Commissioner Lee

stated the last CUP Wulf Ink applied, and this time it was the property owner. Who holds the CUP.

Mrs. Marshall

stated the CUP follows the property.

Mr. Osborne

stated this item is following up on the change to State Law that the County has to adopt an ordinance regarding Tiny Homes. The county had to either allow the tiny homes as an SFR, allow them as a guest home or to allow a Tiny Home RV Park. The BOCC gave direction to the Planning Dept and direct them to go with option 3 to allow them only in a RV Park. What staff did was take the Park Model RV Park standards and add Tiny Homes to that.

Commissioner Lee

asked what the DMV requirement for square footage that designates an RV.

Mr. Osborne

stated an RV has to be less than 400 sq ft to be considered an RV. A lot of the park models are 399 sq ft.

Commissioner Koenig

stated on page 3 at the bottom 8A it says park model space, should it say Park Model / Tiny Home Space?

Mr. Osborne

stated yes, they will make that change.

Commissioner Koenig

stated on the same page where it says anchored to the ground, he believes he read they can’t tie down a tiny home. He will leave it up to staff to research it, because he may be wrong.

Mr. Waggoner

stated in the NRS, it says they can’t be permanently affixed to the ground, but it can be secured to the ground by straps. It can’t be on a foundation and permanently affixed.

Commissioner Hayden

asked if tiny homes have to be separate RVs? There can’t be intermingling.

Mr. Osborne

stated no, you could have Park Models and Tiny Homes allowed and be part of the proposal and plans.

Commissioner Hayden

asked if that means a Single-Family Homeowner could not have a park model on their property.

Mr. Osborne

stated that is correct they could not do that.

Commissioner Carbone

stated they spoke about amending the version.

Commissioner Koenig

amended his motion. Seconded by Gina Meredith. Michelle Nelson, Deputy DDA asked for clarification on the amendment and what section.

Commissioner Koenig

stated it would be page 3, item #8 in blue, community water and sewer, adding a slash and Tiny Home after park model.
