Adaptive use of vacant buildings at Historic Fort Wayne will require a zoning change. The General Services Department has proposed a rezoning of Historic Fort Wayne from its present zoning of R1: Single-family Residential to a proposed new classification of PD: Planned Development District. A final decision regarding this rezoning will be made by the Detroit City Council upon recommendation of the City Planning Commission.
Following recent state and federal recommendations regarding COVID-19, a public hearing at the City Planning Commission as been postponed until further notice. After the City Planning Commission meeting, another public hearing opportunity will be held at the Detroit City Council. The date, time, and location of these events will be posted here on this page as well as shared via email to interested community organizations and anyone who signed in at our September 26, 2019, community meeting.
