Status of Legislative Policy Divisiion submitting report and Proposed Ordinance to amend Chapter 14 of the 1984 Detroit City Code, Community Development, by adding Article XII, titled Community Benefits, which consists of Sections 14-12-1 through 14-12-7, to provide for the purpose and applicability of this article; to provide for definitions of terms used in this article; to require provision of Community Benefits and executed Community Benefits Agreements for certain development projects seeking public support for investment above certain threshold levels; to provide for exemptions for applicability of the article, and to provide for penalties and enforcement of the article. (On May 19, 2016, at the Planning and Economic Development Standing Committee meeting, the Law department stated that constitutional separation of powers issues preclude the Law Department from complying with this request. City Council’s Rule 15.1 states: “The Corporation Counsel shall approve all ordinances as to form prior consideration by the Council or Standing Committee unless approval is waived by the City Council.”) (BROUGHT BACK AS DIRECTED ON 5-26-16)
