PUBLIC HEARINGS

  1. LAIRDS GLASS, SP10-21

Public hearing of the request of Laird’s Auto Glass and Trim, Inc., for Special Land Use Permit and Preliminary Site Plan approval. The subject property is located in Section 24, on the north side of Grand River Avenue, east of Meadowbrook Road and west of Seeley Road, in the I-1, Light Industrial District. The subject property is approximately 1.6 acres and the applicant is proposing to locate an automotive service business in the existing building at 40850 Grand River Avenue.

In the matter of Laird’s Glass, SP10-21, a motion to approve the Special Land Use Permit for an automobile service business subject to the following: a. Planning Commission waiver of the required Noise Impact Statement is approved because no additional service bays are proposed and general automotive service is no louder than automotive glass repair; b. The conditions and items listed in the staff and consultant review letters being addressed on the Final Site Plan; and c. Submittal of an updated Hazardous Material Survey and Inventory with the Fire Department. This motion is made for the reasons that the Planning Commission finds that relative to other feasible uses of the site, the proposed expansion of automotive repair uses within the existing buildings on the site: a. Will not cause any detrimental impact on existing thoroughfares or the capabilities of public services and facilities; b. Is compatible with the natural features and characteristics of the land and adjacent uses of land; c. Is consistent with the goals, objectives and recommendations of the City’s Master Plan for Land Use; d. Will promote the use of land in a socially and economically desirable manner; e. Is (1) listed among the provision of uses requiring special land use review as set forth in the various zoning districts of this Ordinance, and (2) is in harmony with the purposes and conforms to the applicable site design regulations of the zoning district in which it is located. Motion carried 8-0.

In the matter of Laird’s Glass, SP10-21, a motion to approve the Preliminary Site Plan, subject to the applicant placing required notes on the Final Site Plan. This motion is made for the reasons that no changes are proposed to the existing site and it is otherwise in compliance with Article 19, Section 2400 and Article 25 of the Zoning Ordinance and all other applicable provisions of the Ordinance. Motion carried 8-0.
