  • A public hearing on September 11, 2025, at Memphis Lions Club will address a non-compliant multifamily development plan for Memphis Meadows.
  • The developer rezoned the property from single-family to multiple-family in 2023 and seeks variances for road width and parking that conflict with established municipal codes.
  • The plan conflicts with the Master Plan’s goal of maintaining lower-density development, does not comply with Memphis’s preliminary plan review requirements, and the developer has opted not to submit an alternative that meets the necessary codes despite viable options being available.
  • The developer's claims of economic impracticality, self-created difficulties, and financial hardship are not valid reasons to grant variances according to the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act and local ordinances.
  • This contentious process has led to increased neighborhood congestion and pollution, raising calls for local civic engagement to restore transparency, accountability, and meaningful representation.
