City of Saginaw Planning Commission November 26, 2024

The City of Saginaw Planning Commission held a regular meeting on November 26, 2024, primarily focused on a zoning change request for 2419 MAA from B1 (business) to R3 (medium density residential) to accommodate a proposed daycare center. The applicant, Betty Nash, presented her qualifications and the need for the daycare in the community, highlighting her five-star rated program and plans to serve children aged 0 to 13. Concerns were raised by a resident regarding traffic safety, parking, and neighborhood impact, but commissioners discussed and addressed these issues, including traffic flow and parking capacity. The commission voted to approve the zoning change, with discussion about correcting orphaned zoning parcels in future ordinance updates. No formal traffic study was conducted for this request. The meeting concluded with public comments and adjournment.
