The Kalamazoo City Commission will hold a public hearing on proposed zoning updates for downtown Kalamazoo at its meeting on Monday, November 2. If approved, the updates would divide downtown from one large zoning district into three smaller and more focused districts. Multiple districts will allow for standards that support the right type and scale of development in each area while also being able to better link buildings and uses with streets and other public spaces. The goal of these updates is to create a zoning code that is clear and easy to understand, creates predictable outcomes for development, and ultimately help to achieve the community’s vision for Downtown.
