Council approves three special-use zoning changes to allow first-floor apartments downtown
Summary
Ordinance Nos. 2026-01-02, 2026-01-03 and 2026-01-04 were approved to permit first-floor apartments at 207 W. Market, 120 W. Market and 102 E. Market respectively, each recorded as passing on Jan. 13, 2026.
Mount Carroll council on Jan. 13 approved three separate ordinances—2026-01-02, 2026-01-03 and 2026-01-04—each amending the zoning map to permit a first-floor apartment as a special use in the C2 Downtown Commerce District at downtown addresses. The motions were moved and seconded as recorded; the minutes show the council voted to carry each ordinance (roll calls recorded as unanimous where noted).
The approvals apply to: 207 W. Market Street (parcel #05-08-01-401-002), owned by Chris Rogers and Grant Bandemer; 120 W. Market Street (parcel #05-08-01-401-030), owned by Kenneth Borgmann and managed by Jacquelyn Borgmann; and 102 E. Market Street (parcel #05-08-01-401-014), owned by Roderick J. Bess and Jill A. Bess as trustees. The minutes do not list specific permit conditions or implementation steps; those details are 'not specified' in the record and would be available from the city clerk or planning department.
