Why is an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance needed right now?
In recent years there has been a community concern about the redevelopment of substandard lots. Of particular concern has been the demolition of one older home straddling 2 substandard lots; the sale and recordation of those individual lots into different ownership; and the redevelopment of the property into 2 new narrower homes on the underlying lots.
