Committee backs TR‑10 zoning text change to clarify twin‑home lot requirements
Summary
The Judiciary and Ordinance Committee voted to recommend a text amendment to the TR‑10 zoning district that clarifies minimum lot areas and adds a definition for two‑unit dwellings, including a requirement that twin homes provide at least 3,500 square feet per unit with an even split. The measure now goes to the Common Council.
At the March 23 meeting, the Judiciary and Ordinance Committee voted to forward a zoning text amendment to the Common Council that clarifies minimum lot area requirements in the TR‑10 single‑ and two‑family zoning district.
The city's administrator explained the change is intended to resolve ambiguity around twin homes and two‑unit dwellings. "So this is to kind of clean that up and clearly define that, also adding a definition, for a 2 unit dwelling, as well," the administrator said. The amendment specifies at least 3,500 square feet per unit for twin homes and calls for an even split of lot area between units.
A committee member moved to recommend the amendment; the motion was seconded and the clerk recorded affirmative votes from Aldermen McGuire, Truhart, Frankie and Visting. The committee’s passage sends the item to the Common Council for formal consideration.
