Commission approves first reading to rezone vacant Gibraltar-site parcel to heavy industrial
Summary
The commission approved introduction and first reading of an ordinance to rezone a vacant parcel near the Gibraltar site from light industrial to heavy industrial; planning staff said the parcel is slightly less than an acre and Planning Commission recommended approval.
The Mount Clemens City Commission voted to introduce and approve first reading of an ordinance to rezone a vacant parcel commonly referred to as part of the "Gibraltar" site from light industrial to heavy industrial, aligning it with the adjoining property.
Why it matters: Staff said the move makes the smaller parcel consistent with the larger adjoining site and could simplify redevelopment under a single zoning classification. Planning staff reported that the subject parcel is slightly less than one acre and that the March 1 Planning Commission hearing produced a unanimous recommendation for approval.
What staff said: Mr Tingley told the commission the parcel dates back to earlier mapping and may originally have been part of Clinton Township, which explains the split zoning; the rezoning would put both parcels under a single, heavier industrial zone.
Vote and next steps: The commission set a second reading and adoption for March 21, 2022 and approved the introduction at first reading by roll call. Staff noted the parcel is approximately one acre and recommended the second reading date where final adoption would occur.
Ending: The item moves to a scheduled second reading on March 21 for final action.
