Shiawassee County adopts Middlebury PUD zoning amendment to create PUD‑1 Owosso Speedway

The Shiawassee County Board of Commissioners adopted Ordinance No. 25‑02‑01, the Middlebury PUD Zoning Ordinance Amendment, at its Feb. 12, 2025 meeting, creating a new PUD‑1 Owosso Speedway zoning district for parcels in Middlebury Township.

The motion to adopt the ordinance was made by Commissioner Howard and seconded by Commissioner Holzhausen; the Board approved the ordinance by a 7–0 roll‑call vote. The ordinance cites the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act (Public Act 110 of 2006, as amended) as its statutory authority and directs the Community Development Director to publish notice of adoption as required by state law.

The ordinance text amends the county zoning district map and incorporates an Appendix PUD‑1 identifying applicable regulations. Parcels listed in the ordinance include (as stated in the ordinance): Parcel ID 005‑13‑300‑003 (B‑2 to PUD‑1; described with approximately 10.5 acres after exclusions), Parcel IDs 005‑14‑400‑003, 005‑14‑400‑001, 005‑14‑400‑004, 005‑14‑400‑002 (noted as including a 2.9‑acre parcel and a 37‑acre parcel in the legal descriptions), and Parcel ID 005‑23‑100‑010‑00 (legal description provided in ordinance). The ordinance incorporates the appendix regulations for the new district and states it will take effect seven days after the applicable notice of adoption is published.

The ordinance replaces conflicting provisions of prior county zoning where necessary and includes standard severability and publication provisions. No substantive debate or speakers for or against the ordinance are recorded in the meeting minutes provided.

What happens next: the Community Development Director is responsible for publishing notice and taking any other notices required by law; the ordinance becomes effective seven days after the published notice.
