property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to sell the City-owned vacant lot at 441 E
Isabella to Caleb Schuyten.
D. Harbour Towne Marina Reciprocal License Agreement Manager's Office
Harbour Towne Marina replaced its on-site fuel tanks for its gas dock operations. Their
lines cross a section of city-owned property behind the marina fence line. This license
agreement allows Harbour Towne Marina to use that section of property, and the City
receives a license to use property outside the fence line.
Early in 2025, Harbour Towne Marina approached the City when it discovered that
the existing fence line erected in the 1980s did not follow the property line, specifically
in the southeast section of their operations (see inset map for reference). The
discrepancy was discovered when Harbour Towne Marine replaced its fuel tanks on
its property. The new tanks are above-ground tanks that are up to current standards
and have been permitted by EGLE (the old tanks were buried). The fuel lines from the
new tanks to the fuel docks cross a section of city property.
Harbor Towne Marina suggested that the City and Harbor Towne Marina enter into a
licensing agreement (30-year term). The City would license the part of its property
behind the fence to Harbor Towne Marina (about 3,000 square feet), and the Marina
would license a part of its property outside the fence line to the City (a section at the
end of the cul-de-sac that's currently used by the public - about 3,500 square feet).
The fence line would not move.
This option is acceptable to legal counsel as it does not convey the property to either
party (this is a charter park). Additionally, Harbor Towne Marina will list the City as an
additional insured on its insurance policy related to the fuel tanks.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the Reciprocal License Agreement between
Harbour Towne Marina and the City of Muskegon and authorize the Clerk and Mayor
to sign.
E. Pere Marquette Restroom Building - Consumers Energy Easement Public
Works
Page 4 of 13
Staff requests authorization to sign the easement document providing Consumers
Energy an easement to extend power facilities to serve the new restroom building at
Pere Marquette Beach.
Consumers Energy needs to extend their power from the existing power pole located
at the intersection of Beach St. & Wilcox Ave. to the restroom building being
constructed just north of the Kite Shop. They will use horizontal directional drilling
(HDD) technology to install a conduit from the pole to the building, and run the
power cable(s) underground. The cost for Consumers to complete the work is
$34,583.30 which is available in the project budget, and the easement language is in
the standard Consumers Energy format.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Move to authorize staff to sign the easement document
providing Consumers Energy an easement to extend power facilities to serve the new
restroom building at Pere Marquette Beach.
G. Ordinance Amendment - International Property Maintenance Code Public

K. PILOT Agreement with Spire Development for Allen Crossing II Senior LIHTC
Housing Development Economic Development
Spire is seeking an application to MSHDA to achieve funding for another round of
affordable senior housing next door to their project already under construction in the
Apple Avenue Corridor.

to not move forward so that they can focus their attention on the recently awarded
Nelson School project. Spire has reached a purchase agreement with property owner
Wheelfish Group and would like to program a 40-50 unit senior apartment complex
on the lot located at 181 Allen Avenue. This lot is contiguous to their current awarded
projects under construction. The PILOT payment and MSA amounts requested are
concurrent with the policy and identical to their last senior LIHTC agreement
approved by commission in December 2023.

