Mich. Admin. Code R. 281.106 - Zoning permits; site plans; certificates of zoning compliance
Rule 6.
(1) A
building or other structure shall not be erected, moved, added to, or
structurally altered, and a land use shall not be commenced, without a zoning
permit as specified by these rules and as issued by the zoning administrator.
Permits shall not be required for exempt activities as specified in
R
281.107. Plans that are submitted when applying for a
zoning permit shall contain the necessary information for determining
compliance with these rules.
(2)
Concurrent with applying for a zoning permit, an applicant shall submit a site
plan of the proposed development. The site plan shall include the entire area
that is proposed for development. The zoning administrator, in the case of a
principal use application, or the zoning review board, in the case of a special
use application, may require adjustments in the site plan as a condition for
approval to ensure that the proposed development meets all standards contained
in these rules. Except as otherwise waived by the zoning administrator, in the
case of a principal use application, or the zoning review board, in the case of
a special use application, a site plan shall show and include all of the
following, either existing or proposed:
(a) A
site plan drawn to scale, with the scale indicated.
(b) Property dimensions, including river
frontage.
(c) Size, shape, use, and
location of existing and proposed buildings or improvements, including
distances to adjacent property boundaries and the river's edge.
(d) Existing vegetation, including the
location and type.
(e) Adjacent
streets and highways.
(f) Parking
areas.
(g) Cross section drawing
showing height of buildings above water level and bluff heights.
(h) Entrances to public streets.
(i) Description of the building design,
including proposed construction materials.
(j) Drainage facilities.
(k) Location and description of the method to
dispose of sanitary wastes.
(l)
Proposed landscaping.
(m) Location
of footpaths.
(n) Signs proposed,
including the size, location, and material.
(o) North arrow.
(p) Date of drawing.
(q) Detailed site location map.
(r) Any additional information required the
zoning administrator or zoning review board to carry out the administrator's or
board's duties. Examples of such information include the following:
(i) Soil types.
(ii) Topography.
(iii) Building elevations.
(iv) Site photographs.
(v) Anticipated traffic volumes.
(vi) Traffic circulation patterns.
(vii) Other pertinent site
information.
(3) A building, structure, or lot for which a
zoning permit has been issued shall not be occupied, and a use for which a
zoning permit has been issued shall not commence, until the zoning
administrator has, after final inspection, issued a certificate of zoning
compliance that certifies compliance with these rules. However, the issuance of
a certificate of compliance shall not be construed as waiving any provision of
these rules. A building that is an accessory to a dwelling shall not require a
separate certificate of zoning compliance, but may be included in the
certificate of zoning compliance for the dwelling if shown on the site plan and
if completed at the same time as the dwelling. A record of all certificates
that are issued shall be kept on file in the office of the zoning
administrator. Certificates of zoning compliance are for the purposes of these
rules and shall not be interpreted as substitutes for certificates of occupancy
that are required by local building codes or local zoning permits.
