Lansing, MI 48933
Dear President Robinson and Council Members:
The Lansing City Charter requires that the question of a general revision of the Charter
be placed before the voters this November. I have prepared the attached resolution for
your consideration.
You will notice that the resolution calls for the election of a Charter Commission at the
same election. The Home Rule City Act (HRCA) requires that if the revision proposal is
adopted, a Charter Commission must be elected within 60 days. This would be
impossible, as the first opportunity under current Michigan Election Law would be the
end of February 2012. The HRCA does permit the Council by a 3/5 vote (5 Council
Members) to hold the elections simultaneously. If the Charter revision question fails, the
election of the Charter Commission would be void.
I look forward to discussing this with you.
Sincerely,
(L/kA

BY THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
WHEREAS, on November 8, 1978 the citizens of the city of Lansing adopted a new City

WHEREAS, the Home Rule City Act requires the election of a 9 member Charter
Commission within 60 days of an affirmative vote of the electorate on such a question and
permits the City Council by a 3/5 vote to provide for the election of the Charter Commission
at the same election;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the proposal of whether the 1978 City
Charter should be subject of a general revision shall be submitted to the qualified electors

as follows:

this Resolution.

nominated in accordance with state law shall be placed on the ballot without party affiliation
designated, and that the nine (9) candidates having the greatest number of votes shall be
declared elected.

City Council President Robinson and Members of the Lansing City Council
Lansing, MI 48933
Dear President Robinson and Members of Council:
I have previously recommended an amendment to the Lansing City Charter requirement

that the City Council must meet weekly at least 50 times a year. Other major cities in
Michigan (with the exception of Detroit) require meetings only twice a month. Each of those
cities is able to perform its required responsibilities in the time allotted in their city charters.
The City of Lansing would significantly save money from its budget in security, utility, and
payroll expenses if our City Charter was more in line with cites that meet twice monthly. In
these tough economic times, it is fiscally responsible to seek as many ways as possible to
save the taxpayers money.
The process to amend the Charter is controlled by the Michigan Home Rule City Act, PA
279 of 1909, and can be initiated by a 3/5 vote of Council (5 members). I have drafted the
attached resolution for your consideration.
Sincerely,
ris Swope, CM

BY THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
WHEREAS, Article 3, Chapter 2, Section 20t, Subsection 1 (3-201.1) of the Lansing

City Charter provides, among other things, that the City Council shall meet weekly at
least 50 weeks a year at such times and places as shall be stated in the Council rules;
and,
WHEREAS, the City Council has found and determined that there is no need for 50
weekly meeting each year; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council believes it is advisable to provide for and require two
regular meetings a month, and,
WHEREAS, the Lansing City Charter already provides for the ability to hold additional
special meetings pursuant to Article 3, Chapter 2, Section 202 (3-202.1 et. seq.)
WHEREAS, to accomplish this modification of its meeting schedule an amendment to

the Lansing City Charter is required to be considered by the electors of the City; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Lansing will hold a General Election on November 8, 2011;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Lansing,
pursuant to the authority of the Home Rule Cities Act (Act 279 of Michigan P.A. of 1909,

its members elect, hereby proposes that the following amendment to Article 3, Chapter
2, Section 201, Subsection 1 (3-201.1) of the Lansing City Charter be submitted to the
electors of the City for adoption or rejection at the General Election on November 8,
2011:

"The City Council shall meet weekly at least 50 weeks a year, at such times and
places as shall be stated in the Council rules. The public shall have a reasonable
opportunity to be heard."
The proposed amendment would cause Article 3, Chapter 2, Section 201, Subsection 1
(3-201.1) to read as follows:
"The City Council shall meet at least twice each calendar month, at such times and
places as shall be stated in the Council rules. The public shall have a reasonable
opportunity to be heard.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that in accordance with the Home Rule Cities Act (Act
279 of the Public Acts of 1909, as amended, being specifically MCL 117.21), the
question shall be captioned and stated on the ballot substantially as follows:
"PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE 3, CHAPTER 2, SECTION 201,
SUBSECTION 1 (3-201.1) OF THE LANSING CITY CHARTER.
The purpose of this amendment is to change the requirement that the City Council meet
weekly at least 50 weeks each year, and require, instead, that it meet at least twice a
month.
Shall this amendment be adopted?
YES ( ) NO ( )."
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby directed and authorized to,
in accordance with Act 279 of P.A. 1909, as amended, transmit a copy of this
resolution and the roll call vote on it, along with a copy of the proposed amendment to
the Governor of the State of Michigan for approval and a copy to the Attorney General
for approval as to the form in which the proposal shall be presented to the electors.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby authorized to cause the
above proposal to be placed on the ballot at the election to be held on November 8,
2011.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the ballot wording is hereby certified to the City
Clerk for submission to the City's electors at election to be held on November 8, 2011.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby directed to give notice of the
election and notice of registration therefore in the manner prescribed by law and to do
all things and to provide all supplies necessary to submit the ballot proposal to the vote
of the electors as required by law.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that in accordance with the law, the City Clerk shall post
the proposed Charter amendment in full in each polling place.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the canvass and determination of the votes of said
question shall be made in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan and the
Charter of the City of Lansing.

