Committee debates multi-family zoning language, directs staff to draft changes and seek town input
Summary
Committee members discussed revisions to multi-family zoning in Chapter 9 of the Oneida County Zoning and Shoreland Protection Ordinance, focusing on when administrative review versus conditional use permits are required. Staff were directed to draft proposed language and to send a letter to townships about duplexes; no formal action was taken.
The Oneida County Planning & Development Committee held a substantive discussion Feb. 4 on proposed changes to multi-family zoning standards and processes but took no formal action.
Planning & Zoning Director Karl Jennrich led the discussion on zoning districts and uses, referencing Chapter 9, Article 2 (Section 9.20) and Appendixes A and B of the Oneida County Zoning and Shoreland Protection Ordinance. Committee members pressed staff on how multiple units within a dwelling are classified and when an administrative review permit versus a conditional use permit is required.
Members directed staff to return to the committee with proposed ordinance language for review and consideration. The committee also instructed staff to send a letter to townships requesting input specifically regarding duplexes and related permit thresholds. The transcript records this as discussion only; no vote or motion was recorded on the zoning text itself.
Committee members and staff discussed applications and the point at which matters are referred to towns for comment. Staff will prepare draft language and outreach materials for township feedback before the committee considers formal amendments.
