Tiny Houses and Micro-Apartments

The city adopted an ordinance defining and regulating tiny houses on foundations as a distinct type of dwelling. Its definition for “tiny houses” includes all residences with less than 900 ft² of living space. Tiny houses are permitted in multiple residential subdivisions subject to the issuance of a zoning variance. Variance criteria address foundation requirements, driveways, skirting for manufactured homes, utility connections, compliance with local structural standards, and inspection.