NEW BUSINESS
Naturalization of Parks
Jemerson stated at the budget meeting last night he and Chad Gamble discussed the naturalization of parks as a
means of reducing the mowing in the parks. The first meeting has been held with Pubic Service to discuss
naturalization, which is basically not mowing certain areas of parks. Public Service came up with some parks and
suggestions.
Jemerson stated he informed Public Service he. wanted to discuss this proposal with the Park Board and the parks
involved. One thing missing from the Public Service list of parks is the element of community involvement and some
of the parks Public Service mentioned are not connected with the community, however others are. For example
Beck Park; Beck Park is located between Northrup and Miller Streets and has two areas. The south end has
playground equipment, benches, and a lot of activity. Public Service suggested mowing the south end where the
equipment is and letting the north end go "natural", however there is a BeCk Park Friends Group. Jemerson stated
he is not in favor of letting this park go "natural" because the friends group has plans for both sides of Beck Park.
Another example was Ingham Park which has a wood lot area and it has been mowed under the trees for some
time. Jemerson stated this park has a neighborhood group and this park has been mowed for a certain reason.
Public Service also suggested Davis Park, which has two sides and a drive between the two sides. It was
discussed to stop mowing in the middle, which is questionable. Again there is a Friends of Davis Park group and
the South Lansing Community Development Association (SLCDA). The SLCDA has created a master plan for
Davis Park, which did not include naturalization of the park.
Jemerson stated the first meeting was held on Monday, April 11 to review the suggested parks. One example of a
naturalized park is Washington Park where the ash trees were removed. He will be sending the Park Board
Lansinq Park BoardMinutes -April 13, 2011 Paqe 2
members the list of suggested parks to receive back board member input and ideas on parks to naturalize.
Jemerson stated everything is very conceptual at this point.
Kibbey inquired if the board members could expect a list of parks soon. Jemerson stated yes, he would put a list
together for them.
Kibbey stated letting a park grow wild is not naturalization. Naturalization is a restoration of native species, which
takes a lot work with described burns, different plants with an immediate succession of species and a series of
varieties that will come in after this until you get a relative stable population.
Fancher stated this does not happen overnight. You have to continue the controlled burns, you have to plant the
natural flowers and it is expensive, but well worth it, if you want to spend the money to actually naturalize the park.
However, if we are just trying to stop mowing it is not naturalization.
Spitzley stated when you do not mow you allow the introduction of invasive species which is not naturalization. She
also would like to know when and if the tide turns, how much will it cost to bring the area back to useable . space or is
the naturalization in perpetuity? Will it have an end date and if so, we need to look at the cost and what it will take to
restore the park or area back to useable space.
Fancher stated if the grass is allowed to go wild you need to think about the liter that will collect in the grass, what it
will do to the character of community and how it will have an effect on the neighborhood and the values of the
properties.
Spitzley commented she is not against the proposal and in regard to Ingham Park there is a reason why the wooded
area has been cleared, which is to minimize crime and the criminal element that is there in addition to the litter. She
would like to know if this needs to be more than Public Service and Parks, but also include LPD and receive their
input regarding public safety.
Kibbey stated in these areas drugs will be stashed, people dump couches and mattresses and there is more to this
than the mowing issues.
Jemerson stated when he was director in Flint, which has gone through worse situations than Lansing, it was called
systematic neglect.
Fancher stated when we, as a City, decided to have systemized neglect of the golf courses we paid the price for it in
the media and we may want to think about that. With all the press Waverly received when we refused to take care
of the property as the law states we should, there are citywide, county and township ordinances we need to think
about as well.
Kibbey stated right now we mow with a lawn mower and high grass needs to be cut with a brush hog. Maybe it
would make sense to bring in a brush hog a couple of times a year and take the weeds down. He also stated he
walked past Sycamore Park and noticed all the trees had tire rings around them. There is one of two things which
cause this; one they are spinning the mower against and around the tree or two they are mowing when it is wet.
This did not happen when Parks staff was mowing and who ever is in charge of mowing need to train the operators.
Loft stated Waverly and Red Cedar Golf Courses are not exactly shining examples of the "naturalization" process.
Spitzley stated there has to be a middle of the road between willful neglect and naturalization, which true
naturalization will cost money. Are there partnerships we do with schools, garden clubs, etc so that some real
naturalization could happen? We will eventually want to use these parks and there will need to be a clean up
process which will cost money. We will save now, but down the road will the argument be it is cost prohibitive and
we just lost the park area.
Fancher stated that is what has happened with the golf courses and she feels the answer to Pat's question has
been forthcoming. She agrees it is a great idea to reach out to schools, both private and public and it is a much
better idea than to let it go wild.
LansingPark Board Minutes - April 13, 2011 Page 3
Virginia Crump suggested using a large 580 mower and not weed whip to eliminate time and one staff person. Also,
involve residents who back up to a park to mow an area behind each house.
Kibbey stated we need to involve groups such as Rails to Trails. He also asked why it is never on the agenda to
repurpose Waverly and Red Cedar Golf Courses.
OLD BUSINESS

