Clawson council rejects rezoning for 340 North Main Street after residents, commissioners raise access and scale concerns

The Clawson City Council voted 3–2 on Oct. 21 to deny a request to rezone 340 North Main Street from Office Service (O‑1) and Single‑Family Residential (R‑2) to Core Residential (CR).

The motion to approve the rezoning failed after roll call: Mayor Paula Millan — no; Councilor Scott — no; Councilor Shepherd — no; Mayor Pro Tem Moffitt — yes; Councilor Anderson — yes. The council’s discussion followed a Planning Commission recommendation in favor of the change.

Nick, city planning staff, told council the Planning Commission held a public hearing and approved the request and that the rezoning is “compliant with the adopted master plan” included in the council packet. He also said the applicant was present to answer questions.
