Committee clears rezoning to allow ADU and third unit at George/Livingston property
Summary
The committee approved rezoning to permit a duplex and an accessory dwelling unit at 1931 George Street and 1126 Livingston Street. The applicant said the deed will include an owner-occupancy restriction requiring that one of the property's units be owner-occupied for the life of the restriction.
The La Crosse Judiciary Administration Committee on Dec. 2 approved ordinance 25-1325 to rezone properties at 1931 George Street and 1126 Livingston Street to allow a duplex and an accessory dwelling unit (ADU).
Council President Dickinson invited the applicant to explain the proposal. The applicant, Elijah, told the committee he purchased the duplex about a year ago and intends to add a third unit under the city's owner-occupancy ADU rules. He described the deed restriction process: the deed must include language requiring that the property owner live in one of the units on the parcel for the life of the restriction.
Elijah said he had discussed implementation details with city staff (named Tim and Andy in the discussion) and described the new unit as adding housing while meeting owner-occupancy requirements. City Plan Commission had unanimously approved the rezoning and staff recommended adoption. The committee voted to approve the rezoning; the item will appear on the council consent agenda.
The applicant’s explanation and staff recommendation framed the committee’s vote; the record shows the committee’s action was to approve the rezoning and forward it to the council for final action.
