10-13-26 Planning Commission

The City of Holland Planning Commission met on October 13, 2026, and approved several private development and land-use applications. It approved a site plan for a new 60-unit assisted-living facility at the Maplewood site; staff said the proposal met the PUD parking requirement, with a planned ratio of 0.54 spaces per unit against a 0.5 minimum. A resident voiced concern about demolition of the former church building on the site. The commission also approved a site plan for Phase 1B at 875 East 24th Street—28 homes comprising four single-family homes and 24 duplex homes—and an amended PUD agreement. Discussion confirmed that a future road connection remains part of the broader plan and may be coordinated with the planned reconstruction of 24th Street in 2029–2030.

The commission approved a six-month site plan for relocating and adapting two shipping containers for storage at 680 Washington Avenue, and approved a special land-use permit for a religious institution at 750 East 40th Street, using an existing building and parking lot. A one-year extension request for Country Club One’s previously approved site plan was discussed, but the transcript does not capture a decision. No public procurement, contract awards, or government spending actions were identified; the votes concerned land-use and site-plan approvals.
