Ann Arbor City Planning Commission Meeting 6/2/26

The Ann Arbor City Planning Commission held a regular meeting on June 2, 2026, focusing primarily on a proposed 10-story mixed-use development at 315 West Hon Street. The project includes 285 residential units with 15% affordable housing at 60% AMI, retail spaces including a coffee shop and a rooftop bar, and sustainability features such as a fully electric building and solar panels. The commission discussed zoning changes, supplemental regulations, parking, delivery management, and environmental considerations. Public comments raised concerns about historic preservation, building height, affordability, parking, and noise. The commission also reviewed and provided feedback on a draft Request for Proposals (RFP) for rewriting the city's zoning ordinance to align with the 2050 comprehensive land use plan. Key procurement-related discussions included the RFP scope, timeline, consultant qualifications emphasizing legal knowledge of Michigan planning laws, and public engagement strategies. Motions related to the development project and RFP feedback were passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with calendar updates and plans for upcoming educational sessions for commissioners.