Kids Camp and the two enterprise funds-Golf and Cemeteries.
Administration asked the department heads to show their 20% reduction from each cost center. In Administration
(10 series) the change was made to the Landscape Architect position which no longer is paid out of the general
fund, but is paid out of the park millage. Administrative Support (11 series) is now included in the administration
cost center.
Forestry (21 series) consists of the money provided to the city's contractor, Public Service. The change in this cost
center is stump removal will no longer be included, instead permits will issued by the City so the citizen may remove
the stump. Tree trimming will be done on an as needed basis, instead of a schedule cycle. They will make sure
trees are trimmed at the regulation height on sidewalks, trees interfering with wires and signs and limbs hanging
over boulevards.
Fancher inquired if we have considered putting out an RFP to Ingham County Parks. Jemerson stated Ingham
County does not perform tree trimming, they contract those services.
Spitzley inquired if we could contract with a company for stump removal. She indicated when you normally contract
with a company or you have given someone a pot of money there is a value study done to ensure you receive the
most bang for your buck. She recalls the Park Board trying to figure out some benchmarks and some actual
numbers of what the Parks Department is getting for the money being transferred to Public Service, instead of
Public Service stating they are not going to do x, y and z when Parks is giving them money.
Fancher stated Public Service is the Parks contractor and if we are not happy with the service we need to go out to
bid. If Public Service is not performing for the money being received, Parks needs to look elsewhere.
Jemerson inquired how important is stump removal to the board.
Fancher stated it is not only stump removal; it is the overall whole package. This includes stump removal, rings
being mowed around the trees, the naturalization of parks, it is everything.
Spitzley stated it is a symptom of a bigger problem. The board has asked questions and asked Public Service to
come back and report to the board on what is being done with the money provided, so when Public Service comes
back and states they can not do the tree trimming the board will know what is being done instead. Right now the
board has no basis to make a decision and it is unfair and unreasonable to ask for a decision with no base line to
base it on.
Lansing Park Board Minutes - April 13, 2011 Page 4
Loft stated as part of the decision making process if we are contracting out with Public Service we should have input
in the things Public Service are doing or not doing in the parks. If Public Service is making the decision and
bypassing the Parks Department and the Park Board completely we should not have the 15% reduction, the board
should at least have the chance to provide some input on what the priorities are in the park system.
Kibbey stated he asked a friend on the Public Service Board, since they are somewhat Parks Department now, is
there a policy component to inform the discussion. Are there park members on the Public Service Board, is the
Park Board receiving information and where is the public in this discussion. This arrangement has not produced the
results the Park Board has asked for.
Jemerson asked the board members to think about Ron's comment in terms of priorities.
Jemerson continued to review the cost centers. Grounds and Landscape is another cost center (22) which was
reduced. A management agreement has been entered into with Ingham County to maintain 25 parks with 5 acres or
less and 15 parks along the River Trail. The River Trail is a regional asset and the county agreed to take on the
maintenance of these parks for $200,000.
Pools and athletic fields (24 cost center) have been reduced by proposing to close Moores Park Pool. However this
depends on the park millage, which is proposed to subsidize cemeteries and golf. If cemeteries and golf go to
private management and the subsidizes are reduced there will be money to do the repairs to Moores Park Pool and
the utilities and staff involved in the operation of the pool.
The 30 series is the administration of Leisure Services and the only change is the 10% salary reduction for the
Leisure Services Manager.
The 31 series now consists of both the 31 and 38 series, which is the community centers and the school enrichment
programs.
The 32 series is Lifetime Sports and now includes Kellie's salary from the 31 series. This includes adult sport
leagues and youth programs consisting of soccer, flag football, softball, baseball, and floor hockey.
Special Recreation is the 33 series and includes the pools, which has a reduction for the closure of Moores Pool. It
also includes Hunter Park Pool staff, Therapeutic Recreation, Kids Camp, 4th of July Parade, Mayor's Riverwalk
Mother/Son & Daddy/Daughter dances, contractual services for the pools.
Fancher inquired how much does it cost for the Mayor's Riverwalk and Mother/Son & Daddy/Daughter dances.
Jemerson stated a lot of cost for the Mayor's walk is covered by donations.
Turner Dodge (36 cost center) has had a reduction in TEA staff cost.
Spitzley inquired if Ingham County would maintain Turner Park. Jemerson stated yes, the parks which are listed
under the proposed River Trail Authority are parks which are not heavily programmed or programmed at all.
Fancher inquired if this is a different way to divest our park property to someone else. The list includes 15 parks
which will be dedicated by a non-existent River Trail Authority, 6 parks taken care of by other individuals, 8 parks
and undedicated park property to dispose of; which looks like 52% of the parks will be taken care of by others, given
away or disposed of. Jemerson stated we do not have the staff we used to have and we can not maintain 114
parks; we need to have a system to reduce the maintenance of 114 parks and this is an attempt to reduce the
maintenance.
Fancher asked if she was correct in her thought process is that we have the staff to maintain the parks, but instead
of putting our resources and staff into maintaining our park system we are taking the money and paying enterprise
funds elsewhere. It's not that we do not have the money; the city is choosing to pay for something other than the
property we own.
Spitzley stated she is not opposed to having an authority, but she wants to know why we can't do the same
management agreement with Turner Dodge as was done with Fenner by turning it over to the friends.
LansinqPark BoardMinutes - April 13, 2011 Page 5
Fancher disagreed and stated these are our parks, our city money has paid for them, they are for the benefit of our
city, we need to take care of them, we need to own them and we need to make our city great with them. We have
already closed two golf courses, one has become private, we are trying to get rid of the cemeteries, we are closing
one pool, we are contracting out 52% of the parks and what is next.
Jemerson stated the 37 series is Fenner Nature Center. The Friends of Fenner has changed to the Fenner
Conservancy and have changed their advisory board to an executive board. They are raising revenue to pay for the
executive director, but the city does supply money to pay for temporary employee staff.
Kibbey inquired if we are still maintaining the Fenner building and mowing for the property. Jemerson stated yes.
Jemerson stated we are considering private management for golf and cemeteries. At this time one proposal has
been received for the cemeteries, which came from StoneMor. Jemerson stated he has reviewed the proposal, but
can not comment on it at this time. There were 6 proposals received for the management of the golf course.
Kibbey stated there was discussion recently about a review committee for the proposals for golf and cemeteries
which involved users and others with an interest in the issue and how are we going to proceed on this.
Jemerson stated if we do proceed on golf, we are looking at providing a copy of all the proposals received and
sending them to the National Golf Foundation, who will be paid to look at the proposals, interview the city, put
together a scoring criteria and make a recommendation. They will provide information on all the management firms
in regard to past performances. Once the recommendation is received, in accordance with the purchasing rules, an
internal group will get together to review the recommendation.
Kibbey inquired who is in the internal group. Jemerson stated the group will consist of himself, Jason Crocker,
Parks Golf Supervisor; Jerry Ambrose; Scott Keith, LEPFA Manager; and Doug Kelly, Director of Golf for Ann Arbor.
Kibbey stated he knows it is possible under the current purchasing rules for there to be citizen involvement in the
process and sit on the review committee. This allows for a different set of concerns outside of internal city
personnel and golf professionals and was a useful process in educating citizens who have other responsibilities for
the site and including additional items on the review list. It greatly enhanced the credibility of the recommendation
because it became an open process.
Jemerson inquired if the Park Board would like to have a member on the committee. Spitzley commented she found
it amazing that there is not a Park Board member on the committee. Fancher commented about adding a member
from the Bancroft Park Friends Group.
Kibbey stated he would like to have a member from the Park Board, a Lansing resident who is familiar with golfing
and a Friends member.
Fancher made a motion to add a Park Board member and at least two members from the public to the
recommendation committee for the golf course management recommendation committee. Seconded by Spitzley.
Motion carried. 5 yeas; 0 nays
Kibbey inquired where we stand with the cemeteries. Jemerson reported there is one proposal and he has not
heard what the plan is for only one proposal.
Spitzley inquired how many management companies this was sent to. Jemerson stated at least 8 or 9.
Kibbey stated in his experience when only one proposal is received you re-bid. If it is going to be re-bid he would
like to ask for the same consideration for cemeteries as is being done for golf.
Fancher made a motion to add a Park Board member and at least two members from the public to the
recommendation committee for the cemetery management recommendation committee. Seconded by Spitzley.
Motion carried. 5 yeas; 0 nays

