Planning commission forwards A‑1 residential zoning amendments to council
Summary
The commission voted 5-0 (one member absent) to recommend proposed amendments to Chapter 1246 (A‑1, Residential Zone), which codify larger minimum lot sizes, setback rules and minimum floor-area provisions for lower‑density residential areas.
On Sept. 4, 2025, the City of Hart Planning Commission voted to recommend that the City Council adopt proposed amendments to Chapter 1246 (A-1, Residential Zone). The motion was made by Diane LaPorte and supported by Andrew Mullen; the vote recorded Ayes: 5, Nays: 0, Absent: 1.
The draft A-1 language presented to the commission reiterates that the A-1 district is intended for lower-density single-family dwellings and sets minimum lot area and width (single-family dwellings: 12,000 sq. ft. and 100 ft. lot width) and front/side/rear setback standards (front yard 25 feet, rear yard 25 feet, side yards as specified). The draft also specifies maximum height (35 feet) and minimum floor areas (the draft text reviewed includes one-story minimums of 400 sq. ft., and ground-floor minimums of 600 sq. ft. for two-story/split-level units, consistent with the draft A-zone changes discussed earlier).
Commissioners did not record public comment on this item in the meeting minutes. The commission's vote was a recommendation to the City Council; final adoption will be subject to Council review and any subsequent edits.
