APPEAL CASE NO. 2026-07-11 — Dog run enclosure
Livonia
Description
The apartment complex is asking to build a 3,500-square-foot fenced dog run — 17 times the 200-square-foot limit. The board tabled it in August to let the owner revise the plan.
Impact summary
Approval would let the complex keep a much larger dog run than neighbors might expect, changing how the property's open space is used.

A proposed new Section 13.16 would establish how and why the city can impose moratoria — temporary holds — on specific zoning uses. This would give the city a tool to pause certain types of development while rules are studied or updated.
