THROUGH:
Mandy Grewal, Supervisor

FROM: 
Benjamin R. Carlisle, Township Planning Consultant

DATE:

March 25, 2020

SUBJECT:

Approve the First reading of ZOA #20-210, an Ordinance to Rezone a 10.14-acre parcel (L-12-29-400-011) located on the east side of State Road, north of Michigan Avenue, from PUD, Planned Unit Development to C-2, Regional Commercial


BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:

Approve the First reading of ZOA #20-210, an Ordinance to Rezone a 10.14-acre parcel (L-12-29-400-011) located on the east side of State Road, north of Michigan Avenue, from PUD, Planned Unit Development to C-2, Regional Commercial.

BACKGROUND:

The applicant is requesting to rezone a 10.14-acre parcel located immediately north of the Bill Crispin Chevrolet and Briarwood Ford dealerships at the northwest corner of E. Michigan Avenue and South State Road from PUD, Planned Unit Development to C-2, Regional Commercial. The property is currently vacant. The property was rezoned to PUD on November 24, 1998. A preliminary area plan is on file at the township demonstrating the proposed PUD would allow development of the site as another automobile dealership. This PUD area plan is expired and any new development would require a major amendment to the PUD (essentially a rezoning) or rezoning of the site to another zoning classification. The applicant is proposing a rezoning to rezone the site from PUD, Planned Unit Development to C-2, Regional Commercial.

 

The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 5, 2020. After holding a public hearing, considering the planners report, and considering public testimony, the Planning Commission approved the necessary resolutions of approval.  

 

The Planning Commission found that the rezoning standards have been met for the following reasons:

 

  1. The proposed C-2 zoning is consistent with the township Master Plan.

  2. The proposed C-2 zoning is complementary to the surrounding land uses.

  3. The proposed rezoning will not result in additional township services.

  4. Future development will require a site plan review by the Planning Commission to determine all other standards and township requirements are met.
