Plan Commission recommends rezoning of 703 19th Street to two-family residential
Summary
The Monroe Plan Commission voted unanimously to recommend rezoning 703 19th Street from light-industrial to TR-10 two-family residential at the applicant's request. Staff said the existing building would remain a legal nonconforming structure; the matter moves to the Common Council for final action.
The Monroe Plan Commission voted to recommend rezoning 703 19th Street from light-industrial to TR-10 two-family residential, forwarding the proposal to the Common Council for final consideration.
Applicant Matthew Henke told the commission he acquired the property after his business closed and intends to make it a residence. "I bought or received the property when we closed our doors at DH Builders," he said, explaining the request is intended to match the property’s actual residential use.
Sonia, the city planner, summarized staff findings and recommended approval. She said the property is surrounded by a mix of zoning districts but that TR-10 properties sit directly to the south, creating a logical pattern for the requested rezone. She noted that because the structure already exists, it would continue as a legal nonconforming structure under the TR-10 standards.
A commissioner moved to approve the rezoning at the planning-commission level; after no substantive discussion, the commission voted in favor and the clerk recorded the motion as passed. The commission's recommendation will be returned to the Common Council for ordinance-level action and legal description review prior to final approval.
The commission gave a unanimous recommendation at the planning stage and asked the applicant to provide the legal description and deed copy ahead of the council agenda packet.
