Rogers City Council has rezoned land along South Dixieland Road that is intended for a proposed tiny home development.
The approval covers 4.84 acres at 1704 and 1710 S. Dixieland Road, moving the property from a district intended for agricultural and limited single-family uses to the T4.1 medium-intensity district, Jada Robison reported for the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. In the paper's account, the rezoning moves the proposal forward without finishing it.
T4.1 allows multifamily options, including duplexes, town houses and apartments. That's a wider menu than the agricultural and limited single-family rules the two parcels were under before the council acted.
Interest in tiny homes isn't new in Rogers. In September 2019, that interest was already pushing Northwest Arkansas planners to write development codes that could accommodate them, KUAF reported. The same account described an occupied tiny home in a community called Eagle Homes on Olive, near downtown Rogers.
The South Dixieland development is still a proposal. The zoning on 1704 and 1710 is not.
