Manufactured home park flexibility
Summary
Mobile home parks built between 1971 and 2026 can now use the same flexible development standards as older parks, cutting minimum lot sizes for existing parks to 2,500 sq ft and unblocking the Cedar Falls expansion. Beck flagged concerns about density and reduced recreation space but voted yes.
