Commission backs limited allowance of single-family homes in CMU district with restrictions
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a CMU text amendment allowing single-family detached homes in the mixed-use district provided they do not front on Bissonnette and meet dimensional standards similar to R-6.
The commission recommended council approval of a text amendment to the CMU (mixed-use) district that would allow single-family detached residences in the CMU, subject to two constraints: homes cannot front on Bissonnette and any detached single-family development must meet dimensional and development standards similar to the R-6 district.
Staff said council asked the item be returned to P&Z after prior hearings; the purpose of the change is to increase flexibility so redevelopment can consider patio-home or similar forms that do not face Bissonnette directly. Staff cited a past example where a medical office fronted on Bissonnette with patio homes behind it as a precedent. Commissioners recommended approval with the stated restrictions, and the item will move to council as P&Z’s advisory recommendation.
