HOLLAND — In light of continued concern from residents of Holland's center-city neighborhoods, the Holland Planning Commission is scaling back proposed changes to zoning standards in the Traditional Neighborhood Residential district.
The changes are being proposed as part of a much larger project to revamp and combine the city's zoning and development ordinance into a unified development ordinance, or UDO.
In the Traditional Neighborhood Residential zone district, labeled R-TRN in Holland's current zoning map, lot size requirements for multifamily housing are proposed to shrink, making more properties eligible to build two-, three- and four-unit homes in the district.
The original proposal in the most recent draft of the UDO was to decrease the per-unit square footage requirement from 4,800 square feet to 3,250 square feet.
