Hello anti-sprawlers, development do-gooders, environmental health
activists and urban environmentalists
Below is a link to a Det News Editorial on new laws before Gov. Granholm
regarding zoning, "outdated master plans" and Contract Zoning. I assume any
contract contents would be negotiable so it would only be bad if a
City allows a bad contract. But as a councilperson for an urban
industrialized community I am concerned about anything that might
allow a "dirty" facility to be located in our City even if
through negotiations. For example, our Zoning Ord currently forbids the
processing of hazardous waste even in our industrial zones and I would not want
to lose that clear cut intention.
Could I hear from a few of the Environmental Orgs referred to in the
article as being supportive of this or maybe it would be more instructive
to hear from those not mentioned?
Thanking you for your time
