This item was introduced at the <br /> 29 October 5, 2022 ORC meeting and is scheduled for a BOCC public hearing in January. <br /> 30 PRESENTER: Tyler Sliger, Planner II <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Tyler Sliger presented a PowerPoint presentation and reviewed the proposed UDO amendment for efficiency units. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Adam Beeman: I don't see it there but is it in the text about requirements for septic system that it can't go if the septic <br /> 35 system is not capable. <br /> 36 <br /> 37 Tyler Sliger: That is the basic building permit. If Environmental Health is not going to sign off on it then you don't get a <br /> 38 building permit. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Adam Beeman: The only other big thing that I have is we specifically didn't allow mobile homes so why the change? I'm <br /> 41 not a fan of those. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Tyler Sliger: A lot of people are requesting mobile homes, they can't afford stick built homes and I talked to a developer <br /> 44 today that they don't make modular to 1,000 sq.ft. so people can't get affordable homes. <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Adam Beeman: The smallest trailer I found was$40.000 and it goes up to$150,000. 1 don't really see those as <br /> 47 affordable either. I find it interesting that we are going essentially put a car out in the yard and let it rot. The <br /> 48 manufactured home meets federal standards and not local regulations and guidelines. They get to supersede everybody <br /> 49 because it the federal. I don't see why we want to allow it. It's not going to be beneficial for the landlord or the tenant in <br /> 50 the long run. It's an immediate fix but long-term it is not the path that we should be going down in Orange County. <br /> 51 <br /> 52 Beth Bronson: Is there a year build requirement? <br /> 53 <br /> 54 Tyler Sliger: No. <br /> 55 <br />
