Planning commission recommends lowering MU front setback from 20 to 15 feet
Summary
The commission voted to recommend that council amend Table 54.69 to change the MU district front setback minimum from 20 feet to 15 feet to align with R‑1 setbacks; commissioners said consistency will help buildability on small M‑1 lots.
The Planning Commission voted to recommend that the village council amend the dimensional standards for the MU district (Table 54.69) so that the minimum front setback for M‑1 lots changes from 20 feet to 15 feet.
Chair and staff summarized prior discussions; commissioners argued that standardizing setbacks with R‑1 (15 feet) would help smaller M‑1 parcels and avoid variable percentage calculations previously debated. Staff said the fire department had no objection. The motion to recommend the change to council passed unanimously by roll call.
The recommendation will be forwarded to the council for possible ordinance amendments and public hearings at the council level.
