The city’s land development code defines and regulates chassis-mounted and foundation-attached tiny houses as a distinct type of dwelling. It defines “tiny house,” “tiny house on wheels,” and “pocket neighborhood,” and provides standards for each (§70.90, Ordinance No. 1681-2015). Tiny houses are only permitted in pocket neighborhoods, and only one-quarter of tiny houses in a pocket neighborhood can be chassis-mounted. 

General tiny house standards address unit and room size, ceiling height, and width. Standards for chassis-mounted tiny houses address registration with the department of motor vehicles, ability to be towed, compatibility with size limits for vehicles, unit size, functional areas, and documentation.
