Council approves zoning code repeal removing two single‑family districts
Summary
Council unanimously approved an ordinance to repeal and recreate multiple zoning sections, deleting SR‑3 and SR‑4 single‑family residential districts as recommended by the planning commission; discussion emphasized simplifying residential zoning and potential future changes.
The Common Council voted unanimously to repeal and replace multiple sections of the Monroe zoning code, removing SR‑3 and SR‑4 single‑family residential districts as part of a planning commission recommendation.
Council members said the change is intended to simplify residential zoning and reduce the need for individual rezoning requests. "It rolls the SR into the DR zoning district to where you could do either a single family or a duplex anywhere," a planning‑commission speaker said during discussion. Councilors asked staff to explore how the change might affect parking, lot‑size limitations and neighborhood covenants.
The ordinance passed on a unanimous roll call after brief discussion. Staff indicated additional planning commission work is expected to address multifamily and density considerations in coming months.
