The commission did not make final changes to the ordinance, but it moved the proposal forward for legal review. Commissioners also learned that Rockford zoning has no minimum house size, so tiny homes may be allowed on standard residential lots if they meet building and setback rules. Residential development costs were reported at about $50,000 for a 100-foot frontage lot, with tax abatements and fee waivers available to help offset costs.
