GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- The City of Grand Rapids has produced a document providing information about some zoning text amendments.
The zoning ordinance is the legal document that codifies the laws that local units of government use to regulate the development and use of land.
The city says in a news release that some questions were asked at the city commission's Committee of the Whole meeting on April 9th.
Here is more information from that news release:
On March 19, the City Commission held a public hearing on a package of Zoning Ordinance text amendments intended to increase housing supply, diversify housing types and increase housing affordability. The text amendments focus on accessory dwelling units, unrelated occupants in a household, single room occupancy dwellings, transitional and emergency housing, small scale residential infill and changes to certain parking regulations.
During public hearings at the Planning Commission and City Commission meetings on the proposed zoning amendments, City staff heard several questions. We have compiled these questions, developed a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) document, and provided responses. These responses were developed in collaboration with multiple city departments. This document will be updated soon to address additional questions that were asked at today's April 9 Committee of the Whole meeting.

Formal ordinance consideration by the City Commission is set for Tuesday, April 23.
