Agenda Item Text:
Discussion and possible direction regarding amending County Zoning Regulations to remove the Rural Residential Owner-Builder Amendment, otherwise known as Opt Out.
Background:
In 2016, 1/3 of the permits issued for site built homes in the County were Opt-Out homes (27 out of 79). County staff almost always identifies safety issues when reviewing plans or doing on-site inspections, even in homes that are being built by licensed contractors. Discontinuing this program will help assure current and new residents that homes being built in Cochise County are safe for habitation.
