Commissioners discuss affordable housing options, developer interest on South and North Railroad
Summary
Mendon commissioners said they will examine zoning restrictions affecting affordable housing; Commissioner Kloosterman reported talks with a developer about properties on South Railroad and North Railroad and Chair Kline emphasized walkability and public-transportation access as key considerations.
Affordable housing and local zoning restrictions were raised as an item for future discussion at the Mendon Township Planning Commission meeting on Oct. 15.
Commissioner Kloosterman told the commission he and others are speaking with a developer about potentially using property on South Railroad and North Railroad for housing that could address affordability. Chairperson Kline said walkability and public-transportation access were among the “key components” the commission should consider for any housing proposals.
No formal proposal, plans, funding sources or zoning amendments were presented at the meeting, and commissioners did not take any binding action. The topic was recorded as an item for future discussion and analysis of existing zoning restrictions.
