Summary

Joseph Murphy confirmed the zoning rewrite will include a permanent online zoning and future land use map with parcel-level details; staff will be responsible for keeping the map current and OHM Advisors will assist with initial build-out.

Royal Oak staff and consultants told the commission the project will produce a permanent interactive zoning map and future land use map as part of the zoning ordinance rewrite. Joseph Murphy said the city will host an online zoning map that provides parcel-level information and that staff will be responsible for maintaining current data.

Consultants said they will work closely with city GIS staff and Esri base layers to ensure accurate labels and mapping; commissioners asked for documentation and best-practice recommendations for ongoing maintenance and accountability for updates. "There'll be an online zoning map and future land use map," Murphy said, and OHM Advisors committed to coordinating with staff to resolve labeling and data issues before launch.
