Oshtemo Township - Planning Commission - February 12, 2026 Meeting
The Oshtemo Township Planning Commission reviews a revised proposal for a mixed-use development featuring a new Kroger grocery store and gas station. The proposal, presented by the developer Ferlito Group, seeks to replace previously planned duplexes with single-family homes and introduce a Kroger store with a gas station. Community members express significant opposition, citing concerns about increased traffic, safety, and the impact on local neighborhoods. The public comments also highlight an existing abundance of grocery stores in the area. The Planning Commission ultimately decides that the revised proposal does not align with the township’s mixed-use development standards and vision. The decision reflects the board’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of the mixed-use district as originally planned.
