Ann Arbor Planning Commission Meeting 7/7/26

The Ann Arbor Planning Commission held its regular meeting on July 7, 2026, focusing primarily on the proposed rezoning and site plan for the Woodbury Gardens development. The commission reviewed a request to rezone approximately 41 acres to the TC1 Transit Corridor District with conditions limiting building heights, to allow construction of three seven-story multifamily buildings totaling 342 dwelling units and a five-level parking garage. The discussion included public comments expressing concerns about displacement of current residents, traffic impacts, and the appropriateness of the TC1 zoning designation. Staff recommended approval with conditions, noting the project aligns with the recently adopted comprehensive plan and includes sustainability commitments such as electric appliances and solar panels. The commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning and site plan to the city council. Additionally, the commission discussed procedural matters including election of officers, committee assignments, and upcoming work plan topics such as data centers and zoning updates.
