Eastpointe Zoning Ordinance Update and Steering Committee Workbooks
City of Eastpointe and McKenna
Seven workbooks recontextualized urban planning topics such as missing middle housing, height density, flexible land use, nonconformities and façade materials. Different learning activities, acted as an ice breaker so that a higher level of conversation around the urban planning topic became possible. Some of the activities included: Existing Ordinance Challenges: Pain Points Survey; Mixed-Use and Use Diversity: Land Use BINGO; and Façade Materials: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Jurors said, "We were particularly impressed with the engagement with the general public at the Gratiot Cruise Public Participation Booth, as zoning ordinance updates would not typically be something the public would find engaging." Congratulations to the City of Eastpointe and McKenna!
