Zoning Boards of Appeals (ZBA) - Nov 5, 2026
Assumption Nursery School on Marter requested a 10-space parking variance, which could affect how its facility operates near the 8 Mile corridor.
City Council - Oct 19, 2026
If the city denied your driveway expansion and you appealed, it used to go to a "committee" whose members report to the same director who denied you. Now appeals go to the building and property maintenance board of appeals — an actual independent panel. Passed 6-0.
City Council - Oct 5, 2026
The nursery school gets a two-classroom addition, bringing 24 toddlers and 6 staff from the church building over to the school on Marter Road.
Planning Commission - Sep 22, 2026
The nursery school wants to move its two toddler classrooms from the church and cultural center into the main school building with a new 1,800-square-foot addition. That means 24 more kids and 6 more staff on site, and 10 more required parking spaces the school must win from the ZBA.
