Per recommendation from the Morris Planning Commission, the Morris City Council approved Monday evening a conditional permitted use and a text amendment.

The permitted use, unanimously approved by the council, was requested by Morris resident Richard Rupslauk for a property located at 836 E. Jefferson St. for use as a two-unit residence.

The residence was used for many years as a two-unit residence, but it became abandoned for more than a year, which made it lose its grandfathered status to allow the house to be a two-unit home.
