residential zoning

The city Planning Commission had recommended the 800 block of Devon Avenue be rezoned to allow for high density housing as proposed by a landowner.

In Wenatchee, zoning already exists in many residential areas to permit a duplex or a four-plex behind the house if there's enough room. Design standards require it to look like the neighborhood and fit in with the houses around it.

East Wenatchee Hearing Examiner Andrew Kottkamp heard presentations from both the city and a representative of the home Wednesday.
