E.L. City Council Meeting Preview

On Tuesday night the East Lansing City Council is planning to hold a public hearing regarding the rezoning of property on Lake Lansing Road. The rezoning of the land will allow for the construction of retail sales businesses as opposed to restricted office businesses which is what it currently is.

In technical terms, rezoning the property would change the land from B4 to B5 allowing varying businesses and retailers to occupy the space.

However, many in the surrounding neighborhood have voiced concern over the rezoning proposal citing the potential businesses would be a "nuisance." Thus the need for a public hearing in order to allow the Council to hear all sides in order to come to a final conclusion.

Also during the meeting, Council is expected to discuss the approval of bylaws for the previously established Michigan Avenue Corridor Improvement Authority, set for public hearing on December 21 to amended Brownfield Plan #10 for the Avondale Square (Virginia Avenue) Project and introduce an ordinance to create standards to allow Alternative Energy Generation Systems in the City of East Lansing.
