The City recently received a request to conditionally rezone the property at 1700 Division Street from Mixed-Use (M-U) to General Commercial with Conditional Rezoning (GC CR). Pursuant to the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act, MCL 125.3405, “An owner of land may voluntarily offer in writing, and the local unit of government may approve, certain use and development of the land as a condition to a rezoning of the land or an amendment to a zoning map”.
On September 16, 2025, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and discussed the proposed rezoning, in accordance with procedures established in the Land Development Code for evaluating rezoning requests. The following motion was made to recommend approval of the request:
It was moved by S. Lawry, seconded by D. Fetter, and carried 5-0 that after conducting a public hearing and review of the application and STAFF REPORT/ANALYSIS for 01-REZ-09-25, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed rezoning with conditions is consistent with the Community Master Plan and meets the requirements of the Land Development Code Section 54.1405, and hereby recommends that the City Commission approve 01-REZ-09-25 as presented.
The Conditional Rezoning application, staff file review/analysis, and minutes of the September 16, 2025 meeting are attached. A Conditional Rezoning Agreement will need to be drafted and approved.
