Mackinaw City Planning Commission Regular Meeting
The commission held a public hearing regarding an ordinance amendment for the Agricultural zoning district and discussed the proposed addition of warehousing and storage as a permitted use. The commission decided not to recommend adoption of this amendment to the Village Council. Other business included a discussion on simplifying permit review processes, exploring administrative approval options for site plans, and reviewing the Planning Commission's work matrix, which includes high-priority items like nonconformity regulations. Traffic flow concerns raised by a citizen were also discussed, with the consensus being to direct those concerns to the Village Council.
