Area, Height, Placement Changes Delayed

By

At its Oct. 4, 2010 meeting, the Ann Arbor city council postponed for two weeks changes to the city’s zoning code for areas outside the downtown, across most of the city’s zoning classifications. Not included in the changes to area, height and placement is the R4C zoning classification. The changes are intended to allow more compact use of land, preserve natural systems, accommodate new growth along transit corridors, and locate buildings to promote non-motorized access. Previous Chronicle coverage of the city planning commission’s deliberations on AHP changes: “AHP Zoning Revisions Go to City Council” The postponement came at the request of Marcia Higgins (Ward 4).
