COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Coldwater Downtown Development Authority is scheduled Wednesday morning to discuss a draft of an ordinance that would amend the use of multifamily dwellings in the city.
It’s expected to come before the City Council sometime in the future.
It calls for the minimum height to be at least two stories. In addition, every building would have to front the primary street to which the building’s address is assigned, and a public entrance should be located on the street-level frontage.
The ordinance also states that if any common area or office uses are to accompany the primary multifamily residential use, they should be located at the ground-level and front the primary public street to which the building’s address is assigned.
There would be at least one off-street parking space for each dwelling unit. City Council approval would be required if a municipal owned lot is involved.
