City of Plymouth Proposed 2022-2023 Budget - Flipbook - Page 289
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Description of responsibilities and services:
The City’s Community Development Department is the initial contact between the City,
developers and residents. It receives all development applications and supporting
materials. The department also assists developers with informational requirements and
procedures outlined in the zoning ordinance. The building official, fire marshal and other
inspectors review plans and visit the properties to ensure conformance with Plymouth
zoning, the Michigan Building Code, the Michigan Residential Code and/or state and
national trade codes.
The Plymouth Planning Commission is responsible for guiding and advancing the efficient,
coordinated development of the City in a manner that will promote the health, safety and
general welfare of its residents. They are the primary commission that reviews
development proposals to ensure that they adhere to the City’s master plan and zoning
ordinance while allowing a reasonable use of the property. The Planning Commission does
not review proposals for single-family or two-family residences.
The Zoning Board of Appeals hears variance requests from property owners or developers
who believe there are unique circumstances that limit the applicability of certain
requirements.
The Historic District Commission reviews and approves development in the Plymouth
Historic District. In general, properties surrounding or adjacent to Kellogg Park are within
the Plymouth Historic District.
