Submitting report relative to Request of the City of Detroit Housing and Revitalization Department to amend Chapter 61, Zoning, Article XVII, Map No. 43 for the rezoning of 39 lots in the general area bounded by West Grand Boulevard, Vinewood Avenue, Michigan Avenue and the Michigan Central railroad (including the former Detroit fire station located at 3396 Vinewood Avenue) to show an SD2 (Special Development District, Mixed - Use) where the land is currently zoned R2 (Two - Family Residential District) M2 (Restricted Industrial District), and M4 (Intensive Industrial District) - (RECOMMEND APPROVAL). (Great Lakes Coffee Roasting Company proposes to convert the fire house to living and office space on the upper level and to establish coffee roasting, a commercial kitchen, a bar and tasting room on the lower level - a mixture of residential, commercial, and light industrial uses. Such a combination of uses would be prohibited under the current R2 zoning but permitted under the proposed SD2.) (REFERRED TO THE PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STANDING COMMITTEE ON 5-12-16)