P. Rezoning of 1148 4th St and 318/350 Houston Ave Planning
Staff-initiated request to rezone the properties at 1148 4th St, 318 Houston Ave from
Limited Business (B-1), and 350 Houston Ave from High-Density Multiple-Family
Residential (RM-3) to Form-Based Code, Neighborhood Core (FBC, NC).
This area of “Midtown” was rezoned to Form Based Code in 2015. Most of the parcels
were zoned to FBC, UR because they were either single-family, duplex, or small
multiplex buildings. At the time, these three properties were left out of the rezoning
because they did not fit the FBC, UR designation. However, staff has reviewed the
form-based code and has determined that the FBC, NC designation will work well for
these properties and the buildings and uses would be considered legally conforming.
The Nelson Place apartments would be considered a Flex building in the form-based
code and the new designation would even allow for mixed-uses if the chose to do
that someday. The properties at 1148 4th St and 318 Houston would be considered
small multiplexes. Small multiplexes were not allowed as a permitted use in FBC, UR
districts at that time, so this property was not included in the initial rezoning request of
2015. This density is allowed within the FBC, NC zoning designation and so are the
office uses.
The Planning Commission unanimously (7-0, two members absent) recommended
approval of the rezoning request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the request to rezone the properties at
1148 4th St, 318 Houston Ave, and 350 Houston Ave to Form-Based Code,
Neighborhood Core.
Q. Rezoning of 429, 433, 451, 461, 477, 485, 491, 501, 507, 513, 521, 527 E Apple
Ave and 1022 Williams St. Planning
Page 7 of 13
Staff-initiated request to rezone the following properties from Two-Family Residential
(RT) to Form-Based Code, Neighborhood Edge (FBC, NE):
429/433/451/461/477/485/491/501/507/513/521/527 E Apple Ave and 1022 Williams St.
There are only 70 properties within the City that are zoned RT, Two-Family Residential.
The zoning designation could be considered outdated because we now have the
FBC, UR designation that also allows for duplexes.
The RT designation requires large lots for the development of duplexes, whereas the
FBC designation allows for their development on smaller lots. RT lots must be at least
8,712 sf in size and at least 75 feet wide. This requirement makes almost all properties
zoned RT legally-non-conforming because they are not wide enough. Nothing could
be developed on most of these properties and the existing houses are considered
grandfathered. A duplex in the FBC designation can be built on a lot that is only 40
feet wide.
The FBC, UR designation allows for single-family detached houses, duplexes and
accessory dwellings units. It also allows for triplexes if there is an alley present.
Staff recommends eliminating the RT zoning designation. In order to do so, we must
first rezone all 70 of the RT properties that currently exist. Staff proposes to rezone
these 10 properties to FBC, NE because they are located along Apple Ave adjacent
to a business district and there are also alleys present, so the infrastructure already
exists to support higher density.
Staff held a focus group in February with all of the associated property owners. Those
in attendance were very supportive of the initiative and requested that we move
forward with the rezonings. Notice was sent to all properties within 300 feet of the
properties to be rezoned. At the time of this writing, staff has not received any
comments from the public.
The Planning Commission unanimously (7-0), two members absent) recommended
approval of the rezoning request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the request to rezone the addresses
listed above from RT to FBC, NE.
R. Rezoning of several properties from Two-Family Residential (RT) to
Neighborhood Residential (R). Planning
Staff-initiated request to rezone the following properties from Two-Family Residential
(RT) to Neighborhood Residential (R):
410/420/428/438/448/456/466/478/508/524/528/530/532/558/562/568/580/586/592/600
Adams Ave, 275 Marshall St, 462/478/494/508/524/540/556/568/594 S Quarterline Rd,
1150/1160/1168/1192/1206 Ambrosia St, 370/376/384/390 Catherine Ave,
1174/1185/1191 Wood St, 353/357/361/369 E Isabella Ave, 1113/1119 Sophia St,
396/422/428/438 McLaughlin Ave, 463 Catawba Ave, 557 McLaren St, 2407 Barclay St,
11/17 Delaware Ave, and 955 W. Laketon Ave.
As described in the previous case, staff recommends eliminating the RT zones
because we now have better options to allow for duplexes and higher densities.
Staff is proposing to rezone these properties from RT to R, Neighborhood Residential.
Page 8 of 13
These lots fit the size requirements for the proposed zoning district and the rezonings
will make most of these lots legally conforming, whereas most of them are considered
legally, non-conforming under the RT designation. These lots are characterized as
small-to-medium sized residential lots without the presence of an alley. Without an
alley present, the R designation allows only single-family detached houses, duplexes,
and accessory dwelling units. Triplexes would not be allowed because there are no
alleys associated with these lots.
Staff held a focus group in February with all of the associated property owners. Those
in attendance were very supportive of the initiative and requested that we move
forward with the rezonings. Notice was sent to all properties within 300 feet of the
properties to be rezoned. At the time of this writing, staff has not received any
comments from the public.
The Planning Commission unanimously (7-0, two members absent) recommended to
approve the rezoning request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the request to rezone the above listed
addresses from Two-Family Residential (RT) to Neighborhood Residential (R).
S. Rezoning of 1769, 1733, 1715, 1766, 1752, 1736, 1724, 1720, and 1714 Beidler
St. Planning
Staff-initiated request to rezone the following properties from Neighborhood
Residential (R) to Form-Based Code, Neighborhood Edge (FBC-NE):
1769/1733/1715/1766/1752/1736/1724/1720/1714 Beidler St.
This section of Beidler St intersects with the business district along Laketon Ave and is
comprised mostly of mixed-use and retail buildings. However, many of the buildings
and most of their uses are considered legally non-conforming because they are all
zoned R, Neighborhood Residential. The current zoning designation limits
development and use options and requires building owners to apply for Special Use
Permits for any commercial or multifamily uses. Staff believes these buildings would be
better served with a Form Based Code designation that allows for mixed-uses by right.
The mid-block alley serves as a natural barrier between the properties proposed for
rezoning and the R district to the north. The property at 1727 Beidler St was recently
rezoned to FBC, NE this February.
The Planning Commission unanimously (7-0, two members absent) recommended to
approve the rezoning request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the request to rezone for the addresses
listed above from R, Neighborhood Residential to Form Based Code, Neighborhood
Edge.
Motion by Commissioner German, second by Vice Mayor St.Clair, to approve the
consent agenda as presented minus items F, I, J and O.

