People living in New Iberia are now free to set up a modular home anywhere in the city limits.

Tuesday night City Council revised the rule that limited modular homes to mobile home parks.

The council decided modular homes are more permanent than mobile homes.

They also fit lots typically left behind after the city’s new demolition program tears down out of code buildings.

The New Iberia City Council apparently liked what it saw while visiting a modular home building facility earlier this month in St. Martinville.

During Tuesday’s council meeting, an ordinance will be discussed that would make modular homes an acceptable type of structure to put in existing neighborhoods.

The approval of these type of homes comes on the heels of a zoning ordinance that made mobile homes unacceptable outside of a mobile home park. Those living in mobile homes currently outside of a park, but still in the city lúimits, are grandfathered into a clause of the restriction.

The pending ordinance up for vote Tuesday would add a definition of “modular home” to the city’s code of ordinances that also details the need for that home to be built with the characteristics of the neighborhood to which it is being added.

Harrison County planning commissioners on Thursday, cognizant of a drastic oversight by the zoning department, approved the construction of a modular unit inside an established subdivision of brick- and wood-built homes.

Modular units are not allowed inside the Deerwood subdivision off Firetower Road, a few miles north of Interstate 10. But the builder failed to acknowledge to county officials that it was a modular home, and the zoning department failed to see the fine print saying it was a modular home.

County officials said the planned modular unit bears a striking resemblance to those that are stick-built. Hancock Bank appraised it for $299,000.
