Council records first reading to reclassify Inkster Housing Commission parcels to multi‑family district

At the Oct. 19 meeting the clerk read the executive summary for a first reading of a zoning map amendment affecting properties managed by the Inkster Housing Commission. The proposed change would reclassify parcels now zoned Neighborhood Residential R1 to Neighborhood Mixed Use / Multifamily Residential MRD-1 to align official zoning with existing multifamily garden-apartment uses and remove legal nonconforming status. The clerk said the planning department recommended the change to enable property rehabilitation and to improve access to state rehabilitation grants and housing tax credits.
