Charter Township of Commerce Planning Commission Special Planning Commission Meeting
The Planning Commission held a special meeting to conduct a conceptual review of the Parkside Commons project, a proposed mixed-use development including a specialty grocery store, two retail buildings, and a car wash. Key discussion topics included the developer's proposal to donate approximately 50 acres of former golf course land to the Township for the expansion of Victory Park, wetland mitigation requirements, and the daylighting of Hayes Creek. The Commission and developer discussed concerns regarding traffic intensity at the intersection of Union Lake and Wise Roads, the potential for traffic signalization improvements, and the integration of drive-through components. The meeting also addressed site layout concerns, including dumpster placement, outdoor seating, and aesthetic standards for the development.
