Sorry about the map, yes it is out of date.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…

RE: BZA - H Inc wasn't able to submit all of their materials in time for the meeting so it was pulled from Thursday's meeting but will be on a special meeting soon. I can't comment but we'll have to wait on the details to be published.

I do not want to stick my nose in Council's agendas, but the screenshot pulled from Planning Commission's August 7 packet, with the parking garage, that @hood just reposted, is the approved site plan and what is being built. Someone over there uploa…

New Vision has not done one thing necessary through planning and zoning for their supposed projects. I'll take a look at the parcel splits/combinations. I'm not the GIS person but it seems like every time an update is pushed, something wonky happ…

I think at most there is a small office space for the apartment/LHC in the riverview 220 building. I know they explored commercial early in the process and it got scrapped pretty fast because they could not identify any demand and whatever happened …

They have been using www.hookerdejong.com The city told them about the proposed rules for articulation and prohibiting different styles/materials from crossing multiple floors/horizontal segments and the blue and brown stripes on the wilx news stor…

33' is common in a lot of neighborhoods platted before automobiles were a thing. The width minimum is to accommodate a 5' minimum side setback (which if built to a new dwelling would require a fire-rated wall), a 10' second side setback/driveway, an…

There is willingness to publish a public-facing development-status page. I'll report back. Grand Rapids Example

@MichMatters re: Lansing Building Authority. A building authority is a creature of municipalities, LBA is made up of board of employees. My understanding is that it serves to act on things more quickly without having to go through red tape for acqui…

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.

Delta's long-, longtime planner that was stuck in suburbia just retired and the person who took over came from Meridian Twp. after bringing contemporary new urbanism principles, or at least broaching its concepts, into some of their planning and zon…

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 …

The Red Cedar buildings are elevated to get above the floodplain. There was no way around that except to install other floodproofing (thick membranes and waterproof shutters over doors and windows). This is the purported hang up for 'Roeco', Gillesp…

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…
