Council advances zoning text changes for R‑4 district on first reading
Summary
Council approved on first reading text-amendments to chapter 158 establishing new minimum lot-size and density rules for R-4 multiunit districts, including 21,000–25,000 sqft thresholds and a 30 dwelling-units-per-net-acre cap for higher-density sites.
Council held the first reading of an ordinance amending Glasgow’s zoning code (chapter 158) to clarify minimum-lot requirements in the R-4 district. Staff said the joint city–county planning commission unanimously approved the proposed text amendments at a July 20 public hearing and forwarded them for council consideration.
Under the proposed language, parcels with 5–10 units would require a minimum lot area of 21,000 square feet (up to 75% allowable for building and parking) with a minimum width of 100 feet. Parcels designated for more than 10 units would require a minimum lot area of 25,000 square feet, with the same 75% coverage rule and a stated maximum density of 30 dwelling units per net acre.
Mayor called for discussion after staff reading; no amendments were offered and a motion passed to place the ordinance for a second reading at the next meeting. No final adoption occurred — this was a first reading and the ordinance will return to council for the required second reading.
