JULY 21, 2026 SOUTHFIELD ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING

The Southfield Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting on July 21, 2026, primarily to consider a variance request related to zoning regulations. The board reviewed case number 2615, which involved a request to waive the minimum front yard setback requirement to reconstruct an existing legal non-conforming ramp at 25428 Woodville Plaza. The variance sought was 18.5 feet, reducing the setback from the required 40 feet to 21.5 feet. The staff recommended approval with conditions, noting that the waiver would not substantially impair the ordinance's intent or negatively impact surrounding properties. The board unanimously approved the variance based on the staff's recommendation. No other cases were discussed, and the next meeting was scheduled for August 18, 2026.
