Deletion of DR-8 Zoning District and TR-10 Modification

Monroe

Summary

Monroe simplified its two-family zoning by merging DR-8 (side-by-side duplexes) into TR-10, which now allows both side-by-side and up-and-down two-unit homes. Owners of former DR-8 parcels no longer need rezonings to convert between layouts, making two-unit housing easier to build and modify.
