Petoskey planning commission schedules hearings for 224 Michigan Street rezoning and parking-exempt amendment
Summary
The Petoskey City Planning Commission voted to schedule public hearings to consider rezoning 224 Michigan Street from OS to B-2 and a text amendment to expand the parking-exempt district for the same property; both motions were approved by voice/raised hands with no public comment.
The Petoskey City Planning Commission on March 18 scheduled public hearings to consider a rezoning request and a related text amendment affecting 224 Michigan Street.
The commission approved a motion to set a hearing on a request to rezone the property from OS to B-2 (a mixed-use corridor designation). A separate motion to schedule a hearing on a proposed text amendment to expand the parking-exempt district affecting the same address was also adopted; commissioners agreed to hold both hearings on the same date. Both motions were approved by voice and raised hands; no public commenters spoke during the meeting.
Planning staff announced that the zoning ordinance review committee will meet April 2 at 10:00 a.m. and reminded commissioners that the planning commission must schedule public hearings under the city’s ordinances and that recommendations from the commission will go to the City Council for consideration. "The planning commission has to schedule a public hearing. That's how our ordinances burden," a staff member stated during the discussion.
Commissioners urged colleagues to review draft zoning committee materials and dimension tables posted online ahead of the committee meeting. One commissioner offered to provide current dimension tables for comparison to the draft ordinance updates.
The meeting opened and was called to order at 6:00 p.m.; it lasted only a few minutes and was adjourned after the hearing-scheduling votes.
