Macomb Township Board approves Town Center Development Plan and Big Lakes rezoning amendment

The Macomb Township Board of Trustees convened on March 26, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including zoning amendments and development plans. The meeting began with the adoption of a zoning ordinance amendment, which set the stage for subsequent discussions.

The first significant item on the agenda was the request to adopt the Macomb Town Center Development Plan for phases 2, 3, and 4, located on the north side of 24 Mile Road, east of Luckman Road. Mr. Box provided an overview, noting that this plan had previously received approval but included modifications due to the acquisition of additional property. These changes allowed for a revised layout and the addition of extra units. The Town Center Committee had reviewed the plan and recommended its approval. The motion to adopt the plan was made and supported, passing unanimously.

Next, the board considered a request for the first amendment to the conditional rezoning for Big Lakes Lawn Care, situated on Romeo Plank, north of 23 Mile Road. Mr. Box explained that this amendment was necessary due to unmet requirements from a prior approval, which had caused the original agreement to lapse. The new agreement included specific deadlines to ensure compliance. A new condition regarding the removal of existing fencing and tarp was introduced, allowing Big Lakes to install new fencing before site plan approvals. The motion to approve the amendment, including the new condition, was made and supported, also passing unanimously.

Item 18, which involved a rezoning request, was deemed moot due to the approval of item 17. The board voted to remove this item from the agenda without further discussion.

The meeting concluded with the board addressing item 19, although details of this final item were not provided in the transcript. Overall, the meeting was marked by a collaborative approach to development planning and zoning adjustments, reflecting the board's commitment to managing growth in Macomb Township effectively.
