Council introduces three zoning ordinances for later consideration, all laid over under state law
Summary
The Saginaw City Council introduced three ordinances to amend the official city map — rezonings along North Michigan, a vacating of part of Congress Avenue, and an R-1 to R-3 rezoning for Blocks 11 and 14 — and laid all three over under state law for future action.
The Saginaw City Council introduced three ordinances and, as required by state procedure, laid them over for future consideration.
The first ordinance would rezone properties along North Michigan (between Schaefer and the CSX railroad, and fronting properties between Davenport and Kronk) from B-1A Interchange Business and RMURC Riverfront Mixed Use/Riverfront Commercial to B-2 General Business. The council moved and seconded the introduction; members voted and the ordinance was laid over under state law for the required notice and review period.
The second ordinance would vacate part of Congress Avenue (the area west of and adjacent to North Niagara Street, westerly to the recorded Eddie Platt, except the easterly 246 feet). That measure also was introduced, seconded and laid over under state law.
The third ordinance would rezone Blocks 11 and 14 (Fish, Filon and Remington's addition) and the part of Cedar Street between those blocks from R-1 Single Family Residential to R-3 Low Density Multiple Dwelling Residential District. Council members introduced and seconded the measure; it was laid over under state law.
Council discussion during the meeting included invitations for residents and applicants to meet with councilmembers and staff to review details. Councilman Mark Anastache said he has tracked and reviewed related property issues and invited residents to contact him directly to look at GIS mapping and the packet materials.
Because introductions were made, no final votes on adoption occurred; all three ordinance introductions will return for further hearing and action consistent with state law timelines.