LansingParkBoardMinutes -April 13, 2011 Page 6
Kibbey asked the Board's permission for the department to do some research on the pre-sale of lots to raise
sufficient cash to obviate the need to withdraw from the park millage fund. If enough cash was generated to fill the
hole, the time could be used to develop a sustainability plan.
Spitzley commented she liked the idea because the use of park millage money is a one time fix. Fancher stated she
is in favor of this and inquired if there is on-going maintenance fees associated to the grave sites.
Julie Mannino stated it is part of the lot sale. Currently the city has a resident price of $600 and a non-resident price
of $900, the price will increase to $1,600 for residents and $2,400 for non-residents if anything other than the
standard headstone is used.
Spitzley asked for an estimate of how high the fees would go if the cemetery was taken over. Julie Mannino stated
the fees for StoneMor are $1,425 for a single grave.
UPDATES
Splash Pad - Jemerson stated this was voted on last year and is funded through the park millage. The
architectural engineering firm has provided a cost estimate, which is a little higher than the money we have. They
are putting together specifications to go out to bid on the project. The maintenance on this project will be one staff
person checking on the filtration system. Fancher inquired how much is budgeted for the project; Jemerson stated
$349,000.
Kibbey stated one of the issues which has come to his attention is the pre-sale of lots at the cemeteries has been
held up because we have been unable to obtain a survey. Could there be some money used from the $349,000 to
pay for an actual survey to allow for the sale of lots.
Fancher inquired how much it would cost to repair Moores Park pool. Jemerson stated the staffing is $100,000, as
well as the actual cost of the repair of the filter which is estimated at $190,000. There is $150,000 available from the
budgeted amount for the renovations to the locker rooms at Hunter and Moores. However, Public Service said with
the repair of the filter system we would also have to address the issue of draining the pool correctly and that would
create an additional cost over and above the filter system.
Fancher stated she has a hard time supporting a new splash pad, when we are talking about closing down Moores
Park pool. She has a hard time putting in something new, when we can not afford to maintain the facilities we have.
Spitzley stated the splash pad was approved before she was on the Board, however she can not understand putting
in the splash pad when Moores Pool is in danger of not opening.
Kibbey asked for a presentation at the next meeting on the cost of repairing and opening Moores Pool as opposed
to the splash pad.
Jemerson stated money has been spent on the for the splash pad, plans have been designed and construction
specifications have been prepared to go out to bid. Spitzley stated the money which has been spent is on the plans
and the plans will keep; she would hate to get as far as putting it out to bid.
Burchard Park - Jemerson reported the silos are coming down. The bid came in at $14,000.
River Trail Repair - There is a contractor and repairs should begin in a couple of weeks.
Kibbey stated at the next meeting we will look at the splash pad and he would like a report from Public Service. He
would like discussion from the board of some criteria to give staff regarding parks considered for disposal.
Jemerson inquired what the Board's thoughts would be on giving the park land back to the schools. Fancher stated
it would be easier for people to give the park land back to schools for playgrounds than it would be to sell the park
land.
Lansing Park Board Minutes - April 13, 2011 Page 7
Spitzley commented in order for the Board to make an informed decision we need information and all the Board is
receiving is what can not be done. As we go through this process and the hard choices that need to made, give the
Board the tools to make the choices.
Fancher asked for an update on Red Cedar at the next meeting and Kibbey asked for an update on Sycamore.
Jemerson stated there is a conservation easement on Sycamore. Kibbey asked for material on conservation
easements.

WORK PLAN REQUEST

The City of Lansing Brownfield Redevelopment Authority has submitted a work plan
request seeking approval of approximately $314,858 of local tax capture for the 1621
E. Michigan Ave. brownfield project.
There will be approximately $210,650 in brownfield TIF eligible activities performed

on the site with potential to be reimbursed through Local Tax Capture over 20 years.
Revolving Loan Fund Use:

In an effort to increase the viability of the LBRA will commit $150,000 of Brownfield
Local Site Remediation Fund (RLF) monies to be made available to perform
demolition, environmental clean up, and site preparation activities. RLF funds will be
repaid to the LBRA through TIF capture on the site. Repayment of RLF funds will
take precedent over all other reimbursement request made by the developer. The
LBRA will collect 2% interest on these funds.
Brownfield Tax Base:

The brownfield plan will utilize the 2011 base year taxable value of $78,700.
PROJECT ELIGIBILITY:
The property has been deemed a "Facility," due to environmental contamination. The
project is the subject to Brownfield plan approval by the Lansing Brownfield
Redevelopment Authority Board of Directors on May 6, 2011.
OVERALL APPLICATION PACKAGE:
Local TIF; as well as Michigan Business Tax Brownfield Credits
TAX CAPTURE BREAKDOWN

There are 61.5399 mills available for capture, local millage equaling 37.6137 mills
(61%). The recommended tax capture breaks down as follows: See attached
document at end of memo.

Briefing Memo
City of Lansing
5/6/2011
PROJECT REVIEW:
a) The overall benefit to the public:
This project will require the demolition of an abandoned gas station which
has been an underperforming asset and community eyesore for
approximately three (3) years. Due to tax foreclosure the property came
under the ownership of the Ingham County Treasurer and Land Bank in
spring 2010. The project will serve as a true catalyst for Michigan Ave. as
it is the first large scale mixed-use construction that has occurred in many
years..
b) The extent of reuse of vacant buildings and redevelopment of blighted

property:
The vacant and woefully maintained building will be demolished and the
contaminated property will be put back to use for new construction.
c) Creation of jobs:
The project is anticipated to create a number of new jobs once the retail
spaces are occupied, however it is premature to speculate on the exact
job creation figures at this time. Current retail inquiries have suggested
8-10 new jobs.
d) Whether the eligible property is in an area of high unemployment:
Unemployment Rates for Feb. 2011 (Not seasonally adjusted):
Lansing City - 12.2%

State of Michigan - 10.4 %
National Average - 9.0%
Local unemployment exceeds the national and state rates.
e) The level and extent of contamination alleviated by the qualified taxpayer's

eligible investment to the extent known to the qualified taxpayer:
Redevelopment of the site will include the removal of underground

storage tanks that have been responsible for environmental
contamination in the past. The site will be prepared through due care
activities that will allow for the development of a mixed use residential
and retail building.

Briefing Memo
City of Lansing
5/6/2011
f) The level of private sector contribution:
The developer will invest approximately $1,130,000 (excluding

purchase price) towards this development.
g) The cost gap that exists between the site and a similar greenfield site as
determined by the Michigan Economic Growth Authority:
No greenfield sites were considered.
h) If the qualified taxpayer is moving from another location in this state,

whether the move will create a brownfield:
The qualified taxpayer is not moving from another location.
i) Whether the financial statements of the qualified taxpayer indicate that it is

financially sound and that the project is economically sound:
The developer has received preliminary financing commitments.
OTHER STATE AND LOCAL ASSISTANCE:
EPA Environmental Site Assessment Funds
RECOMMENDATION:
The Lansing Brownfield Redevelopment Authority recommends approval of a

Brownfield TIF Capture Plan not to exceed $314,858 or 20 years, whichever
comes first.

The 0.13 acre brownfield project area, hereinafter referred to as "the property," contains
a one story building constructed in 1992 and intend for use as a mini-mart station
totaling 570 s.f. The Property was foreclosed upon by Ingham County in Spring of 2010
and at the time had not been operational for several years. The building has been
poorly maintained and fallen into a state of disrepair. Due to its former use as a gas
station the property has become environmentally contaminated to criteria which qualify
the site as a "facility."

