Update on Modular Homes - Ms. Krista Hampton, Director of Planning and Development Services Councilor Herbert explained that City Council recently made ordinance changes related to modular homes. She asked if modular homes are being used to address affordable housing. Ms. Krista Hampton, Director of Planning and Development Services explained that a modular home is built in sections and assembled on site by a contractor. Modular homes are built in compliance with local codes. Manufactured homes are fabricated in a factory, placed on a chassis (underpinning), and delivered to the site. Manufactured homes are subject to Housing and Urban Development’s regulations. The revised ordinance addresses repurposed modular units. Modular homes must come directly from the factory with a certification and it has to be new. The City of Columbia cannot prohibit them, but the homes can be regulated via land use or zoning. The City of Columbia is not in violation of state law. There was a discussion about state law; the differences between modular and manufactured homes; affordability factors; aesthetics; the annexation of parcels with manufactured homes; and updating the Urban Service Area, which is City Council’s policy on annexations.

Discussion of design and materials in housing developments - Ms. Krista Hampton, Director of Planning and Development Services Councilor Herbert said we are trying to preserve the character of neighborhoods as they are being revitalized. There have been general discussions about preferred materials. The biggest issue has been with vinyl siding. Ms. Krista Hampton, Director of Planning and Development Services said there is not a policy that directs the materials used in city projects. The development corporations generally use Hardie Plank siding. There was a discussion about affordability; maintenance; developing façade standards; focusing on areas primarily consisting of brick homes; determining neighborhood interest; and partnering with homebuilders and banks on low interest mortgages to develop workforce housing. There was consensus of the committee to review a list of residential properties controlled by the City of Columbia and the development corporations along with the City of Columbia loan programs. The Planning and Development Services Department, Community Development Department, and the TN Development Corporation will discuss the minimal standards for utilizing vinyl siding while awaiting further direction on the potential neighborhoods that wish to pursue regulations. The regulations would require another overlay through the adoption of an ordinance. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 11:53 a.m. Respectfully submitted: Erika D.
