True, and City Rescue Mission's on Kalamazoo are the main development ones. New Vision Lansing is one that is currently missing and will be updated. Most are usually just residential combos. I could have sword LHC did submit one, but don't see it. …

Both the second amendment changes and the ADU - CM Hussain version, were voted out of committee and will be on May 5th's agenda. There wasn't really any discussion so no negative comments were made against either. Semi-related to a previous comme…

Yeah. Since ADUs got paused for the zoning map to be re-reviewed, D&P never had a discussion about Planning Commission's recommendation to pass the staff-proposed version. I think that will be reviewed and they will ultimately vote out CM Hussai…

I'm not quite sure why they did that except to guess drafts got added to the internal processing folder so they all got uploaded. Both 'in form' versions are the same. From what I understand, the CM Hussain version will be the one voted on by the fu…

Gillespie Group has been and are doing things so kudos, seriously, it's awesome. I just wish if they had the resources they would be more aggressive. They keep peddling their obsolete industrial buildings on loopnet rather than demolishing and build…

The irony of Gillespie Group being named the Gateway District developer (partner) meanwhile their Stadium District properties are half vacant and overwhelmed by parking lots. I jest, I know MSU will make them a ton more money, but dang I wish they w…

BZA is the second Thursday of each month so yesterday. They merely asked to postpone their March application so they could add more renderings and supporters. The reduced the height to 67' and there is a condition they will be planting a ton of stre…

The Nationals Soccer Club received their variance requests on the E Miller Rd property.
-
Nationals Soccer Club asked that the application be tabled so no action was taken last Thursday. I think everyone is excited about the project, but not aligning with the architectural standards with the sheer height is a tough variance. There is a …

Because of the map change it needs another public hearing. Ordinance changes require 15-day newspaper notices so unfortunately because of that scheduling, the public hearing will not be held until April 21. Earliest passage date would be May 5. M…

Yeah the edit required a new public hearing notice and we didn't have enough days left for February so it will be up March 4. I'm pretty annoyed with myself heh. The neighborhood was Urbandale, south of E Kalamazoo St. When we were condensing the d…

Act 33 - not every community does it Lansing's way but per Public Act 33 of 2008 (and Act 285 before that) Planning Commission is tasked with reviewing the topics Mich linked but here PC also makes recommendations for sale/purchase of real property,…

An incorrect version of the zoning map was originally uploaded so the zoning amendment has been pulled for this cycle. A neighborhood was mistakenly labeled R-3 instead of R-2. This should be reviewed at Planning Commission February 4 and then sent …

I just realized I said the council vote is February 27, which is a typo. The vote to approve the amendment draft is tonight January 27*** @MichMatters 340 E Edgewood did have an SLU application for self-storage but Council voted against it, in th…
-
Ahh gotcha, so hopefully I can clarify that it is self-storage ONLY as accessory. Right now we weren't regulating it as accessory so people were trying to find loopholes to develop it anywhere. Any building will absolutely need an active, principal …

For those interested I made a reply in the zoning thread so as to not take up space here. I actually hit the character limit so I was being long-winded giving nuance and the reasoning behind changes. One thing I appreciate about Kost is his willi…

Picking up from the main thread - I thought it might be a better to get into the weeds of the zoning amendment going in front of council Feb 27, 2025 here instead. I mentioned a few of the changes that can be found in draft form and summarized on…
-
D&P voted the second set of FBC amendments out to full Council without so much as a comment. Now I really don't understand what all the hemming and hawing the last few months was about. So this should be on the agenda Monday. Due to the required…
-
Sorry about the map, yes it is out of date. A previous update undid all of the rezonings of the last two years. We were waiting for the second amendment to pass which would consolidate all of the districts to reflect both changes, and I thought that…

I think it boils down to a test project of the greater vision, but again some big details on site layout and massing are missing. There were discussions for a pedestrian overpass to Oak Park, either over Saginaw St. or along the train tracks, but y…