4. The Lansing Brownfield Redevelopment Authority
In August of 1997, the Lansing City Council established the Lansing Brownfield
Redevelopment Authority (LBRA) and designated the entire City as a "Brownfield Zone".
The primary purpose of the LBRA is to encourage the redevelopment of blighted,
contaminated and functionally obsolete property within the Brownfield Zone by providing
financial incentives.

7. Captured Taxable Value and Tax Increment Revenues
The LBRA will capture the tax increment revenues from 2011 through 2040 which will
be generated by the increase in taxable value. The table in "Schedule 1 - Detailed
Financial Numbers" provides a summary of the anticipated taxable value and the tax
increment revenue which it will provide.
Per P.A. 328, MCL 125.2652 Definitions. Sec. 2. (u).The captured incremental taxable
value and associated tax increment revenue will be based on the actual 2011 base
value of the Property. Furthermore, the amount of tax increment revenue available
under this Plan will be based on 90% of the actual millage levied annually by each local
taxing jurisdiction. All local taxing units will experience an increase in property tax
revenue that when totaled is equivalent to 10% of the increase in tax revenue of the
property.
Method of8.Brownfield Plan Financing
The costs associated with eligible activities, listed in Section 6 (Items 1-3) will be initially
paid for by the Developer and/or the LBRA - RLF. The Developer and/or LBRA-RLF will
be reimbursed for these costs by the LBRA utilizing 85% of the total local taxes
captured from the project over the twenty (20) years of this Plan. The current estimated
amount of capture used to reimburse the Developer and/or LBRA-RLF over the 20 year
period is $210,650. If the actual capture is less than that projected in this Plan, the total
amount of reimbursement from the LBRA to the Developer and/or LBRA-RLF may be
less than $210,650. Additionally, the LBRA will not reimburse the Developer and/or
LBRA-RLF for more than $210,650 (includes 10% cost contingency). Furthermore
reimbursement to LBRA-RLF will take precedence to any reimbursement owed to the
Developer.
The LBRA will provide financing for its costs to implement and administer the Plan by
utilizing 10% of the total new local taxes captured per year for the duration of the Plan.
This expense is noted in Section 6 (Item 5) above.

development purposes with prior approval of the Michigan
Economic Development Authority.
Baseline Environmental Assessment Activities
"Baseline Environmental Assessment Activities" are defined in the Act as those

"response activities" identified as part of a "brownfield plan" that are necessary
to complete a "baseline environmental assessment" for an "eligible property" in
the "brownfield plan".
"Baseline Environmental Assessment" ("BEA") is defined in Section

20101 (1)(d) as an evaluation of environmental conditions which exist
at a facility at the time of purchase, occupancy, or foreclosure that
reasonably defines the existing conditions and circumstance at the
facility so that, in the event of a subsequent release, there is a means
of distinguishing the new release from existing contamination.
Due Care Activities
"Due Care Activities" are defined in the Act as those "response activities"
identified as part of a "brownfield plan" that are necessary to allow the owner or
operator of an "eligible property" in the plan to comply with the requirements of
Section 20107a of Part 201 of NREPA.
Section 20107a of Part 201 of NREPA provides in relevant part as

follows:
1. A person who owns or operates property that he

or she has knowledge is a facility shall do all of
the following with respect to hazardous
substances at the facility:
1. Undertake measures as necessary to prevent

exacerbation of the existing contamination.
2. Exercise due care by undertaking response
activity necessary to mitigate unacceptable
exposure to hazardous substances, mitigate
fire and explosion hazards due to hazardous
substances, and allow for the intended use of
the facility in a manner that protects the
public health and safety.
3. Take reasonable precautions against the
reasonably foreseeable acts or omissions of a
third party and the consequences that
foreseeably could result from those acts or
omissions.
2. Compliance with this section does not satisfy a

person's obligation to perform response activities
as otherwise required under this Part.
Additional Response Activities
"Additional Response Activities" are defined in the Act as those "response

activities" as part of a "brownfield plan" that are in addition to "baseline
environmental assessment activities" and "due care activities" for an "eligible
property".
"Response Activities" are defined in the Act by reference to the definition in

Section 20101 of Part 201 of NREPA.
"Response Activity" is defined in Section 20101 of Part 201 of

NREPA as "evaluation", "interim response activity", "remedial
action", demolition, or the taking of other actions necessary to
protect the public health, safety, welfare, the environment or the
natural resources. Response activity also includes health
assessments or health effect studies carried out under the
supervision, or with the approval of, the department of public health
and enforcement actions related to any response activity.
"Evaluation" is defined in Section 20101 of Part 201 of NREPA as

those activities including, but not limited to, investigation, studies,
sampling, analysis, development of feasibility studies, and
administrative efforts that are needed to determine the nature,
extent, and impact of a release or threat of release and necessary
response activities.
"Interim Response Activity" is defined in Section 20101 of Part 201

of NREPA as the cleanup or removal of a released hazardous
substance or the taking of other actions, prior to the implementation
of a remedial action, as may be necessary to prevent, minimize, or
mitigate injury to the public health, safety, welfare, or the
environment. Interim response activity also includes, but is not
limited to, measures to limit access, replacement of water supplies,
and temporary relocation of people as determined to be necessary
by MDEQ. In addition, interim response activity means the taking of
other actions as may be necessary to prevent, minimize, or mitigate
a threatened release.
"Remedial Action" is defined in Section 20101 of Part 201 of NREPA

to include, but is not limited to, cleanup, removal, containment,
isolation, destruction, or treatment of a hazardous substance
released or threatened to be released into the environment,
monitoring, maintenance, or the taking of other actions that may be
necessary to prevent, minimize, or mitigate injury to the public
health, safety, welfare, or to the environment.
Infrastructure Improvements
"Infrastructure Improvements" is defined in the Act as a street, road, sidewalk,

