with an existing zoning designation which maycurrently conflict with the Master Plan, and maybe rezoned in the future once the existing useterminates or conditions change. In addition,conditions in these areas may change followingamendments to the Zoning Ordinance.In particular, the City’s M-1, Light Industrialdistrict may require significant revision, orfull replacement, with a new or series of newzoning categories. While titled “Light” industrial,this District permits a wide range of moreconventional manufacturing uses that make thecreation of a high-tech environment difficult.The allowing of uses which require regular heavytruck traffic or which may create nuisancescomplicate the development of a light industrialenvironment primarily geared toward researchand other more technologically advanced 21stCentury industrial uses. The District shouldcontinue to accommodate wholesale activities,warehouses, and should be specifically gearedtoward industrial operations dedicated to thebusiness-to-business market whose externaleffects are restricted to the immediate area.Overlay or Special DistrictsThe City should consider the development ofspecial zoning districts or overlay districts inareas like Rochester Road, the Transit Center,or Maple Road in order to create site-specificregulations for special areas of the City. BigBeaver Road, for example, is the focus of a specialdevelopment code being drafted in 2008. Thiscode will be designed to implement the specificpolicies of the Big Beaver Corridor Study. Thecode will require development in the Big BeaverCorridor to incorporate characteristics of theStudy and will offer incentives to developers togo beyond minimum requirements. For instance,a height and area bonus may be granted forappropriate site design and the inclusion ofgreen development standards.The City is using overlay districts to realize the potential of special areas in the City.122 CHAPTER 10: IMPLEMENTATION
CITY OF TROY MASTER PLANPlanned Unit Development:Planned Unit Development (PUD) is a powerfultool in the City of Troy that will play an importantrole in the development of land within the Cityin accordance with this Master Plan. As of theadoption of this Master Plan, the current ZoningOrdinance does not specifically permit mixedusedevelopment; however, this Master Planencourages mixed use in many areas. Whilein some instances the development of specialdistrict regulations, such as the Big BeaverDevelopment Code, may eventually allow theCity to permit mixed-use development by right,PUD will undoubtedly remain a critical tool in thedevelopment of mixed-use projects.Given the extensive areas of the City inwhich mixed-use development is encouragedby the policies of Chapter 9, the PUD optionwill be used extensively in the coming years.Developments which include a mixture ofland use opportunities, including residential,office, commercial land uses and parks or openspace are important for fostering the highquality of life envisioned within this plan, andas noted above, PUD may be the only toolavailable to allow it to move forward. A PUDalso offers the benefits of flexible design andencourages innovative and creative planning.Consequently, PUD should be encouragedwithin any area of the City planned for mixedusedevelopment.Conditional RezoningConditional zoning is a technique permittedin Michigan which allows an applicant seekinga rezoning to voluntarily attach conditions tothe request which would further restrict theproperty, should the rezoning be approved. Inother words, an applicant may wish to voluntarilysubmit a rezoning request to an intensecommercial category, with an added conditionthat the property will not be used for a fastfoodestablishment. The technique can not beused to loosen regulations of the underlyingzoning district. The primary application forconditional zoning may be in cases where aspecific intended use an applicant has in mindwould require a rezoning to a much more intensecategory than necessary. In order to protectthe community from the other uses that couldbe permitted by the more intense category, theapplicant can voluntarily propose conditionsthat would prohibit the use of the property forthe more intense uses. Conditional zoning mustbe introduced by the applicant; the City is notpermitted to request conditions.SPENDINGCapital ImprovementsThe City Council adopts a budget whichincludes an in-depth analysis of plannedcapital expenditures developed withinindividual departments. This budget iscarefully developed with input of the City’sdepartment heads. However, the City does nothave a comprehensive, coordinated plan formajor improvements and purchases, and thisbudgeting process is not done within the contextof planning.A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is ablueprint for planning a community’s capitalexpenditures, typically over a five (5) yeartimeframe. This Capital Improvement Planwould be a long range plan, designed to beevaluated yearly. It coordinates planning,financial capacity and physical development.The Capital Improvement Plan would be usedas a management tool for the City budgetand planning processes. The Plan wouldhelp to achieve maximum use of taxpayers’dollars, encourage more efficient governmentadministration, aid in grant processes and helpmaintain sound finances.CHAPTER 10: IMPLEMENTATION123
