BACKGROUND: 
Veridea Group submitted an application for Preliminary PUD Approval and Site Plan Review for a proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) that includes a mixture of Townhome types (one-unit, duplex, triplex, and six-unit) for a total of 36 units to be located at the three existing parking lots on the south side of W. Magnetic Street between Lee Street and Fourth Street on the property previously known as the MGH Campus.

 

 
The Planning Commission reviewed the materials at their June 3, 2025 meeting and passed the following motion:

 

 
It was moved by S. Lawry, seconded by K. Clegg, and carried 7-0 that after review of the PUD site plan (includes pattern book items) dated May 5, 2025, and the Staff File Review/Analysis for 01-PUD-03-25, the Planning Commission, who previously established that the PUD met 7 out of 10 required objectives and the criteria to be eligible for a PUD of Section 54.323(F) of the Marquette City Land Development Code, and the preliminary PUD Plan meets Section 54.323(H) of the Marquette City Land Development Code, recommends that the PUD be approved by the Marquette City Commission with the condition that an amended plan be submitted to meet staff comments, particularly for the variances requested, for the final site plan review.
