Council approves variance to replace manufactured home on oversized lot
The city approved a variance on Feb. 2 allowing the existing lot size to exceed the zone's maximum so a single-family manufactured home on a foundation can replace the current one. The owner must meet current city codes, building and fire rules, and parking and setback requirements.

The application's description as it appears in City of Nampa's record. See the official record
The property owner wants to remove an old manufactured home at 426 Chicago St. in Nampa and put a new manufactured home on a permanent foundation on the same lot. The lot is larger than the 12,000 square feet the city allows in this single-family zone, so a variance is needed to build on it.
Request for variance to lot size in RS6 zone in order to replace existing manufactured home with new manufactured home on a foundation.
