Shiawassee County adopts Middlebury PUD to create PUD-1 Owosso Speedway zoning district
Summary
The Shiawassee County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 25-02-01 on Feb. 12, 2025, establishing a new PUD-1 Owosso Speedway zoning district in Middlebury Township; the ordinance is effective seven days after publication and directs the Community Development Director to publish notice under the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act.
The Shiawassee County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 12, 2025, adopted Ordinance No. 25-02-01, the Middlebury PUD Zoning Ordinance Amendment, to create a new PUD-1 Owosso Speedway zoning district in Middlebury Township.
Commissioner Howard moved adoption of the ordinance and Commissioner Holzhausen seconded; the measure carried on a roll call vote of seven yeas and 0 nays (Holzhausen, Johnson, Garber, Howard, Shepard, Haley and Chairman Gregory Brodeur). Under the ordinance, the county’s Director of Community Development is authorized to publish notice of adoption as required by the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act (Public Act 110 of 2006, as amended). The ordinance states it will take effect seven days after the applicable notice of adoption is published.
The ordinance amends the Shiawassee County Zoning Ordinance and the county zoning map to establish the PUD-1 Owosso Speedway district and incorporates Appendix PUD-1, which sets out regulations for the new district. The ordinance text in the record lists specific parcel identifications and descriptions in Sections 13, 14 and 23 of Middlebury Township, including Parcel ID# 005-13-300-003 (approx. 10.5 acres after certain exclusions), multiple parcels in the 005-14-400 series (including a 37-acre parcel), and Parcel ID# 005-23-100-010-00. The ordinance directs incorporation of the appendix and includes standard severability and repeal language.
Why it matters: the ordinance rezones the specified parcels and establishes development standards for the new PUD district. The Community Development Director is required to publish notice and to take any other notices required by law; the ordinance’s effective date depends on that publication. The board record does not include additional details about proposed uses within the PUD beyond the ordinance text itself.
The board took the vote as part of general business and moved on to other agenda items following passage. The ordinance and map amendment are now part of the county zoning code and will be effective seven days after publication, per the ordinance language.
