ZONING MEETING JUNE 16 2026

The Southfield Zoning Board of Appeals convened on June 16, 2026, to consider variances related to signage requests for two commercial properties. The first case involved El Car Wash seeking variances for additional wall signs, a roof sign, and increased ground support sign square footage. After public comment and discussion, the board approved variances for the additional wall signs and ground support sign but denied the roof sign variance due to concerns about its impact on the zoning ordinance's intent. The second case concerned a new commercial building represented by Metro Signs and Lighting requesting variances for a multicolored electronic ground support sign exceeding height and size limits. The board granted these variances, noting the sign's consistency with the zoning district's character and safety considerations. Both cases emphasized compliance with city permitting processes moving forward. No other procurement or budget matters were discussed.
