The meeting focused on land use changes that affect how properties in Belleville can be used. Several requests were approved, including permission for multi-family use at 216 N. Jackson, convenience store and liquor-related uses at two South Belt locations, and a short-term rental at 800 Gass Ave. The board also approved repealing a zoning rule that set minimum floor sizes for homes, saying building codes are a better place for that standard, and changed 5920 Gateway Industrial Drive from single-family zoning to light industry so its current industrial use would fit the zoning. An animal shelter was also approved for 650 Sherman, and the board heard a contested request for retail and convenience store use at 202 S. Church, but the outcome for that item is not fully available in the excerpt provided.
