TROY PUBLIC HEARING CITY COUNCIL 7:30p.m.
NEW ZONING PROPOSED LAWS -
ALL NEIGHBORHOOD NODES VOTE TONIGHT.
Please come and show your support tonight, your presence is needed. It is at beginning of meeting, so you won't have to stay late.
Anyone remember after 2011 Ordinance form-based zoning was passed for Cluster developments and Neighborhood Nodes? - years of packed planning and council meetings full of residents not understanding why all these developments are now " by right" Why was our ability to be heard by Council being taken away? Let’s not do this again. Yes, a lot of hard work, hundreds of hours, and a lot of good information is found in 268 pages of proposed new laws, but does anyone understand the process and residents’ rights?
Form-Based Code - the zoning framework
Regulating Plan - map -assigns site types A, B, C
Site Type Upgrade - changing a parcel from lower to higher density category
Parcel Consolidation - combining parcels to enable larger development
By Right - development approved without 2nd public hearing at Council Level
Heights - 3 stories to 2 1/2 depending on Site-Type
Density - defined only by height, set-backs, and parking
MZEA - Michigan Zoning Enabling Act, Public Act 110 of 2006.
Delegation of Legislative Authority - Council is Legislative giving authority to an appointed body Planning Commission?
Administrative vs Legislative authority?
Planning Commission - administrative. Zoning changes - legislative.
Mastere Plan - inspirational - goals of the city- residents expect to be reduced to laws for protection
Ordinances - Law If not reduced to law then Does Not Need to be DONE
Notice -to anyone that doesn't know this will be heard tonight as a recommendation from Planning to approve as written

Save Troy Corners has stood in front of Planning & Council for r years regarding our corner at Square Lake and Livernois. Master Plan was revised to give description of each of our 15 Neighborhood Nodes. Those descriptions need to be backed up by laws to protect the vision that was laid out in our Master Plan. I see a bigger impact on most City Neighborhood Nodes if passed tonight as written. I am confident in our elected officials to do the right thing. They have always looked out for the residents. Looking out into the room and seeing residents backing them will add to that support. We want authority of major changes in development, which we believe to be "zoning changes” to still be heard from of our legislative body. City Council. Give them the final approval of zoning changes. I also want ordinances written that protect the vision laid out by our Master Plan.
This is for informational purposes only. No review has been made by an attorney. Please do your own research and show up tonight to give support.
The has been written in NO way to reflect badly on anyone in our City Offices or elected officials. We stand 100% with them in their work and efforts – we just don’t want to go through what happened after 2011. Save Troy Corners page is a great place to join and read the featured tab.
