# November 10, 2026 Planning Commission Video

The City of Cedar Springs Planning Commission met on November 10, 2026. The commission approved an amendment revising zoning-ordinance criteria for site plan reviews and special land use approvals, including adding consistency with the master plan as a consideration for special land uses. It also voted to recommend an amendment to the City Council removing the co-location requirement for marijuana businesses in the Highway Commercial district. The discussion noted that the change could ease the difficulty of finding a second business to co-locate, and could affect the city’s collection of annual renewal fees; no specific contract or procurement action was taken.

Public comments raised questions about parking-plan requirements and concerns that zoning changes could burden long-standing property uses. Staff provided background on a potential special land use permit for 40 Pine Street, but no action was taken; it is expected to return for consideration after notice and further review. Staff also reported that the city was selected for an Opportunity Zone, which may attract developers through federal tax benefits, and discussed unpermitted renovation work at 178 West Muskegon. No contracts, bids, purchasing decisions, or spending approvals were identified.
