Commission votes to eliminate SR‑3 and SR‑4 zoning districts; amendment forwarded to council
Summary
After a brief presentation, the planning commission moved, seconded and unanimously approved a recommendation to the common council to delete SR‑3 and SR‑4 zoning districts (defaulting to SR‑5); the motion passed by roll call with seven aye votes.
Planning staff asked the commission to recommend deleting the SR‑3 and SR‑4 single‑family residential zone districts and allowing those parcels to default to SR‑5 to align lot sizes with market demand.
A commissioner moved the recommendation and it was seconded. The clerk then called the roll; the record shows the motion passed unanimously with the following votes recorded by roll call: Mayor Douglas — aye; Alder Schafer — aye; Ron Spielman — aye; Dave Wharton Wyler — aye; Bill Benske — aye; Louis (transcribed) — aye; Ben Voss — aye. Chair announced the motion passes and staff will forward the drafting to the common council for public‑hearing procedures.
The action is procedural: staff and planning commission recommended the text amendment so the comprehensive plan may reflect the intended code changes; staff said the rezoning process would still require public notice and council review.