parking facility, pedestrian mall, alley, bridge, sewer, sewage treatment plant,
property designed to reduce, eliminate or prevent the spread of identified soil or
groundwater contamination, drainage system, waterway, waterline, water storage
facility, rail line, utility line or pipeline, or other similar related structure or
improvement, together with necessary easements for the structure or
improvement, owned or used by a public agency or functionally connected to
similar or supporting property owned or used by a public agency, or designed or
dedicated to use by, for the benefit of, or for the protection of the health, welfare,
or safety of the public generally, whether or not used by a single business or
entity, provided that nay road, street, or bridge shall be continuously open to
public access and that other property shall be located in public easements or
right-of-way and sized to accommodate reasonably foreseeable development of
eligible property in adjoining areas.
Brownfield Plan and Eligible Property
"Brownfield Plan" is defined in the Act as a plan that meets the requirements of
Section 13 of the Act and is adopted under Section 14 of the Act.
"Eligible Property" is defined in the Act as property for which eligible activities
are defined under a brownfield plan that was used or is currently used for
commercial, industrial or residential purposes that is either in a qualified local
unit of government and is a facility, functionally obsolete, blighted, or is not in a
qualified local unit of government and is a facility, and includes parcels that are
adjacent or contiguous to that property if the development of the adjacent and
contiguous parcels are estimated to increase the captured taxable value of that
property. Eligible property includes, to the extent included in the brownfield plan,
personal property located on the property. Eligible property does not include
qualified agricultural property exempt under Section lee of the general property
tax Act, 1983 PA 206, MCL 211.7ee, from the tax levied by a local school district
for school operating purposes to the extent provided under Section 1211 of the
revised school code, 1976 PA 451, MCL 324.20101.
ADMINISTRATIVE RULES
Baseline Environmental Assessment Rules
Baseline Environmental Assessment Rules have been promulgated as Rule 901

through Rule 919 of the Michigan Administrative Code R299.5901 to R299.5919
effective March 11, 1999. MDEQ has also published guidance on BEAs entitled
"Instructions for Preparing and Disclosing Baseline Environmental Assessments
and Section 7a Compliance Analyses To The Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality and for Requesting Optional Determinations" effective
date March 11, 1999 ("Instructions"). The LBRA may take into consideration
whether an applicant's proposed activities fall within activities reasonably
contemplated by the Act, Rules and Instructions, as they may be amended, and
other guidance as may be issued from time to time by the MDEQ.
The BEA Rules and Instructions reflect that in addition to collecting data to
distinguish existing contamination from a new release, numerous forms,
affidavits, notices, stipulations and administrative review may be part of the "BEA
activities".
The data required to distinguish existing contamination from a new release may
be through one or more of the following: environmental data that characterizes
conditions at the property, engineering controls, isolation zones or stipulated
conditions. Such activities as the collection, development, review and
presentation of this data may be considered to be "BEA activities". Fees required
to be paid to the State of Michigan pursuant to the BEA Rules may be considered
as eligible activities.
Negotiations with the MDEQ regarding the adequacy of the BEA, notices,
determinations and related documentation may be considered "BEA activities".
Preparation of various forms contemplated by the BEA Rules and Instructions

including, but not limited to, the BEA form, Section 7a Compliance Analysis form,
Notice Regarding Discarded or Abandoned Containers form, Disclosure of a BEA
form, Affidavit in Support of a Disclosure Relying on Isolation Zones, Engineering
Controls or Other Similar Features for a BEA, Petition for a BEA Determination,
Affidavit in Support of a Petition for a BEA Determination, Affidavit of
Environmental Professional in Support of a Petition for a BEA Assessment
Determination, Affidavit of Environmental Professional in Support of a Petition for
a Determination of Compliance with Section 20107a, form to Cure Deficiencies in
a BEA Assessment, Affidavit in support of Information to Cure Deficiencies in a
BEA, Submittal of Post-BEA Information, Affidavit in support of Submittal of Post-
BEA Information, may be considered "BEA activities".
Construction of isolation zones and engineering controls relied on for the BEA
may be considered "BEA activities".
Due Care Rules
Due Care Rules have been promulgated as Rule 1001 through Rule 1021 of the
Michigan Administrative Code R299.51001 to 8299.51021 effective March 11,
1999. The MDEQ has also published Instructions for the Notice Regarding
Discarded or Abandoned Containers required by the Due Care Rules.
The LBRA may take into consideration whether an applicant's proposed activities
fall within activities reasonably contemplated by the Due Care Rules and
Instructions, as they may be amended, and other guidance as may be issued from
time to time by the MDEQ.
The Due Care Rules require certain owners to take "response activity" and to
provide "notice" with respect to contamination that he or she has knowledge is
emanating from, or has emanated from, and extends to or beyond, the boundary
of the property that he or she owns or operates. These Due Care Rules apply to,
among other things, certain discarded or abandoned containers and released or
threaten releases of hazardous substances. The Due Care Rules require that
documentation be maintained regarding, among other things, an evaluation of
exposure pathways, the concentration of hazardous substances to which a
person may be exposed, a description of response actions taken or to be taken,
and records documenting response actions taken. Activities undertaken to fulfill
these "response activities", notice and documentation requirements may be
considered "due care activities".
The Due Care Rules impose detailed obligations upon certain owners to prevent
exacerbation of existing contamination particularly with respect to certain
aboveground and belowground containers including notice obligations and
response activities. Activities undertaken to fulfill these "response activities"
and notice obligations may be considered "due care activities".
The Due Care Rules also require activities to mitigate unacceptable exposures
including exposure evaluations, response activities and notice to potentially
affected persons such as workers, utility workers, easement holders and owners
of mineral rights, among others. The Due Care Rules require mitigation of fire
and explosion hazards and certain notices with respect to such hazards. In
addition the Rules require notice of contamination migrating beyond boundaries
of the owned property. Such mitigation, evaluation and notice activities may be
considered "due care activities".
Response Activity Rules
In addition to the BEA Rules and Due Care Rules which discuss certain Response
Activities, Rules adopted under Part 201 of NREPA may provide guidance for
"response activities".
MDEQ has issued draft rules for Part 201. Administrative rules adopted under Act
307 (predecessor to Part 201) entitled Administrative Rules-Environmental
Contamination Response Activity are also available as guidance on "response
activities". The draft 201 Rules and the Act 307 Rules are available on the MDEQ
Internet site.
REIMBURSEMENT PROCEDURES - COSTS TO BE REIMBURSED WITH TAX
INCREMENT REVENUES
Brownfield Plan Contract
Upon approval of a Brownfield Plan for eligible property or the inclusion of

additional parcels of eligible property in a Brownfield Plan where the
owner/operator proposes to seek reimbursement of costs for eligible activities at
eligible property, the LBRA may require the owner/operator to enter into a
contract with the LBRA specifying the rights and obligations of the parties, terms
and conditions and schedules governing the capture of the taxes, requests for
reimbursement, required documentation, determination of eligible activities,
reimbursement process and dispute resolution.
Documentation of Eligible Costs
Parties seeking reimbursement of costs of eligible activities attributable to

eligible property should submit to the LBRA requests for reimbursement on a
monthly basis. These requests should include the following:
1. Reference to the Approved Brownfield Plan and parcel.

