The proposed Zoning Ordinance establishes form-based zoning districts, creates new definitions, updates current zoning districts and creates new zoning districts. The update also establishes new regulations for landscaping, signs, and parking; updates permitted and special land uses; and revises the City’s zoning map to match the new ordinance text. The Subdivision Control Ordinance sets forth the procedures and requirements for platting of subdivisions in accordance with PA 288 of 1967 (The Subdivision Control Act), as amended.

The changes to the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances will implement land development goals established in the City’s Master Plan, which was adopted in 2019.
