Planning Commission sets public hearing for Core Residential zoning amendment on Aug. 25
Summary
The Clawson Planning Commission voted to schedule an Aug. 25 public hearing on proposed changes to the Core Residential (CR) district, including allowing duplexes and capping building density at four units with roughly 2,750 sq ft per unit, staff said.
The Clawson Planning Commission on Tuesday voted to schedule a public hearing for Aug. 25 on proposed amendments to the Core Residential (CR) zoning district.
Staff presented an updated four‑year review of the CR district and said the draft reflects decisions from the commission's prior meeting. ‘‘In your packet, you would have received a, updated version of the core residential district, 4 year review, based on the discussion that we had at our last meeting,’’ staff member Joe Tangieri told commissioners.
Commissioners flagged several substantive changes the draft would make. One commissioner summarized the key shifts as permitting duplexes and revising density for single‑family attached units; staff said the draft limits building density to four units per building and allocates roughly 2,750 square feet of lot area per unit. ‘‘So, yeah, 4 units in a building and then 1 unit for 2,750 square feet of lot area,’’ Tangieri said.
The commission voted via roll call to set the hearing date after a brief discussion; staff will publish formal hearing notices and return the ordinance to the commission for public comment and possible amendments at the Aug. 25 meeting.
The hearing will give residents and stakeholders an opportunity to comment on the proposed use changes and density limits before the commission considers any adoption steps.
