Agenda Modifications Agenda modification included the addition of Resolution No. 4130 under Item V111.B.1 of these minutes. 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.
