We Voted YES and repealed Ordinance #439 and this decision will give our town back the right – for the community of Harbor Springs – to Decide our future with city developments & city density and correct the loss of oversight in zoning.
By holding town halls, library gatherings and in-person & ZOOM meetings, the voices of community will be heard about their opinions, their needs, and their worries about what is planned in their neighborhoods.
It’s time now to organize the planning stages of building a new zoning code that reflects the Master Plan, the Community Surveys and build new legitimate surveys that will ask the tough questions of the community to provide answers in deciding the towns future.
Here is the document we provided on May 6th for City Council and Planning Commission review, while asking them to pause the approval til the community was contacted and engaged.
