ZBA grants four variances to expand Ecumenical Senior Center at 702 North Burdick Street
Summary
The zoning board approved four dimensional variances for the Ecumenical Senior Center redevelopment at 702 North Burdick Street: reduced bicycle parking, increased impervious coverage, one required street entrance, and allowance for limited occupied-space utility placement.
The Kalamazoo Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously approved four dimensional variances on Feb. 13 that will allow the Ecumenical Senior Center to expand and replace its existing facility at 702 North Burdick Street.
Nut graf: Architect Michael Flynn and civil engineer Megan Oman told the board the corner lot's shape, the center's service needs (barrier‑free pick‑up/drop‑off, van access, meal deliveries) and existing utility locations restricted layout options. Staff supported most requests and noted the project will replace an outdated stormwater system and add site improvements.
