The 108 S Grand address is a typo since its the 500 block. They were told to correct that but I guess it slipped in.

At least two separate developers have approached Sparrow to rehab just the building with no extra land, or to partner on a project, and were rebuffed.

Oh, I guess my comment was more that I think people complain about anything, especially in regards to new housing. The craziest one I have seen in another community is two 8-unit apartment "ADUs" allowed on single-family parcel because it met their …

3724 Pleasant Grove rezoning for two 5-unit rowhouses - no concerns and recommended approval. 1950 N Waverly adult foster care - a few neighbors stated the police have been called many times because of residents so they tabled so that staff can do …

@hood https://cofs.lara.state.mi.us/SearchApi/Search/Search is a great tool to see who is behind LLCs and such.

RE: Riverview 220, I hadn't heard any of that but my guess is LHC pivoted from Boji to Cinnaire to be their developer for the project. Their architect is finalizing out minor revisions, but I know the City still wants to completely retool the block …

I know Lansing Township's planner won't give out any comprehensive information so I'm not even bothering to ask, but a self-storage development is being pitched for Michigan Avenue Park/Waverly Golf Course at tonight's Planning Commission meeting. I…

The city will be talking to LHC about how they are siting their building for their phase I development so hopefully there will be a really nice layout. I hope baryame's sells and then there is an entire block to design without constraint. The news j…

@MichMatters I do not have enough knowledge on this. My theory is that Riverfront Dr. came up because of the name change but there is a different process for that so I don't know. It looks like the rest of the decertifications is just Public Service…

You make a good point about the jr. high school. The 600 block was listed for sale somewhere? I think they saw the dollar signs. It would have been insane to keep those buildings when they are looking at a $10m move and they could get ~$2m from…

City Rescue Mission did submit their site plan for the new property. It's nothing interesting though, just a two story addition to connect the two buildings. i heard on the radio their $9-10 million dollar renovation campaign. That's double the numb…

Sorry I wasn't clear. The three houses along Holmes St that went down are going to greenspace and the rest of the land with the vacated street was combined with the main hospital, outlined in red, to limit their property tax liability also want t…

The three houses they took down along N Holmes St. will be lawn. The old goodyear site is temporary parking up to two years (Section 1254.01.08 (c) ) as they say they "need" overflow parking. They want to pave it but our interpretation is that parki…

Parking - I don't see a lot being approved there but I hear you regarding Council. We have to close a loophole and limit lot combinations that make expanded parking an accessory use. That isnt relevant there on Grand but it has come up in other prim…

Sorry sorry, I didn't want to chime in because you mentioned the form-based code amendment and I was waiting for it to be public. I... am surprised it hasn't been okayed yet, but that is how these things go sometimes. It should be soon. On that note…

@MichMatters Council clarified your question on process quite well at the end of the meeting. The approval of the grant was not on the agenda which they didn't understand. The City has postponed the State's deadline already so both are anxious to ac…

RAP - MEDC has a lot of details about the grant program, but more details on Lansing's award can be read here. Money went to Child and Family Charities rehabbing some old McLaren buildings, 3700 S Waverly, ROECO/old Sears, Prudden Wheel Lofts, and t…

It's hard to know if there is any politicking holding the grant up but I haven't heard any quiet rumblings. I agree it all is puzzling since their press releases made it sound as if they were essentially shovel ready. The sign ordinance isn't sup…

I'm sorry to say I have no insight on New Vision Lansing's status. I had thought I saw the grant as an 'item from the mayor' in one of the agendas but I don't see it now. (all grants no matter what they are have to be accepted by Council). No one ha…

Gentillozi is supposed to be slated to speak on their progress at the 1st Ward constituent meeting, January 6th - 10am, at the Allen Neighborhood Center.
