Many older two-bedroom mobile homes have one bedroom meeting the required 70 square feet of floor area, but have a second bedroom with less than 70 square feet of floor area. By creating the exemption, owners or tenants would not require a variance in order to use the bedroom. The Housing Commission voted unanimously -to support this code change. This is one of two formerly proposed amendments to the Iowa City Housing Code. The other dealt with the regulation of placement of garbage storage containers and staff is continuing to explore more workable language for that provision. However, Council may go ahead and take action on this amendment. A public hearing was held on April 10, 1984, and no comments were received regarding this particu- lar amendment.
