ZBA 6-14-26

The City of Bay City, Michigan Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) held a meeting on June 14, 2026, primarily to consider a use variance request for a property at 1118 Delcoy Drive. The appellant sought authorization to establish a contractor establishment and storage on a property zoned R1, which typically does not permit such use. The discussion focused on site improvements including lighting, paving, fencing, and screening to mitigate neighborhood impact. The board deliberated on zoning standards, the property's unique circumstances, and conditions such as limiting parking to a designated hard surface area and requiring a dumpster enclosure. The board voted to enter closed deliberation and discussed conditions to maintain neighborhood character while allowing the variance. Additionally, updates on the new zoning ordinance adoption process were provided, noting a delay due to public hearing notice requirements. No direct contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the variance approval and site improvements could lead to future procurement related to construction and site work.
