MONROE - During a meeting Wednesday, the City of Monroe Plan Commission:
• Discussed and recommended to Council for public hearing and adoption a special ordinance NO. 139 rezoning property to a planned unit development (PUD) district and adopting a general development plan and specific implementation plan for phase I and phase II of an Angelus Retirement Community PUD, along 8th Avenue near 6th Street.
• A conditional use permit for a home-based salon at 311 6th Street was stricken from the agenda.
• Discussed and approved a conditional use permit to allow an accessory building at 1311 13th Ave.
• Discussed a proposed green waste recycle project.
• Reviewed and recommended to council to approve a certified survey map for the Marketplace development near Monroe Truck Equipment on 6th Avenue West.
• Discussed Northeast Park Condominiums PUD application and planned to meet Apr. 15 to review the PUD documents, maps and plans.
• Discussed and voted unanimously to rezone a property, Monroe Village Apartments, along 4th Avenue West, from M-1 (light industrial) to R-3 (multi-family residential). A lack of a buffer between the apartments and a neighboring storage facility keeps the property in non-compliance according to city code, but the commission determined the rezoning puts it in a better position to be rebuilt, if needed.
Commission members William Bethke and Keith Ingwell were absent.
