Gentle readers, it's #a2Council night in Ann Arbor. Here's the agenda.
The meeting kicks off with a scant, 4 item consent agenda. The spiciest chili of the evening is CA-3, the resolution to Approve the Distribution of Proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan. This has been years in the making, and while it may not have everything I wanted to see, it's a huge improvement over the status quo. I hope it passes.
There are three public hearings on the agenda this evening. PH-1/B-1 is on the Woodlawn Rezoning. It's pretty small, rezoning 0.11 acres form Parking to C1, but it's always great to get rid of parking.
PH-2/B-2 is the second reading of an ordinance that makes some minor changes to the rules for boards and commissions.
PH-3/B-3 is this evenings second most-spicy chili. It's the Crescent re-zoning. This will rezone 4.16 Acres from O (Office District) to R4E (Multiple-Family Dwelling District) at 2525 Ann Arbor-Saline Road. Currently this is a undeveloped field behind Whole Foods. Hopefully this goes forward. It would be great to see housing for 262 more families come to an abandoned field. B-4 is the resolution for the site plan for the Crescent.
There are 4 ordinance first readings on the docket this evening. C-1 is for a routine township island rezoning for 1 acre at 1155 Arlington Blvd to R1A. Yay for rezoning township islands, but R1A is tragically low density. This should be R1E at least. C-2 is another routine township island rezoning. It rezones 5.7 acres at 2600 Pontiac Trail to R4A. See how easy it is to add a little density, C-1? C-3 changes the school buffer rules around Marijuana Businesses. C-4 is the first reading of an ordinance to amend some of the rules around trees and other vegetation.
On to the resolutions. DC-1 and DC-2 are resolutions to make board appointments. DC-3 is a resolution to rescind and Approve a Subrecipient Agreement with United Association of Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 190 to Lead Workforce Development as Part of the U.S. Department of Energy District Geothermal Grant. DC-4 is a resolution to recognize the Howard Hanna Children's Free Care Fund of Michigan as a Civic Nonprofit. And finally, DB-1 revises Planning Commission Bylaws.
