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…

I'll never understand this project's siting. If I am not mistaken it was pitched (although not applied for yet) under the old zoning so it got away with not being oriented to the streets. Unfortunately to fit with available space building #4 will be…

@MichMatters I do not have enough knowledge on this. My theory is that Riverfront Dr. came up because of the name change but there is a different process for that so I don't know. It looks like the rest of the decertifications is just Public Service…

You make a good point about the jr. high school. The 600 block was listed for sale somewhere? I think they saw the dollar signs. It would have been insane to keep those buildings when they are looking at a $10m move and they could get ~$2m from…
-
City Rescue Mission did submit their site plan for the new property. It's nothing interesting though, just a two story addition to connect the two buildings. i heard on the radio their $9-10 million dollar renovation campaign. That's double the numb…

Sorry I wasn't clear. The three houses along Holmes St that went down are going to greenspace and the rest of the land with the vacated street was combined with the main hospital, outlined in red, to limit their property tax liability also want t…

The three houses they took down along N Holmes St. will be lawn. The old goodyear site is temporary parking up to two years (Section 1254.01.08 (c) ) as they say they "need" overflow parking. They want to pave it but our interpretation is that parki…

Parking - I don't see a lot being approved there but I hear you regarding Council. We have to close a loophole and limit lot combinations that make expanded parking an accessory use. That isnt relevant there on Grand but it has come up in other prim…
