Commission approves rezoning for 3113 Plaza Drive NE to permit mixed-density housing
Summary
The commission rezoned 3113 Plaza Drive NE from Neighborhood Office of Services to Modern Era Neighborhood Mixed Density Residential to allow redevelopment into a mix of housing densities; Commissioner Knight described site constraints and intent before a unanimous roll-call approval.
The Grand Rapids City Commission voted to rezone 3113 Plaza Drive Northeast from NOS (Neighborhood Office of Services) to the Modern Era Neighborhood Mixed Density Residential district, clearing the way for redevelopment consistent with nearby moderate- and higher-density housing.
Commissioner Knight described the property as located on the south side of Plaza Drive (a private street) north of I-96, constrained by a private road and a 25-foot easement serving a cell tower on the southwest corner. Knight said the zoning district “is intended to permit the moderate to high density single use development pattern that present presently exists” and encourages redevelopment into mixed-density formats.
After a brief presentation and no additional commissioner questions, the council took a roll-call vote; the clerk recorded unanimous votes in favor and the motion carried.
The ordinance was presented and adopted as part of the evening’s regular agenda. Commissioners and staff did not identify a developer or construction timeline during the adoption item; planning and permit details will be handled through the city’s normal land-use review process.
