Background Information:
On December 7, 2021 City Council approved the Casata Development Agreement via Resolution 2021-244 which authorized up to 250 residential units. As currently contemplated, the development is comprised of 246 residential units which includes 36 townhomes at a minimum size of 1,100 sf and 210 micro homes on permanent foundations ranging from 380-1,100 sf. On February 21, 2023, City Council annexed the property via Ordinance 2023-17 and approved Character District 4 via Ordinance 2023-18 and the Manufactured Home District via Ordinance 2023-19, with the former serving as the underlying zoning for the townhouses and the latter serving as the underlying zoning for the micro homes.
This application is seeking an amendment to the Development Agreement to authorize microhome construction in accordance with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, which would be in addition to the International Residential Code (IRC) that is currently authorized by the Development Agreement.
As provided by the applicant, the cost of HUD construction standards is less than the cost of IRC construction standards. This will result in lower rents. The applicant indicates the desire to include both products in the area zoned Manufactured Housing.
Council Committee, Board/Commission Action:
A council Committee was appointed when this development agreement was initially proposed and consists of Mayor Hughson and Councilmembers Scott & Mendoza.
