# Pontiac Planning Commission 10-06-26

The City of Pontiac Planning Commission met on October 6, 2026, to review zoning and site-plan applications; no public procurement, contract awards, or city spending decisions were identified. The commission postponed the requested rezoning of 450 Boyd Street from R1 to R3 until its December meeting, requesting more information about possible floodplain, wetland, or other environmental conditions. Residents raised concerns about drainage, neighborhood character, traffic, and notice; the applicant described a preliminary concept for 36 duplexes, but no site plan was before the commission.

The commission approved the special exception and site plan for tire storage and distribution at 20 Franklin Road, subject to conditions including no outdoor storage, semi-trailers, containers, or vehicles awaiting repair; site-plan conditions also addressed graffiti, the fire escape, fencing, and the dumpster gate. It approved a preliminary site plan for a gas station and convenience store at 382 Franklin Road with a parking waiver (nine spaces proposed versus 22 required) and conditions including right-in/right-out access from South Boulevard and combining the lots. A freight terminal for Moonstar Express at 1280 Joslyn Road, including a proposed 15,000-square-foot addition, received preliminary and final site-plan approval with a loading-area screening waiver. The commission also approved the final site plan for a gas station and packaged-alcohol retail facility at 939 Orchard Lake Road. These were land-use decisions for private developments, not municipal purchasing actions.
