Zoning Ordinances
		City of Wyandotte Upon completion and adoption of a new Master Plan in 2003, the City Council authorized a comprehensive review of the ordinance text and zoning district map. Wyandotte has strong neighborhoods that are very much involved with neighborhood preservation and improvement. The complexity of zoning issues favored community wide involvement initiated by the Planning Commission through workshop sessions with various sections of the community. A complete re-write of the existing zoning standards with particular emphasis on master plan effectuation was carried out to accompany the new zoning district map.
		City of Sturgis Vilican Leman prepared a complete new Zoning Ordinance in a format fully cross-referenced for ease of administration. The ordinance documents special land uses in detail providing specific standards for consideration by the Planning Board in its approval process. A key feature of the new Sturgis Zoning Ordinance is a design review section covering the Central Business District. This section establishes a design review committee of three members (one member from the Planning Board, one from the DDA and one member at large). The committee is advisory to the Planning Board on all new construction and remodeling, including signage in the CBD.
		City of Wixom The City of Wixom, named for the small cross roads business area and homes surrounding it, through pressure to preserve the historic character of its namesake undertook the preparation of a zoning district to preserve and enhance a sizeable area of the city as a traditional village center. The intent of the district includes residential neighborhoods, which are interconnected to all development by roadways and pedestrian ways, housing types & uses that are mixed and developed in close proximity to one another, civic buildings and civic squares, which provide places of assembly for social activities, recreation space with neighborhood greens, landscaped streets, boulevards, and parkways woven into roadway and block patterns, the location of dwellings, shops, and work places in close proximity to each other, and preservation of open space and natural areas.
