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…

I understand it is a lot and not the most exciting topic to delve into. ADUs have largely been spearheaded by an advocacy group, as you may seen in the City Pulse the last few months. The Planning & Zoning Office crafted regulations we though…

The Lansing Planning and Zoning Office is introducing a new round of zoning amendments to Planning Commission as well as briefing members on supported rules for ADUs that a citizen advocacy group has requested. These can be found on www.lansingmi.go…

927 S Washington was just added to the national register of historic places opening up some tax credits. It is pink-tagged so should be vacant until it is rehabbed. I've heard alternate rumors of renovation and sale, but income from 63 units is a si…
