Civic Snapshot: May 8, 2025 City of Kalamazoo Zoning Board of Appeals

The Board considered a time extension request for a food trailer at the Lessman’s Market parking lot, pending site plan review for permanent operation. The board granted the extension, allowing continued operation while the site plan is reviewed. The Board also considered a request for a variance to use a property on Reed Street as a short-term rental. The board deliberated on the structural hardships cited, such as a narrow stairwell, but ultimately denied the request, citing that the property can continue to be used as long-term rentals. Additionally, an applicant for a vacant board seat is mentioned, and volunteers for an interview committee are noted.
