II. CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE
A. Public Hearings
1. Used Manufactured Homes Moratorium
City Council to conduct a public hearing on the moratorium
established December 18, 2006 by Resolution No. 4128 on
the filing with the City of applications for licenses, permits
and approvals for the siting, placement or installation of
used manufactured homes within the City of Auburn, other
than in mobile home parks.
Planning, Building and Community Director Michael Davolio
reported that Senate Bill 6593, which passed in 2004,
requires cities and counties to regulate most manufactured
homes no differently than they regulate other types of
homes. Generally, it has not created any problems in the
Auburn area and the City has been much more liberal in its
regulations regarding used manufactured homes.
Director Davolio explained that most communities place
limitations on the age of the unit or restrict allowable
locations for placement of used manufactured homes.
Recently, staff encountered situations which involved
proposed placement of manufactured homes within existing
neighborhoods in a manner that would have resulted in
detraction in the value of existing homes in that area. For
that reason, staff requested and Council adopted a
resolution on December 18, 2006 to establish a moratorium
on the placement of used manufactured homes. Staff
intends to present proposals in the near future regarding
how manufactured homes should be considered for
placement within the city of Auburn. The moratorium is an
appropriate measure to ensure stability regarding placement
of used manufactured homes within the City of Auburn.
