Freep: Troy Proposes to Flex Zoning for the Future

Today's Detroit Free Press has a story by staff writer Tammy Stables Battaaglia stating...

Troy hopes to revamp its declining light-industrial area into a district with restaurants and businesses as well as make Big Beaver more pedestrian-friendly under the city's first zoning overhaul in 40 years. The proposed regulations will be discussed at the Planning Commission's meeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall. The commission plans at least one public hearing before making a recommendation to the City Council, which will hold a public hearing before voting. If approved, the regulations could be adopted in March or April, said Troy's acting planning director, Brent Savidant.

  1. I reviewed the agenda/ agenda packet for the tues 1/11 meeting. It looks likes they plan to distribute the proposed zoning changes tomarrow. The public comment meeting would be at a later date (???)

    I also reviewed the master plan and big beaver review that fuels the DDA.

    We need more goverment at the local, county, regional, state and federal level. More consultants too - You can never have enough studies rationalizing increased control.

    One of my biggest regrets is buying a house in an area without a subdivision association.
    My flowers don't match my neighbors - What un-sustainable Chaos !
