*Zoning: The property is zoned RL-5 (Rural Living-minimum of 5 acres) - The RL (Rural Living) land use zoning district provides sites for rural residential uses, incidental agricultural uses, and similar and compatible uses.
**Permitted Uses: For Residential uses - Single Family Residence, Modular Home, Tiny House, and Manufactured Homes (over 10 yrs will require a Compatibility Determination prior to submitting a building permit.)
>Mobile home, manufactured home may be potentially permitted on vacant land as the single-family residence, provided it meets all development standards, setback requirements, and is installed on a permanent foundation. Building and Safety does not consider structures on wheels to be livable; therefore, a Tiny Home or mobile home must be installed on a permanent foundation. However, Building and Safety may evaluate whether a wheeled structure can be converted to a permanent foundation, as permits cannot be issued for structures on wheels—such as fifth wheels, RVs, or travel trailers.
