Committee forwards rezoning to allow duplexes at 5101–5115 North Milwaukee Street
Summary
City planning staff recommended approval and the committee advanced a rezoning to change two parcels from single‑unit ESUD to a two‑unit district, enabling duplex or tandem housing in Elyria‑Swansea; Planning Board unanimously recommended approval.
Joe Green presented a rezoning request for two adjacent parcels at 5101–5115 North Milwaukee Street in the Elyria‑Swansea neighborhood (Council District 9). Combined the parcels total roughly 12,000 square feet; each lot is slightly over 6,000 square feet. The proposal would change zoning from ESUD (single‑unit district, urban edge context) to a two‑unit district in an urban neighborhood context, enabling duplex or tandem house development on minimum 5,500‑square‑foot lots. Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval and CPD recommended moving it to full council, citing consistency with Comprehensive Plan 2040 and neighborhood plan guidance that allows duplexes in some locations.
