The City Council meets next Tuesday at 7 p.m .in the Civic Center, room 108. Primary item on the agenda is the following proposed change:
PC 14-12, P. Michael Kimmel’s request for a text amendment that would allow the reconstruction of buildings built before 1974, in the R-1, Low Density Residential district without the necessity of the structure being destroyed by fire or other natural cause. The Planning Commission recommended approval of this text amendment.
It is my understanding that, currently, buildings in areas zones R-1 in Carbondale can not be rebuilt without the building being destroyed by fire or "other natural cause". This leads to a slow deterioration of the structures since the owner cannot rebuild them unless the building is destroyed, which seems a pretty drastic option to have to wait for.
