MARSHALL – It’s no secret downtown Marshall has experienced a significant revitalization in both commercial and residential growth.
As a result of this influx of residents, the town planning team is aiming to provide more multifamily housing options in the downtown area.
The Marshall Town Board will hold a public hearing in its Feb. 19 meeting on proposed amendments to its Unified Development Ordinance.
Land of Sky Regional Planner Kaitland Finkle serves as the town’s zoning administrator.
According to Finkle, the Marshall Planning Board met in January and voted to recommend the town board adopted changes to its Unified Development Ordinance.
One of the proposed amendments is to 4.2.9 of the Unified Development Ordinance, Multi-Family Dwellings.
The amendment proposes four changes to the section:
- No building shall exceed a length of 150 feet.
- A distance of at least 20 feet shall be maintained between all buildings within the development.
- All sanitary containers shall be completely screened from view of the street and adjacent properties with fencing and/or landscaping.
- Single and two-family family dwellings shall not occupy the first floor or ground level in the Central Business (CB) district.
