Commerce Township board approves conditional rezoning for 46-unit Bogie Lake development
Summary
The Board voted to conditionally rezone seven parcels to R-1D for a 46-unit single-family site condominium development, approving related zoning-map changes after debate about traffic, density and community benefits.
The Charter Township of Commerce Board of Trustees on May 12 approved a conditional rezoning (PCZ#25-01) allowing a 46-unit single-family site condominium at Bogie Lake after discussion about traffic and public benefits.
Planning Director David Campbell introduced the petition, and developer representatives Jim Maher and Mike Noles said the project complies with the Township's Master Plan and includes a proposed dog park, sidewalks and on-site fire suppression. "This is compliant with the Township's Master Plan. The Master Plan calls for 49-50 units and we are proposing 46 units," Mike Noles said.
Trustee Robert Berkheiser raised concerns about density and peak-hour traffic, saying the first requirement of a conditional rezoning is that it "will benefit public interest" and questioned whether the dog park and other items satisfied that test. Interim Chair Rick Savel and others also expressed concern about density and secondary access.
The motion to approve PCZ#25-01 passed on a roll-call vote: Ayes — Weber, Phillips, Creech, Long, Gray; Nays — Berkheiser, Savel. Following the rezoning vote, the Board approved a companion amendment to the Zoning Map (Zoning Amendment Ordinance No. 3.068) to reflect the change.
The developer said additional on-site improvements would include pedestrian connectivity and sidewalks across the frontage; the Planning Commission had recommended approval. The Board record shows the conditional rezoning requires the developer to meet R-1D standards for the site.
