Area Development Trends:
Area properties to the north, south and east are occupied by traditional single-family
homes and a manufactured home. Property to the west is currently vacant and approved
for subdivision development consisting of single-family attached and detached units
(Winchester Forest). It is anticipated that residential development will continue in this
area, as recommended by the Plan.
Zoning and Permit History:
A manufactured home has been located on the subject property since 1977 (Case
77SN0162). Approval for this manufactured home was subsequently renewed in 1979,
1984, 1989, 1997, 2004 and 2011.
The Board of Supervisors approved the renewal of the manufactured home permit (Case
12SN0142) in 2011, for two (2) years to permit the applicant time to sell the property.
It was noted at that time that the applicant, who had relocated his residency due to
marriage, was the owner but not the occupant of the manufactured home. The new owner
would like the ability to continue to keep the manufactured home on the property.
Proposal:
The applicant is seeking manufactured home permit approval for seven (7) years and
would be the owner and occupant of the structure. (Condition 1)
Additional living spaces have been added to the front and rear of the manufactured home.
Information on file indicates these building permits were issued in 1980 and 1982 prior to
the imposition of the standard conditions that restrict such additions, beginning in 1984.
Condition 2 has been modified accordingly.
CONCLUSION
The temporary manufactured home is in keeping with development in the surrounding area, that
being a mix of traditional single-family dwellings and temporary manufactured homes. While
this is a new applicant, a manufactured home has been located on the property by previous
owners since 1977, with no apparent adverse impact on the area.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
