APRIL 21, 2026 SOUTHFIELD ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING

The Southfield Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting on April 21, 2026, primarily to consider requests for waivers related to signage regulations. Two cases were reviewed involving appeals for variances from the city's sign ordinance. The first case involved a request to install wall signs on an industrial property where the appellant cited visibility challenges due to building placement and limited space for ground signs. The board approved the waiver based on staff recommendations and the appellant's commitment to secure all necessary permits and inspections. The second case concerned a waiver for a product price sign area and minimum height at a fuel station, with the appellant explaining updates to signage for better product advertising. This request was also approved following staff recommendations. The board discussed scheduling for upcoming meetings and the possibility of postponements due to member availability. No specific contract awards, budget allocations, or capital improvement projects were discussed during this meeting.
