Dr. Marwan Shuayto of Michigan Neurology and Spinal Center would like to convert the building into a medical office which would be permitted in a Multi-Family residential zone. It is currently zoned for single family homes.
The owner of the Smith Family Funeral Home building on 7th Street is requesting a zoning change from Central Business District to Multi Family residential. Kyle Schieweck is seeking to build nine luxury apartments inside the former funeral home building.
Port Huron City council will also be asked to rezone a vacant parcel at 300 Griswold Street, owned by Acheson ventures and adjacent to the Blue Water River Walk, from industrial to Central Business District. The 8 acre parcel was previously a rail yard and Acheson say the CBD designation would allow for more forms of future development on that cite.
