A dozen new apartment units on East Racine Street in Janesville will not be moving forward as planned following a negative recommendation from the Janesville Plan Commission.

Three new four-unit buildings were proposed for the south side of East Racine Street, just East of Randall Avenue.

The 1.5 acre site currently has a commercial building that most recently housed a towing operation. That building and the existing concrete would have been removed as part of the proposed project.

The motion Monday night that would have allowed the minimum parcel size, the minimum building setback, and the minimum front yard green area to be reduced failed on a tied three to three vote with Commissioner Carl Weber absent.
