Planning commission tables Fontainebleau parking rezoning and approves several sign packages
Summary
The commission tabled a rezoning request for Fontainebleau parking because a posted notice described a commercial rezoning rather than parking; it approved sign and façade packages for an Amoco rebrand and for Target, both subject to conditions (no LED light bands, monument sign replacing pylon, and variance requirements).
At its July 7 meeting the Livonia City Planning Commission took several routine but consequential actions.
- Fontainebleau parking rezoning tabled: Petition 2026‑06‑01 (Optolis Healthcare) to rezone the rear 25 feet of five parcels on Camden Avenue to add parking for the Fontainebleau health facility was tabled indefinitely after Commissioner Ventura and staff identified a public‑notice discrepancy: the sign on the property described a rezoning to commercial rather than parking. Staff recommended tabling so proper notice can be posted and procedural requirements satisfied.
- Amoco sign package approved with conditions: Baso Construction’s request to replace canopy, facade and freestanding sign faces at 29401 W. 7 Mile Road was approved with conditions that ban LED light bands and exposed neon, require a monument sign to replace the existing pylon, and require any additional signage to return for review; approval is subject to any variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
- Target sign package approved (rebranding): Kimley Horn’s request for five wall signs at Target (20100 Haggerty Road) was approved subject to conditions: adhere to the submitted package, no LED light bands or exposed neon, additional signage to return for review, and required variance(s) from the ZBA for excess signage.
All approved items will be forwarded to city council for final action where variances or waivers are required. Staff noted that permits and detailed plan approvals are still required before any installation or construction may proceed.
