La Paz County planning panel to hear Ehrenberg rezoning request for manufactured home

La Paz County planners will hear a request to rezone 48366 Ehrenberg Rd. in Ehrenberg for a manufactured home when the Planning and Zoning Commission meets at 4 p.m. Aug. 6 in Parker. The item, Docket No. Z2026-10, concerns APN 302-47-027X in District 3 and could advance to the Board of Supervisors for a public hearing on Sept. 7 at 10 a.m. if the commission recommends approval.

Jay and Amanda Tucker are asking to change the parcel from Residential, Low-Density, Single-Family Site Built Dwelling and Local Commercial to Suburban Ranch. In county zoning terms, that would move the property away from a mixed low-density residential and local commercial classification and toward a district that is treated more like a rural homestead than a blended neighborhood and business site. For Ehrenberg, where older land-use patterns meet newer housing demand along the river corridor, that kind of shift can shape what gets built on one parcel and what neighboring owners may expect next.

The commission’s agenda sets out a straightforward hearing sequence: approval of July 2 minutes, public comment, then the Tucker request. County rules make clear why the hearing matters. The Planning and Zoning Commission is the body that makes recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on rezoning applications, zoning ordinance amendments, master plans and comprehensive plans, and District 3 commissioners listed by the county are Devona Saiter, Marvin Haught and Doyle Thompson III.

Even if the rezoning wins support, it would not be the final approval. La Paz County requires a placement permit before any manufactured home, park model, container or RV can be placed on a privately owned parcel, and the county says those projects must comply with zoning, floodplain and building code rules. Manufactured-home placement also has to satisfy water and wastewater, access, fire code and Arizona Department of Manufactured Housing requirements. The county bars homes manufactured before June 15, 1976, and the placement permit fee rose from $650 to $700 on Aug. 5, 2025.

The public notice gives planners the parcel, the owners, the zoning change and the intended use, but it does not say whether the site already has utility capacity, road access or other site conditions needed for approval. Those are the questions that will sit behind the August hearing, along with the concerns nearby residents often raise in rezoning cases about traffic, utility demand, property values and neighborhood character. Residents can still weigh in at the Aug. 6 hearing before the item moves any farther through county government.
