Mount Clemens planning commission approves car wash, 101-unit apartment and jail intake addition; city wins road-safety-audit grant
Summary
City Manager Shipman told the commission the Planning Commission approved a new car wash, a four-story 101-unit apartment replacing the Victory Inn and a four-story addition to the county jail for intake and assessment. The city also received a road safety audit grant for a busy intersection.
City Manager Mr. Shipman reported several planning milestones and grant awards to the commission.
Shipman said the Planning Commission approved three site plans: a new 5,434-square-foot car wash to replace a closed Burger King at North Gratiot and Cass Avenue; a new 32,312-square-foot, four-story, 101-unit apartment complex to replace the closed Victory Inn; and a four-story addition to the county jail providing modern medical and mental-health services for intake and assessment.
Shipman also announced that the city was notified it would be awarded a road safety audit grant for the northbound Gratiot and North River Road intersection; the study will focus on pedestrian and vehicle safety at that location, noting the added traffic that the new apartment complex and nearby developments may generate. He provided timelines for other projects: the Hover Street rehabilitation was scheduled to begin April 29, 2024 (weather permitting) with completion expected by the end of July, and code enforcement would begin identifying properties with grass or weeds 8 inches or taller on May 1 for potential contractor mowing at a charge to property owners ($150 residential, $200 commercial per cut).
The report was informational; no commission action was recorded on the Planning Commission approvals during this meeting.