2. The total amount of the current monthly reimbursement
request.
3. The total amount of the reimbursement requests sought to
date pursuant to the Approved Brownfield Plan.
4. Identification of each eligible activity as a line item, the

associated costs, with copies of detailed invoices for the eligible
activities and proof of payment. (Parties seeking reimbursement
should request detailed billings from contractors splitting out fees
and costs of eligible activities from other services).
5. Other information and documentation that may assist the

LBRA in determining whether the costs are for eligible
activities attributable to an eligible property and that the costs
are reasonable. This documentation may include evidence of
a competitive bidding process and/or evidence that the costs
are for eligible activities.
6. Certification by an authorized representative of the party

seeking reimbursement that a) he or she has reviewed the
request for reimbursement, b) the costs are for eligible
activities attributable to eligible property, c) the request is for
costs incurred and paid and d) he/she is authorized to seek
reimbursement and to make the certification on behalf of the
party seeking reimbursement.
The LBRA will make the final determination of eligibility for all requests for
reimbursement. Reimbursements will take place as tax capture allows. Reimbursement
payment is expected to occur biannually: in early spring and late summer of each year.
No payments will be made if property taxes on any of the eligible properties are
delinquent.
The LBRA will make every effort to follow the reimbursement schedules as specified in
LBRA Brownfield Plans. For a specific Brownfield Plan, the LBRA will not reimburse
prior to or in excess of the amount of taxes captured from the eligible property.
Shortfalls in capture will result in proportionate reductions in allocations made for
eligible activity reimbursements. LBRA administrative and legal costs for establishment
and administration of the Brownfield Plan governing the eligible property take priority for
reimbursement over all other eligible costs.
The LBRA reserves the right to deny or make partial reimbursement of requests for
reimbursement, which it deems not in accordance with the Brownfield Plan, the Act and
procedures, established by LBRA for reimbursement.
ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES DEFINITIONS AND

REIMBURSEMENT PROCEDURES
ADOPTED FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE LBRA (when applicable)
ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES-DETERMINATION
The Lansing Brownfield Redevelopment Authority ("LBRA") will be governed in

its determinations as to whether activities are eligible for reimbursement or
financing under the Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Act, 1996 PA 381, as
amended ("the Act"), by the definitions both set forth and those incorporated into
the Act and by relevant rules promulgated as part of the Michigan Administrative
Code governing "eligible activities" referenced in the Act. The LBRA may also
consider guidance and memoranda issued by the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality ("MDEQ") and the Michigan Economic Growth Authority
("MEGA"), as they may relate to "eligible activities" and supporting
documentation provided by applicants for LBRA funds.
REIMBURSEMENT PROCEDURES - COSTS TO BE REIMBURSED WITH TAX

INCREMENT REVENUE
Documentation of Eligible Costs
For purposes of this plan the LBRA shall review all costs to be reimbursed using
tax increment revenue. Information provided to the LBRA regarding the eligible
costs to be reimbursed under this plan should include the following:
1. Reference to the approved brownfield plan and parcel.
2. The total amount of the reimbursement request.
3. The total amount of any previous reimbursement(s) approved by the

LBRA related to the brownfield plan.
4. Identification of each eligible activity, the associated costs, with copies

of detailed invoices for the eligible activities and proof of payment.
5. Other information and documentation that may assist the LBRA in

determining whether the costs are for eligible activities attributable to an eligible
property and that the costs are reasonable.
The LBRA will make the final determination of eligibility for all reimbursement(s).
Reimbursement(s) will take place as tax capture allows and is anticipated to
occur biannually: in early spring and late summer of each year.

The captured incremental taxable value and associated tax increment revenue will be determined
by the City Assessor. The actual increased taxable value of the land and all future taxable
improvements on the Property may vary. Furthermore, the amount of tax increment revenue
available under this Plan will be based on the actual millage levied annually by each taxing
jurisdiction on the increase in tax value resulting from the redevelopment project that is eligible
and approved for capture. The New Developer may be eligible to apply for State of Michigan
for Brownfield Michigan Business Tax credits.
7. Method of Brownfield Plan Financing
The Developer will be reimbursed for eligible costs as listed in Table 1. The current estimated
amount of capture used to reimburse the Developer is $2,758,501. Additionally, the LBRA is
not obligated to reimburse the Developer for more than $2,758,501 of total Eligible Activities
during the life of this Plan. The LBRA is not obligated to reimburse any Eligible Activities
perfonned or conducted on the project site after December 31, 2013.
The LBRA will provide financing for its costs to implement and administer the Plan by utilizing
6
5% of the new local taxes captured per year for the duration of the Plan. This expense is noted in
Table 1 above. No portion of captured school taxes will be used for LBRA administration costs.
The LBRA will also deposit up to $271,494 in local captured taxes into its Revolving Fund.

RE: SW-2-2011. 1122 W. Holmes Road, Suite 3

Special Land Use Permit - Church
Dear Mayor Bernero
The Lansing Planning Board, at its regular meeting held on May 3, 2011, voted (5-0) to recommend approval
of the request by Esteban R. Chavez for a Special Land Use permit to utilize 1122 W. Holmes Road, Suite 3
(Logan Shopping Center) for a church. The subject property is zoned 7" Commercial, which district permits
churches, if a Special Land Use perm ii is approved by the Lansing City Council.
The church has been established for 6 years and has a membership of approximately 30 individuals. Services
are held on Sunday from 10-11:30 a.m. Wednesday services, Friday youth activities and other special events
and outreach services are also provided. There is more than adequate parking on the site to accommodate the
proposed church.
The Planning Board found, based on testimony, evidence and the staff report, that the proposed special land
use complies with all of the criteria established by Section 1282.02W(l -9) of the Zoning Ordinance for
granting special land use permits. Based upon. these findings, the Planning Board recommended approval of
SLU-2-201I, with the condition that the church agrees, in writing, that it will not object to the issuance of
liquor licenses on or within 500 feet of the site.
The Planning Board held a public hearing on May 3, 2011 at which the applicant spoke in favor of the request
and no other comments were received.
Following your review of this matter, please refer it to the City Council for its consideration.

