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…

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…
