On October 03, 2023, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing for the proposed rezoning of a parcel of land with the address of 1025 Osprey Ct. - from a Planned Unit Development (PUD) district to a Multiple-Family Residential zoning district.  This request was brought to the Planning Commission by the City Planner, as the PUD's approval expired and the right to develop per the approved site plans for Hawk's Ridge PUD is terminated per Article 54.323(I)(6) of the City’s Land Development Code.  The property has been acquired by Marquette County and has been listed for sale in hopes of being developed to produce tax revenue, hence rezoning the property is necessary for development of the property to proceed without undue delay once a developer purchases the property.

After the presentation of the Staff File Review and Analysis, applicant testimony, and a public hearing, the Planning Commission made the following motion:

It was moved by C. Gottlieb, and seconded by K. Clegg, and carried 8-0 that after conducting a public hearing and review of the application and Staff Report for 02-REZ-10-23, the Planning Commission finds that the previously approval Planned Unit Development zoning for the property is invalidated per the standards of Land Development Code (LDC) section 54.323(I)(6), and that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the Community Master Plan and meets the requirements of the LDC Section 54.1405, and hereby recommends that the City Commission approve 02-REZ-05-22 as presented. Approval will change the zoning district to Multiple Family Residential (MFR).

This public hearing was scheduled at the October 30, 2023 City Commission meeting.
