The subdivision regulations thing should be in front of council soon - it hit an internal delay, but I'm hoping soon since it is holding up a potential project. Ooo, looking forward to seeing what this is. Have you heard anything about Tow…

Reading the upcoming zoning board of appeals packet, and someone wants to develop a suburban-styled single-story 4,000 sq ft marijuana dispensary with a drive-thru at the northwest corner of Larch & Saginaw. They want a setback of nearly 91 feet…

Nothing development-wise in next week's city council agenda, and still notably missing votes on New Visions Lansing. Kind of wondering what's going on.

Didn't see much in next week's Planning Commission, but the minutes for the previous one show that the commission unanimously approved the Planning Office's recommendations for reform of the subdivisions ordinances to cut some of the red tape. Good …

Just noticed on the Aug 15 planning commission agenda, too, that there is plans for a Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant in between McAllisters and the Huntington Bank up on the mostly otherwise vacant hill at Eastwood. They call themselves a "up…

Edit: Ah, I see how the NEZ ordinance amendment and the OPRA revocation are related after seeing D&P committee minutes from last week. I don't understand all of the details, but apparently, Hepler is seeking the revocation of the OPRA certificat…

I'm still not sure why the Bojis are buying the lot instead of CATA, but it's hit the news: Developer to buy city owned parking lot Lolo Robison, a spokeswoman for CATA, says the organization supports the sale of the property to the Boji Gro…

It looks like a poster. They've been up for a few weeks, I think. They definitely needed something to feel the walls facing the street.

Oh, no; not the Victor Building! That'd be so bad. lol But it'd totally make sense given how the Gentilozzi's just basically appeared out of nowhere with New Vision Lansing, LLC. The city has been trying to get by on less space. With the courts, pol…

It'd almost kind of have to be them given what we heard last week.

I'd like more details about why they aren't partnering with Davenport (owns the three vacant lots at the southeast corner of the block) to locate the parking garage completely on that block. citykid, you might want to bring this up to them an…

We get some big clues in this week's city pulse about the "new" city hall. The mayor's spokesperson confirms that it will be a renovated building downtown, and plans will be unveiled "really soon." The old Masonic Temple/Cooley Building is really th…

BTW, it's zoned MX-2 - Community Mixed-Use Center. Suburban commercial is pretty much restricted to the major corridors south of Jolly. So whatever's developed here, at least by-right, has to be urban-ish; not necessarily downtown-type stuff, but so…

Hood, the Lansing Parcel Viewer is a great resource, and shows you the land subdivisions. Logan Square includes the retail buildings, the outlot building, the KFC, and a driveway out to MLK. Whatever we're talking about would just include Log…

Providing decent housing over there is a nice idea, but I find it hard to believe it would work out. lolwut? Anything at that site will have to include residential, particularly as retail and commercial uses are a shrinking part of the market…

With the city filing suit to force the owners of Logan Square at MLK and Holmes into receivership, I was curious about what you guys would do to this property were the city ever able to get its hands on it? The center has about 278,000 sq ft of s…

I was pleasantly surprised when I've been passing this within the last week or so that there is actual brick being added as part of the facade, and not the cheap, pre-cast fau-brick. They are actually applying individual bricks, which is a bit of su…

Ah, the page for this on their website says the actual bridge will be reconstructed in 2024. I guess they are doing it this way to minimize the disruption during much of the school year.
-
You must be talking about D&P Commitee agenda, which is what I got the info from; I don't see any upcoming planning commission agendas out yet. That's what I figured for the new development, that they'd be requesting an NEZ or brownfield or b…

Yeah, I messed up with that. An OPRA is, of course, a rehab project. In any case, I would expect them to come to the city for something with this project, eventually. Developers don't leave tax credits and such on the table. I'm still confused ab…
