OSHKOSH, Wis–The city of Oshkosh is considering zoning changes to increase urban density. A set of proposals heading to the Common Council next week include allowing for the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units in residential areas, reducing the required parking spaces for apartments, and reducing the minimum lot size from 60-feet of street frontage to just 30.
Planning Services Manager Mark Lyons says the goal is to bring in more affordable housing in Oshkosh.
The zoning change recommendations came from a recently-conducted housing study in Oshkosh that found a lack of affordable units.
