Marshfield adopts zoning changes to enable infill development on narrow lots

Mar 12, 2025

Ordinance 15-28 relaxes setbacks, lot-depth and coverage rules in SR-4 and SR-6 districts to permit rebuilding and infill on smaller residential lots, part of an effort to address a shortage of smaller, affordable housing options.

The full story

The Marshfield Common Council adopted Ordinance 15-28 at second reading on March 11, changing the municipal code for SR-4 and SR-6 residential districts to relax minimum setbacks, lot-area, lot-depth and maximum building-coverage standards. City staff said the changes will make it possible to rebuild or develop homes on narrow or “infield” lots that previously could not meet dimensional standards.
