Committee Vote Rejects Housing Restriction Plan
The Common Council Committee-of-The-Whole rejected Alderman Ferdinand Sontag’s plan to bar pre 1938 homes from converting to tri plexes or fourplexes in residential zones and to limit single family homes to two unrelated renters. The vote, pending full council confirmation, drew opposition from landlords and student advocates who warned higher rents and fewer options. Arguments cited nonconforming uses and potential loss of student housing, while Sontag defended protecting single family neighborhoods. In other action, the committee referred Marie Sargent’s request for commercial zoning at 1017 S 20th St to allow a home cake decorating supply business.
