Detroit City Council convened on May 1st, 2024, to discuss several land use proposals in various zoning districts across the city. The hearings, focusing on Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Special Land Use, addressed specific cases with proposed developments.
The first case presented was SLU2023-00133, concerning the address at 4190, 4194, and 4196 Bellevue St. The proposal aimed to "Develop an Urban Garden on existing vacant land in an M3 (General Industrial) Zoning District."
Following this, the council reviewed SLU2024-00022, which involved the address at 1308 Broadway St. The proposal sought to "Establish a Specially Designated Merchant’s (SDM) establishment on the first floor of a 3,888 square foot tenant space in an existing eight-story building in a B5 (Major Business) Zoning District."
Lastly, the council deliberated on SLU2024-00050, which centered around the address at 8637 Oakland Ave. The proposal aimed to "Convert a former mixed-use structure into a Two-Family Dwelling in a B4 (General Business) Zoning District."
These proposals were part of the city's ongoing efforts to revitalize and repurpose existing spaces in accordance with zoning regulations. The hearings provided an opportunity for stakeholders to voice their opinions and concerns regarding the proposed land use changes.
