WLNS has some clearer renderings for Riverview and Grand Vista. Still bad, of course, but at least these don't make it look quite as bad.

Yeah, I guess my point was that I'm kind of interested to see what law covers this just as a kind of academic exercize, because the laws and ordinances I've been referenced don't actually address building over streets. And, yeah, you know I'm in com…

Yeah, citykid talked about an Act 33 review for Tower on Grand, before. Though, I still don't get how it would trigger that, or how the law is interpreted to require it: https://content.civicplus.com/api/assets/55a2ef9b-e736-44f7-ba72-21effa45907…

The LSJ story has the original rendering of Riverview, from what I can tell. Also, I just passed the site, today. Apparently, the story was published because it looks like they've already started demolition of the existing buildings on site. I hadn'…

Looks like Riverview and Grand Vista Place in Cherry Hill have closed on all funding needed for these two buildings being developed by the Lansing Housing Commission & Chesapeake Community Advisors. I guess Cinnaire is just an investor. It looks…

I posted this because this is where they are going to build the parking garage and amenity deck for Tower on Grand. You will be able to walk from the building entrance on Washington to over Grand Avenue to the tower. I'm still curious about how t…

Was just looking through the mayor's proposed budget for FY25, and it looks like Lansing got a "historic" investment of $9.7 million from the state to invest in capitol projects for major streets, so that means a lot more "fixing the damn roads" thi…

Slow start to the year in terms of council, commission and commission stuff. Only thing I've found of interest was some meeting minutes from one of these saying that some work has already begun in Michigan Building as part of Tower on Grand. I am ki…

I'm confused what "never made it to the finish line." Like, do they need money for more planning; was this to the point of where it just needed funding for construction, what? It sounds like this is a money issue, but they aren't explicit about that…

So, next weeks agenda are showing the Planning Commission meeting has been cancelled. [sigh]

Looks like the MEDC's Michigan Strategic Board approved their incentive package for New Vision Lansing, today. Kind of wish I could read the details, but they don't put up meeting packets until weeks after the meeting. In any case, this appears to h…

The forces of the universe are conspiraring against you Who caught this, and which neighborhood was it? Why wouldn't the change just be something administrative that wouldn't have to start the process back over? I wish they wouldn't have caught …

I noticed on the south end of the Neogen expansion, which spans Shiawassee to Michigan, that there appears to be steel rising, again. I'm always shocked to see how massive this thing is, a large manufacturing operation returning to the city that's n…

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I guess I don't mind it as an accessory use in the downtown districts. I jumped the gun a bit and thought you guys were expanding the zones in which it could be included, and also I guess I wasn't aware of what was permitt…

Ah, thanks for finding this thread! I forgot I made it, and it definitely makes sense to be posting specifically zoning-related stuff here. Also, thanks for refreshing us on this. I like the changes to basically legalize building fourplexes, a…
-
Thanks for the update! We probably talked about this months ago, but to refresh us, can you hash out a bit more of some of the changes you mentioned? For instance, what was the minimum dwelling width before and the purpose for the decrease? Also, ki…

Sometimes the media gets details wrong; I'm hoping that's what this was. lol The only way this would even make a half-way bit of sense is if GM was goingt to sell the frontage along Malcolm X in places to allow some infill development so that you co…

WILX story says they are talking about a cap between Walnut and MLK, which...isn't really reconnecting ANY of the actual neighborhoods along this stretch. This is literally just stretching from one end of the GM plant to the other. I'm so confused; …

Looks like Planning & Development Committee meets next week to discuss the amendments to the Form-Based Code (FBC), again. As is typically the case, minutes from the previous December meeting are included, and it gives me an idea of some of the …

Yep, that's it. Thanks. I'd definitely love to see something like this. But I also understand how expensive it'd be to engineer something beyond open space that tops a cap, so I'm definitely not expecting something like that. Same reason I'm …
