Muskegon planners recommend rezoning 236 Monroe Avenue to urban residential
Summary
The Muskegon City Planning Commission voted to recommend the rezoning of 236 Monroe Avenue from B-2 convenience and comparison business to Form Based Code — Urban Residential (FBCUR), saying the parcel is better suited for housing than for commercial expansion.
The Muskegon City Planning Commission on May 15 voted to recommend that the City Commission rezone 236 Monroe Avenue from B-2 convenience and comparison business to Form Based Code — Urban Residential (FBCUR).
City planning staff told the commission the parcel has been cleaned up and “doesn't really look like a former alley anymore,” and recommended the FBCUR designation so future uses would be limited to housing rather than commercial expansion or a parking lot. Staff also said the property is privately owned and that staff notified the owner during the outreach process but received no response.
Commissioners closed the public hearing after no one in the room or on the phone requested to speak. A motion to recommend the rezoning passed on roll call with all commissioners present voting yes.
The recommendation will be forwarded to the Muskegon City Commission for final action; the planning commission did not adopt any ordinance language itself and only forwarded a recommendation.
