# Ann Arbor City Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting 10/28/26

Ann Arbor Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, October 28, 2026: The board approved three zoning variance petitions; no procurement, contract awards, budget allocations, or purchasing actions were identified. For 700 North Main Street, it granted side- and rear-setback variances for a proposed 64-unit multifamily building. The discussion focused on floodplain and floodway constraints, reduced developable area, housing needs, and nearby residents’ concerns. The motion passed with six votes in favor, one against, and one abstention.

For 2250 Ann Arbor-Saline Road, the board unanimously approved 34 additional curb cuts to serve 37 proposed townhomes on a public street, citing the city’s requested street connection and potential neighborhood, pedestrian, bicycle, emergency-access, and public-service benefits. Residents raised concerns about traffic and neighborhood safety; the board clarified that it was considering the curb-cut variance, not approving the full site plan or road connection. The board also unanimously approved variances allowing three electronic message signs on the Michigan Theater marquee, replacing obsolete manual changeable-copy signs, subject to historic-district conditions limiting changes and animation. These were land-use and development decisions, not procurement activity.
