Watertown Plan Commission Meeting | August 24, 2026

The City of Watertown Plan Commission held a meeting on August 24, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing and approving a rezoning and amended plan development overlay for a multifamily housing project at 100 and 104 East Division Street. The project, originally approved earlier in 2026, was revised to increase units from 67 to 75, with changes to building design, parking, and green space. The commission discussed parking requirements, stormwater management, and community amenities, ultimately recommending approval with ten conditions including development agreements and ADA compliance. Additionally, the commission reviewed proposed updates to the city's zoning code performance standards, covering site development, parking, operational impacts, fencing, and vacant building maintenance. The discussions included considerations for flexibility in parking requirements, stormwater filtration, and timelines for addressing vacant properties. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn after thorough deliberations on these planning and development matters.