Transportation: The use proposed in this SLU is much less intense that the area is
designed to support. As such, no adverse traffic issues are
anticipated. This use does not, however, maximize the use of the
transportation infrastructure which was put in place to support
commercial activities on this site.
ANALYSIS
Section 1282,03(l)(1)-(2) sets forth the criteria Which must be used to evaluate a Special Land
Use permit request. The criteria and evaluation are as follows.
Is the proposed special land use designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a
manner harmonious with the character of adjacent property and the surrounding
area?
The proposed site is within an exiting shopping center that houses retail and service related
uses. A church in such an environment is perceived to have a negligible impact on
surrounding uses, particularly since there is more than adequate parking available on the site.
Furthermore, the church is typically in use at times that do not conflict with peak hours for
other businesses and activities are generally confined to indoors. The greatest potential
impact on its harmony with the surrounding commercial area could be the conflict between
the church and future liquor licenses. This is described in greater detail under item 3 below.
2 Will the proposed special land use change the essential character of the surrounding
area?
SIX-2-2011 1122 W. Holmes Road Page 3
The proposed church will not change the essential character of the area. The church will be
located in an existing commercial facility and, as described in item 1, should not have any
negative impacts on the surrounding area.
3. Will the proposed special land use interfere with the enjoyment of adjacent property?
The primary concern with churches in terms of interfering with the enjoyment of adjacent
properties is the potential conflicts with liquor licenses. By state law, a church has an
opportunity to object to all new liquor licenses within 500 feet of the church property. In
this case, there are several commercially zoned properties within 500 feet of the subject
property. Since this is a predominately commercial district, the applicant should agree, in
writing, that it will not object to the. issuance of liquor licenses in the area.
4. Will the proposed special land use represent an improvement to the use or character of
property under consideration and the surrounding area in general, and will the use be
in keeping with the natural environment of the lot?
The proposed use of this site for a church will not have any negative environmental impacts
on the site or the surrounding area in general. In fact, the proposed church could have a
positive impact on the facility by providing a viable use of an otherwise vacant portion of a
shopping center, kith regard to the natural environment. no changes are proposed for the
site.
5. Will the proposed special land use be hazardous to adjacent property or Involve uses,
activities, materials or equipment which are detrimental to the health, safety or welfare
of persons or property through the excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, odor,
fumes or glare?
The church will. not generate any nuisances or hazardous conditions.
6. Will the proposed special land use be adequately served by essential public facilities
and services, or is it demonstrated that the person responsible for the proposed special
land use is able to continually provide adequately for the services and facilities deemed
essential to the special land use under consideration?
The subject property is currently served by all necessary public services and utilities. No
negative comments have been received from any of the reviewing departments .or agencies.
Inspections may be necessary to determine if the structure complies with current building
code and fire code requirements for an assembly use.
7. Will the proposed special land use place demand on public services and facilities in
excess of current capacity?
The proposed special land use is not expected to increase the demand on public services and
facilities in excess of current capacity.
1122 W. HolmesRoad Page 4
8. Is the proposed special land use consistent with the intent and purpose of this Zoning
Code and the objectives of any currently adopted Comprehensive Plan?
The comprehensive plan and the zoning ordinance both designate the subject property for
commercial use. Churches are permitted in commercial districts, subject to obtaining a
special land use permit. In many respects, churches have a similar impact on the surrounding
area as most 'Commercial' uses in that passenger parking is the only regular activity
occurring on the site, outside (tithe building.
9. Will the proposed special land use meet the dimensional requirements of the district in
which the property is located?
The only dimensional requirement that applies to this request is parking. Section
1284.13(b)(1) of the Zoning Ordinance requires 1 parking space for each 3 seats in the main
sanctuary. Since the applicant would like to have seating for 30 people in the sanctuary, 10
parking spaces are required. There are several hundred parking spaces on the site, most of
which are rarely ever used. There are numerous vacancies in the shopping center and even at
full capacity, there is more than adequate parking to accommodate the needs and fulfill the
Zoning Ordinance requirements for a shopping center.
Section 1268.04(b) of the Zoning Ordinance states that churches in the "F" Commercial
district must be located on a collector, principal or minor arterial. Holmes Road is
designated as a minor arterial and S. MLK is designated as a major arterial. Therefore, the
request complies with the condition.
SUMMARY
This is a request by Esteban R. Chavez to utilize 1122 W. Holmes Road, Suite 3 (Logan Square
Shopping Center) for a church. Churehes are permitted in the "F" Commercial district, which is the
designation of the subject property, if a Special Land Use permit is approved by the Lansing City
Council. The church has been established for 6 years and has a membership of approximately 30
individuals. Services are held on Sunday from 10-11:30 a.m. Wednesday services, Friday youth
activities and other special events and outreach services are also provided.
Based on the findings contained in this staff report, the proposal complies with all of the criteria of
Section 1282.03(0(1)-(9) of the Zoning Code for evaluating Special Land Use permits.
I. The proposed Special Land Use will be harmonious with the character of adjacent properties
and surrounding uses.
2. The proposed Special Land Use will not change the essential character of the surrounding
properties.
3. The proposed Special Land Use will not interfere with the general enjoyment of adjacent
properties.
SW-2-2111 1'122 W. Holmes Road Page
4.
The proposed Special Land Use does represent an improvement to the lot as it currently
exists.
5. The proposed Special Land Use will not be hazardous to adjacent properties.
6. The proposed Special Land Use can be adequately served by public services and utilities.
7. The proposed Special Land Use will not place any demand on public services and facilities in.
excess of current capacities.
8. The proposed Special Land Use is consistent with the specific designations of the Zoning
Code and the Southwest Area Comprehensive Plans.
9. The proposed Special Land Use will comply with the dimensional requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of SW-2-2011, based upon the findings of fact as outlined in this staff
report, subject to the applicant agreeing, .in writing, that it will not object to the issuance of liquor
licenses in the area.
Respectfully Submitted,
Susan Stachowiak
Zoning Administrator
HOPE METRO NEW LIFE CENTER
CURRENTLY: We are small group of about 30. We have been a church for
six years.
.k t.TTURE: As we know the future in unknown to us, however, we do hope

to double in the next three years.
ACTIVITIES: Sunday services 10am to 11:30am. Wednesday prayer

service. Friday youth service. During spring and summer we do outside
activities to help the community with back-to school needs, food baskets,
clothes, and whatever other needs we can help the community with. We
hope to provide tutoring in the near future to those who need it, as we have
found the need is great and have been able to provide this help on a very low
scale. Our goal is to help families be better, stronger, and provide them with
a sense of purpose for their lives through encouraging personnel faith. The
end result of this personnel faith, are families and communities making
better choices for the longevity of their life, free from drugs and alcohol
abuse, We understand that its not always the case, but for those who
continue to keep their faith, end up in a better place in life.
Thank you for your time, sincerely
