Manufactured Home Zoning

Good article in the Beacon about the issues facing the Carriage Club Estates homeowners. They are in a Manufactured Home Zone inside the county now, and would be in multi-family zoning if they were annexed into the City. Information about the County zone is available here.
I think the zoning is a good solution for homeowners, was created through negotiations with both homeowners and landowners, and fills a need for affordable, detached single-family and senior housing. I'm hopeful that the City can pursue a similar option. There's a sort of awkwardly placed quote in the Beacon article... I'll just add here that "I'm totally on board" with creating a similar zone in Mukilteo and finding solutions for the homeowners in the annexation area!
