Our community has much at stake with the Zoning Ordinance and the embedded tool within in it, the PD. The previous ordinance PD process was perfectly fine; in fact, it was used often. The existing PD has safeguards and parameters, guardrails to ensure that the outcome and the process of approving a proposed PD project are transparent, objective, and compatible with existing uses and community character. Understand now that the PD in the Proposed Zoning Code ordinance is a 'DIY' approach, where anyone can request to 'do it themselves' when it comes to zoning. It is a liberal tool that is absent any requirements for acreage, base uses, or architectural consistency with Harbor Springs. We keep asking, WHY change something that is working? Why risk the unknown when the tool we have today in the current code is working? Are we changing something to appease an out-of-town developer? Or are we listening to our gut and homing in on what is authentically Harbor Springs? We didn't become the place we are today by free choice zoning; we got here through the carefully crafted provisions in the code we have in place today. It is sometimes baffling that this is not acknowledged and reflected upon. It is OK to simply say/suggest/request and keep the PD as it is written in the code on record. Not everything needs fixing.
