Council approves rezoning for three small 'efficiency' homes on North 13th Street, across from ISU student housing
Who it touches: If you live near 1103 North 13th Street, expect three small single-family homes to be built there rather than an apartment or larger development.
The council rezoned the parcel at 1103 North 13th Street, across the street from ISU's new student/athletic housing, so a builder can place three "efficiency" homes there; the Area Plan Commission had already recommended it favorably the night before.
Each home is about 512 square feet — smaller than a typical house but meeting every city minimum standard, not the unregulated "tiny homes" some residents have heard about.
