Council approves rezoning to allow triplex use at two La Crosse properties
Summary
The City of La Crosse commission unanimously approved an ordinance to rezone two properties to permit a triplex. Staff said the building operated as a triplex as early as 1956 and recommended approval to bring the property into compliance.
The City of La Crosse commission unanimously approved an ordinance to transfer two parcels into a special residents district so the buildings at "7 1701 Analaska Avenue" and "1509 Rublee Street" can return to use as a triplex.
A staff member told the commission the applicant seeks rezoning from a two-resident district to a three-special-residents district "to bring the building into conformance with the current layout." The staff presentation said the property had been operated as a triplex as early as 1956 and that the owner currently rents two of the three units. Staff said the property lost its legal nonconforming status when units were vacant for more than 12 months during renovations under a prior owner and recommended approval to restore compliance.
The mayor accepted a motion to approve the ordinance; the motion was made by Commissioner Cherv and seconded by Commissioner Yeager. The mayor called for the vote and stated the motion passed unanimously.
The commission record notes one supporter present and available to answer questions, identified as Adam Hoffer. The ordinance was introduced as item 11405 and discussed in relation to the city code subsections cited by staff during the presentation. The commission did not elaborate further in the provided transcript about permit steps following rezoning.
