Council adopts ordinance removing detached‑garage requirement in RMF zone
Summary
On second reading the Erlanger City Council voted to amend the zoning ordinance to remove the requirement that new dwelling units in the RMF (residential multifamily) zone include a detached garage. The planning commission had recommended the change following an Oct. 2 public hearing.
The Erlanger City Council on Dec. 2 adopted an ordinance amending the city's zoning code to remove the requirement that all new dwelling units in the RMF (residential multifamily) zone include at least one detached garage.
City Attorney Jack Gatlin told council the item had gone before the Planning and Development Services (PDS) and the Kenton County planning commission and had been recommended based on testimony at the Oct. 2 public hearing. The ordinance was on its second reading when the council moved to adopt it; the mayor called a roll‑call vote and the motion carried.
Why it matters: The change removes a structural requirement for new multifamily development in the RMF zone, which may affect lot layouts and the pool of feasible multifamily designs developers consider for the city. Council members did not provide extended debate during the recorded second‑reading vote.
What happens next: The ordinance takes effect as adopted; staff will implement the amended zoning provisions in relevant permit reviews and future development proposals.
