Zoning and mobile home rules read by Ottawa commission
Ottawa city commission began adopting a new zoning code and mobile home regulations after a lengthy review. The 72 page zoning ordinance and a mobile home ordinance were given first readings and will take effect after a second reading and publication. The move expands heavy industry areas and reduces duplex zones while allowing overrides via planning commission appeals. An accompanying mobile home rule bans placement outside approved parks, sets minimum lot sizes, storage, patio, and clearance requirements, and links communities to park spaces. Gary Jordan was named temporary Ottawa Municipal Court judge to replace Judge Don White.
