home was delivered to the site.
Mobile homes already in the area are non-conforming; a unit damaged more than 50% could not be replaced with a mobile home.
The board voted to recommend denial, with no opposition, under the map amendment standards on consistency with the area and compatibility with existing zoning. The home had been permitted as modular but inspection found it built to HUD standards rather than the state building code. Staff said a rezoning would allow any manufactured home and could be reversed only with the owner's signature. Notices to neighbors were not yet due; the hearing was expected October 20.
