Ann Arbor City Planning Commission Meeting 10/20/26

The Ann Arbor City Planning Commission’s regular meeting on October 20, 2026, covered zoning matters and a presentation on the city’s comprehensive stormwater management plan. The commission unanimously recommended that City Council approve rezoning 709 West Huron Street from PUD to Office and approve an area plan waiver, allowing continued office use and two apartments in the existing building; no new construction was proposed. The council report noted that rezoning and the associated site plan for 1310 Wisteria were denied, while Council approved a resolution initiating rezoning around Central Campus and approved vacation of right-of-way at 525 South State Street to return it to the University of Michigan.

Staff presented the stormwater plan as a long-term policy framework for managing drainage, flood risk, climate resilience, and infrastructure investments. It will inform future capital improvement planning, but the presentation did not propose a specific project budget or spending action; a stormwater rate study is anticipated in the next few years. Commissioners also discussed public engagement and timing for the Central Campus rezoning process. No procurement activity, contract awards, vendor selections, or bid approvals were identified.
