Proposal

Private Amendment Request submitted by East Harbor Hills, LLC to amend Blaine Municipal Code Chapter 17.68 – Planned Unit Developments (PUD) to allow manufactured home parks and manufactured homes as an allowed use within a PUD in the Planned Residential zone.

Background

The Residential PUD Standards (BMC 17.68.120) exclude manufactured home parks and manufactured homes as a housing type within a PUD. This means that even though manufactured homes and home parks are allowed within the Planned Residential (PR) zone (BMC 17.42.020), this same housing type is specifically prohibited as an option within a PUD. The applicant has submitted a zoning text amendment request to modify the Residential PUD Standards so that they better aligned with the PR permitted uses.
