The Benton Harbor Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to adopt its calendar for the year and later voted to remove contingencies on 456 South Fair Avenue.
After the public hearing closed, Commissioner Adams moved to accept the Planning & Zoning Commission calendar for the year, supported by Commissioner Bell. A roll call recorded yes votes from Commissioner Hensel, Manager Little, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner Bell, Commissioner Haines, Commissioner Henry and Chairman Reid; the motion carried.
Staff then provided an update on 456 South Fair, reporting the property had met zoning requirements and had a temporary occupancy condition involving a staff member named Todd. Commissioner Adams moved to remove the contingency on the property; Commissioner Hensel seconded the motion. A roll call again recorded yes votes from Manager Little, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner Bell, Commissioner Haines, Commissioner Henry, Commissioner Hensel and Chairman Reid and the motion carried.
The commission also moved to adjourn later in the meeting; the adjournment motion was supported and carried on a unanimous roll call.
