Housing is one of the most important issues with which a compre- hensive plan deals. Many of the other chapters (i.e., rural development, urbanization, energy, public facilities) also directly or indirectly affect housing. The preparation of the policies in this chapter was generally accepted throughout the planning process. Throughout the plan formulation and the update of this section, mobile/manufactured home placement continued to be an issue. The issue concerning manufactured housing is now focused on design criteria. Today, construction standards for manufactured housing meet or exceed site -built housing. The policies are as follows: 1. Manufactured housing and double -wide mobile homes that are at least seven hundred (700) square feet or larger in area shall be allowed on individual lots outside urban growth boundaries, except in the Conventional Housing (CH) overlay areas of the County. 2. Single -wide mobile homes may be allowed in designated areas of the County if they meet siting criteria in the zoning ordinance. 3. Manufactured housing shall have roof pitches and siding comparable to site -built homes. 4. In order to keep housing costs as low as possible, the application process in the Planning, Environmental Health, and Building Divisions shall be reviewed and streamlined as much as possible. 5. To enable and encourage later in -filling of large lot subdivision in urbanizing areas, any subdivision should be pre -planned for later division into smaller lots at the time of the original platting. 6. In order that the most efficient housing pattern may be obtained, the County shall encourage the in -filling of existing subdivisions before additional land division occurs. 7. Subdivision approval shall be dependent upon adequate provision of public facilities and services, which may 1 - EXHIBIT "A" 4 require phased construction of the development. To further reduce costs and provide amenities, such as open space, the clustering of housing is to be encouraged. 8. To reduce costs and to encourage variety in design, County standards shall consider a variety of housing styles and setbacks. 9. In order to reduce costs for initial construction, as well as for maintenance, new construction of low-income housing may be located in urban areas and/or rural service centers. 10. The regional housing authority should be responsible for coordinating and implementing housing assistance programs in Deschutes County. 11. There is a high need for housing rehabilitation in Deschutes County. The County shall work in conjunction with other local governments to study programs to assist in housing rehabilitation. 2 - EXHIBIT "A"
