The town of Harbor Springs voters repealed Ordinance #439 and this decision will give our town back the right to Decide for ourselves as a community our future within the city, the developments, city density and any loss of oversight in zoning.
By holding town halls, library gatherings and in-person & ZOOM meetings, the voices of community can be heard about opinions, needs, and worries about what is being 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 to build new legitimate surveys that will ask the tough questions of the community to provide answers in deciding the towns future. Ask yourself the question – how do you imagine the City for your children and grandchildren?
Here below is the document WLHS provided the City Council and Planning Commission review in May 2024. This was written and presented before the Planning Commission and City Council changed the zoning.
Now with the November vote, and the repeal – the Planning Commission Chairman needs to explain to the community the premise of each of the zoning changes that will be discussed at these Town Halls and Listening Sessions. Are the reasons for change to build better living conditions, weather resiliency, infrastructure protections, visitors opinions, tourist attractions, downtown businesses expansion for more money into their pockets and the City coffers or reasons like property owners asking the zoning administer to attend to. Are these ideas for envisioning the future? Are they products of the people ? Changing dynamics or ? A sensible discussion might lead with ” the zoning reforms were based on our findings…”
