Issue Detail: The City's 2021-2029 Housing Element outlines an eight-year strategy to support housing production at all income levels and meet the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation of 45,580 housing units by 2029. As part of this effort, Housing Element Program H23 directs the City to consider amendments to the Planning and Development Code to allow moveable tiny homes as accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Within the tiny home industry, a tiny house is generally referred to as a "moveable tiny house", "tiny house", or "tiny house on wheels". To avoid conflation with other commonly used building code terminology, these units will be referred to as Cottages on Wheels (COWs). The Cottages on Wheels initiative will establish a local ordinance and review process to permit moveable Cottages on Wheels as accessory dwellings to primary residential uses only.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide the Commission and the public an opportunity to comment on the preliminary draft framework for regulating Cottages on Wheels as well as discuss key policy and program considerations.
