Planning Department
Mark Stec (mstec@hazelpark.org)
(248) 546-4072
The Planning Department staff responsibilities include speaking
with prospective business owners about what types of businesses
are permitted within the City and where they are permitted,
reviewing site plan applications for new developments, administering
grants and loans that aid development within our City, and assisting
residents in improving and maintaining their homes, property,
and personal well-being.
The Planning Department will directly speak with business owners
when they have an interest in creating additional floor space
to a building, adding an additional use to the property, adding
or decreasing parking, or adding an accessory building structure.
The above process will require site plan approval by the Planning
Commission. The site plan review applications may be picked
up at the Planning Department. The Planning Department also
oversees rezoning and special use approval requests. These applications
may also be picked up at the Planning Department.
The Planning Department directly oversees the administering
of the Community Development Block Grant funds. These funds
currently have been allocated to assist residents with emergency
home repairs and specific property code violation repairs. The
Planning Department can also refer residents to other available
grant and loan monies that can assist them with their home repairs
or subsidized housing needs.
The Planning Department works directly with several appointed
boards and commissions such as the Planning Commission, Downtown
Development Authority, and Historical Commission. These residential
boards are vital part of the checks and balances in local government
and ensure that continuity is maintained.
If you are resident seeking personal assistance, a business
owner wishing to move into Hazel Park, or a developer wishing
to build a new commercial structure within our City, please
call the Planning Department. The staff will gladly assist and
guide you through the application process. |
