Commission introduces ordinance to rezone two Grosbeck properties to general commercial
Summary
The commission introduced for first reading an ordinance to conditionally rezone 269 and 295 North Grosbeck from mixed use to general commercial; the Planning Commission recommended approval 7–0 and there were no opposing public comments at the planning hearing.
The Mount Clemens City Commission introduced for first reading an ordinance to conditionally rezone properties at 269 and 295 North Grosbeck from MU (mixed use) to GC (general commercial).
Planning staff told the commission the master plan already designates the site for commercial and office uses and that the rezoning would permit a broader range of commercial uses. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on Aug. 4, 2015, recommended approval by a 7–0 vote, and no members of the public opposed the request at that hearing; one neighboring property owner spoke in favor.
Staff noted that uses such as automobile service or car lots would still require special land‑use approval from the Planning Commission even if the rezoning is adopted. Commissioners asked for clarification about potential future uses; staff said the rezoning would allow a greater number of commercial uses but those uses are subject to special‑use review where applicable.
What’s next: The ordinance was introduced at first reading and will return for subsequent readings and a final vote before any change in zoning takes effect.
