Myersville Planning Commission recommends Village Center minimum lot-size ordinance to Mayor and Council
Summary
The commission voted 4-0, with one absent, to recommend the draft Village Center minimum lot-size ordinance to the Mayor and Council; if adopted as modeled on R2 rules, single-family detached lots in the VC could require a minimum of 7,500 square feet.
The Myersville Planning Commission voted on Oct. 7, 2025, to recommend a draft Village Center (VC) minimum lot-size ordinance to the Mayor and Council. Commissioner Mari Beth Schmersahl moved the recommendation and Commissioner Terry Bryce seconded; the motion carried 4-0 with one member absent.
The minutes state that if the town’s Village Center minimum lot-size ordinance is made consistent with regulations in the Multi-family Residential (R2) zoning district, single-family detached dwelling units within the VC would be required to have lots of at least 7,500 square feet. The commission recorded the recommendation and formally forwarded the draft ordinance to the Mayor and Council for consideration.
Commissioners did not record extended debate in the minutes; the recorded vote was unanimous among members present. The minutes do not specify which member was absent for the vote.
Next steps: the recommendation will be considered by the Mayor and Council; if the Mayor and Council adopts the ordinance, applicants with proposals in the Village Center would need to modify lot layouts to meet the new minimums as described in the commission’s minutes.
