Title
An Ordinance to Amend Chapter 55 (Unified Development Code), Zoning of 5.23 Acres from TWP (Township) to PL (Public Land District), Vacant Traver Road (ORD-23-29)
Memorandum
This ordinance will zone 5.23 acres owned by the City at Vacant (a/k/a 2282 and 2290) Traver Road to PL (Public Land) district. The land was purchased from The William F. Hosford and Margaret W. Hosford Trust in 2020 for parkland purposes with funds from the Open Space and Parkland Acquisition Millage. The land is vacant, and adjacent to the corporate limits of the City of Ann Arbor, more specifically, adjacent to the Leslie Golf Course. It has been annexed in accordance the Michigan Home Rule City Act (MCL 117.9(8)) by resolution R-23-344 on 9/18/23. The land will be included with Leslie Park Golf Course and currently planned to be maintained as natural area.
The PL zoning designation is intended for publicly owned land used for public purposes. Only an ordinance to amend the UDC and its Zoning Map can change the zoning designation of any land, including land purchased, donated, or annexed into the City.
The proposed PL zoning designation is consistent and coordinates with adjacent zoning districts, the intent of the proposed zoning designation, the existing land use and the surrounding land uses, the Comprehensive Plan and policies.
