Board of Education - Regular Meeting

The Ann Arbor City Council approved a controversial rezoning request for a 0.95-acre parcel on South 5th Avenue from R4C multi-family dwelling and M1 limited industrial to D1 downtown core, allowing for a 14-story building. Public comment was largely opposed to the rezoning, citing concerns about density, flood plain impact, and lack of affordable housing, while council members supporting the change emphasized the need for increased housing supply and alignment with the city's comprehensive plan.
