Commission outlines limits for 3–6 unit dwellings in Village zones; 60% max lot coverage proposed
Summary
The Planning Commission agreed to allow 3–4 unit dwellings as permitted uses and 5–6 unit dwellings as conditional uses in Village 1 and 2, with proposed requirements including a 60% maximum lot coverage (40% greenspace), rear parking, and screened waste areas.
Commissioners discussed how to regulate small multi-unit buildings in the village zones. The draft approach would permit 3–4 unit dwellings as permitted uses and treat 5–6 unit dwellings as conditional uses limited to existing buildings. Members proposed additional standards for 3–6 unit dwellings: maximum lot coverage of 60% (meaning a minimum of 40% greenspace), rear parking, and screened garbage and recycling areas; an exception for existing buildings and consideration of a maximum building footprint remain under discussion.
The commission did not finalize the footprint or exception language; members agreed to revisit these requirements at a future meeting as they continue redrafting the zoning regulations.
