Zoning Change For Duplexes Sought By City Council
The council introduces a zoning ordinance to allow duplexing of single family homes turning them into up to four apartments to address a unit shortage. The northwest corner of 14th and Main faces a five unit plan approved 18 to three. A committee investigates Avalon ballroom management, and a triple decking plan for Market Square parking proposes bond financing repaid via rents and fees in 20 years. The county cedes courthouse square parking to municipal control to curb all day parking, while land transfers and auditor contracts are decided and new street, pumping, and water projects move forward.
