7. How would any future development on this site be addressed?
Any potential future development would have to be an approved use as part of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Agreement and Area Plan. Any use not consistent with the approved agreement and plan would require the applicant to file for a request to amend the PUD Agreement and Area Plan.
8. Will more information be provided before the public hearing?
Yes! The applicant will provide additional information to the Community Development Department, as requested by the City’s staff during the initial review, and a packet containing that information will be provided as a PDF on the Planning Commission’s agenda for the meeting.

10. When will this request return to the Planning Commission for a decision?
The applicant has indicated that their intent is first to set up meetings with the Maples of Novi residents to share additional information about the proposed changes, and to start a dialogue directly with the residents. Following those meetings, the applicant will provide additional information to the City. Once that information has been received, the City will send out notices to the residents of the Maples of Novi of a new public hearing in front of the Planning Commission.
