Description
Title: An Ordinance to Amend Chapter 55 (Zoning), Rezoning of 0.28 Acres from R1D (Single-Family Dwelling District) to R2A (Two-Family Dwelling District), 225 and 235 South Wagner Road (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 8 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Summary
The City of Ann Arbor is considering an ordinance to rezone two parcels located at 225 and 235 South Wagner Road from R1-D (Single-Family Dwelling District) to R2A (Two-Family Dwelling District). This change, which affects approximately 0.28 acres, aims to allow for the construction of two principal dwelling units on each parcel. The rezoning aligns with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, which encourages higher density housing and greater diversity in housing types, particularly near major transit corridors and existing infrastructure. Public engagement included a Community Participation Meeting, where concerns about parking and sidewalks were raised. Overall, the rezoning seeks to enhance housing availability in the area while minimally impacting the surrounding neighborhood.
