5 issues in zoning with medium priority
Zoning Map Amendments: Baucom Deese Road and Charles Street
A request to allow higher-density residential development at 610 Charles Street by moving the parcel from medium- to high-density zoning.
Mixed-use district zoning text amendment
The city is considering rewriting parts of its mixed-use zoning rules covering four corridor and medical districts. Those standards shape what future development along Monroe's corridors can look like.
Proposed Rezonings at 713 Fowler Road and 202 Walnut Street
Rezoning this parcel from high-density to medium-density residential would cut back on how many housing units could be built there — a live issue for anyone watching Monroe's housing supply.
600 Honeysuckle Lane Rezoning Request
Union County wants to keep running a group home serving six or more people at this address, but the site sits within a half mile of another group home and current zoning only allows smaller operations by right. The rezoning would let the facility continue after losing its grandfathered status during renovations.
Goldmine Road heavy industrial rezoning
A Goldmine Road parcel would move from Union County's heavy industrial zoning to the City of Monroe's equivalent designation. The use stays heavy industrial; the change puts the property under city zoning rules.
