**Jurisdiction:** SLED

The City of Birmingham, Michigan, Board of Zoning Appeals held its regular monthly meeting (meeting title: 11.10.2026; metadata date: November 12, 2026). The Board approved the prior meeting minutes and heard zoning variance requests. It approved PL 26-24 for 1552 Bienville, granting a 1.76-foot variance for a new home and detached garage, citing the neighboring property’s pre-existing nonconforming projection and the applicant’s narrower design. It also approved PL 26-25 for 555 South Old Woodward, granting the requested signage variances, including additional sign area, illumination, and larger identification lettering; the motion passed despite objections from members concerned about permitting illuminated signs.

The Board approved variances A and B for PL 26-27 at 1548 North Lawn, covering a second-floor/porch addition to an existing home. PL 26-26 for 1291 Taunton was presented, but the supplied transcript does not record a decision. The 1250 Latham item had been postponed. No procurement, contract awards, purchasing decisions, or budget allocations were identified.
