    Why�Hillsdale?�Established in 1839 and chartered in 1869, the City of Hillsdale is located in the rolling, fertile hills of South Central Michigan, bordering Indiana and Ohio. A community of approximately 8,000 residents, it is the county seat of Hillsdale County and home to nationally-recognized Hillsdale College as well as Jackson College. Hillsdale is also home to Hillsdale Hospital, a private, independent, non-profit institution and the only acute care hospital in Hillsdale County.

    Conveniently located in south central Michigan near the Indiana and Ohio borders, the City of Hillsdale and its business community are still strongly tied to its manufacturing and agricultural roots. Hillsdale has a quiet, small-town lifestyle, but is a close commute to larger metropolitan areas including Lansing, Jackson, Battle Creek, and Ann Arbor, Michigan and Toledo, Ohio. I-69 and I-80 can both be reached in 30 minutes or less and I-94 is just 45 minutes away.

    The city-owned Hillsdale Municipal Airport can handle commercial air traffic with a recently upgraded 5,000' x 100' runway. Other nearby airports include: Lansing Capital City Airport, Detroit Metro-Wayne County Airport, and Ft. Wayne International Airport.

    Zoning�Amendments�Zoning divides land into categories according to their use and sets regulations for these categories. When a property owner wants to use land in a way that is not permitted by the zoning of the property, the owner must request to rezone the property to a classification which permits the desired use. A rezoning is a legislative process that will amend the zoning map and/or text of the zoning ordinance. The City Commission (with recommendation from the Planning Commission) has the authority to approve or deny rezoning requests.

    The City Commission may of its own motion, or upon petition by the owner(s) of a property proposed for rezoning, prepare an ordinance amending or changing the district boundaries or the district regulations.

    Developers’ Guide to IncorporatingEffective Citizen Participation

    The Importance of Citizen Participation: Developers are encouraged to notify citizens and neighborhood groups of proposed developments in their community early on in the development review process. For large projects it is recommended that the developer facilitate and host a citizen participation meeting where developers introduce the project to the community.

    …Strategies for Effective Citizen Participation Meetings Citizen participation efforts provide excellent opportunities for developers to introduce their project to the community, answer questions, build trust, learn about success stories and project issues in the area, and alleviate concerns before the project reaches a public hearing. If led effectively, citizen participation can establish collaborative working relationships between developers and residents that last throughout the development review process. To ensure that your citizen participation efforts are successful, follow these guidelines:

    � Reach out to neighborhood groups, downtown TIFA, corridor authorities and other interested parties and organizations to introduce yourself, gather public contacts, learn about the community and understand their concerns.

    � Create a social media project page and/or website that utilize tools for public comment and feedback. � Maintain and post various project documents related to the project including fact sheets, event timelines, status

    updates, schedule for public events, frequently asked questions and other significant project activities. � Email & mail announcements to area businesses, neighborhood associations, TIFA, corridor authorities, and

    interested parties list. � Explain how the proposed development will be reviewed by Staff, Planning Commission, and City Council,

    emphasizing the additional opportunities for public input. � Make meetings and explanations brief and to the point, and then provide ample time to listen to residents’

    comments, questions, and concerns. � Provide a variety of visuals such as maps, plan view, drawings, computer-generated images, and elevations to help

    residents better understand the proposed development. Visuals can be displayed on posters, a PowerPoint presentation, or handouts. Handouts should include basic information about the project as well as your contact information.

    To facilitate this outreach, the City of Hillsdale will assist developers with the following: � Coordination of initial meetings with neighborhood representatives, TIFA representatives, City department heads,

    Chamber of Commerce, etc.; � Coordination of presentations before City Council, Boards, Neighborhood Associations, Chamber, etc.; � The creation and provision of fact sheets, FAQs, timelines, contact information, etc., to keep the community

    informed; and � Creation of municipal web links, dependent on the size and scope of project, with all pertinent project information

    available to the public.
