4) Discussion re: Zoning concerning Four to Eight Unit Residential Structures.

·        P&Z discussed a previous change to Ely Zoning that removed multiple family buildings from the R-2 building zone and replaced it with single and two family units. Also the definition “Dwelling, Multi Family” was entered into the city definitions that would allow for two or more families living independently. An issue with this definition is that it does not exist in any current zoning classifications and it does not limit the size of these structures. Keith Schulte has approached the council and now P&Z to review this change that will not him to follow through with the original building plan for his development of the R-2 zoned property along State Street on the north side of Ely.

·        The P&Z will establish two new zoning classifications of R-3 & R-4. The R-3 zone will allow up to and including four (4) single family units per structure. An R-4 zone will allow up to and including Eight (8) single family units per structure. All “R” Zoning classifications will allow for planning and building consistent with that zoning class and any lesser “R” Zoning classification. 

·        Issues yet to resolve are frontage and street parking requirements and or limitations.

1)     Should R-4 Zoning classification require one additional off street parking space per unit?

2)     Determine if the R-3 & R-4 classifications address structure sizing in regard to the definition “Dwelling, Multi Family”?

 

5) Discussion: Review & Update Future Land Use Plan.

·        P&Z is to consider putting PUD (Planned Urban Development) into the cities future land use plan during the review of Ely’s plan.

·        This item was tabled until the April meeting to allow for more review.
