PC Meeting 6-17-26

The City of Bay City Planning Commission held a meeting on June 17, 2026, primarily focused on site plan review and zoning ordinance updates. The commission approved a site plan for a new 18-space parking lot at 905 South Henry Street, including conditions for signage to ensure proper traffic flow. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing the comprehensive update of the 2026 zoning ordinance, which aims to streamline development processes, increase flexibility in land use, and support redevelopment readiness to qualify for state grants. Commissioners and the public provided detailed feedback on zoning standards, including minimum lot sizes, parking requirements, and accessory dwelling unit regulations. The commission agreed to forward the draft zoning ordinance to the city commission for final approval, with minor non-substantive corrections to be included in the transmittal. No direct contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the zoning updates could influence future development and procurement activities in the city.