F. Social Media Use Policy and Guidelines Community Engagement
Staff recommends the approval of the Social Media Use Policy and Guidelines.
To address the evolving landscape of online communication and ensure responsible,
effective, and consistent use of social media by the City of Muskegon, a
comprehensive Social Media Use Policy and Guidelines has been developed.
This Policy establishes protocols for social media use by City officials and employees,
ensuring communications are properly authorized, formatted, and legally compliant,
particularly considering rulings such as Lindke v. Freed, 601 U.S. 187 (2024).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Social Media Use Policy and Guidelines as
presented, authorizing its immediate implementation.
Motion by Commissioner Kilgo, second by Vice Mayor St.Clair, to approve the Social
Media Use Policy and Guidelines as presented, authorizing its immediate
implementation.

MOTION DID NOT PASSES
I. Rezoning of 1201 and 1147 3rd St and 236 Monroe Ave Planning
Staff-initiated request to rezone the properties at 1201 and 1147 3rd St and 236
Monroe Ave from Convenience & Comparison Business (B-2) to Form-Based Code,
Mainstreet (FBC, MS).
The “Midtown” portion of 3rd was rezoned from B-2 to Form-Based Code, Mainstreet in
2015. During the rezoning process a couple of property owners were hesitant to
rezone because of current or potential developments. The vacant lot at 1201 3rd St
was being used as a used-car sales lot at the time, but it has been vacant for close to
10 years. It’s not exactly clear why the parking lot of 1147 3rd St and 236 Monroe Ave
were not rezoned at the time. However, both of the parcels are considered non-
buildable under the B-2 designation because they do not meet the minimum lot size
of 10,890 sf and 100 feet of width.
At the public hearing, the property owners adjacent to the property at 236 Monroe
Ave disagreed with the recommendation to rezone it to FBC, MS. Staff agreed with
them and suggested that we remove 236 Monroe Ave off of the request. Staff will
bring forward another zoning amendment request in the future to rezone the property
Page 10 of 13
to FBC, UR.
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended to approve the request to
rezone 1201 and 1147 3rd St from B-2 to FBC, MS.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the rezoning of 1147 and 1201 3rd St
from B-2 to Form Based Code, MS.
Motion by Commissioner German, second by Commissioner Kilgo, to approve the
rezoning of 1147 and 1201 3rd St from B-2 to Form Based Code, MS.
