SOUTH HAVEN — After two years of deliberation, the South Haven Planning Commission has recommended a large-scale, mixed-use development in downtown South Haven be approved by the city council.
The Grand Haven Planning Commission will have to vote again to determine if two Lakeshore Drive properties should be included as part of the short-term rental (STR) overlay zone.
A new yurt resort could be built within a few blocks of the Lake Michigan Shoreline if South Haven resident Joe Ashen can get his plan approved by local officials. A yurt is a circular tent on a collapsible framework and has become popular for those looking to experience nature with some of the amenities of home.
