ANN ARBOR, MI Ann Arbor OK’d plans for the city’s first marijuana consumption lounge this past week, and it could be the first of over two dozen like it in the city.
“We are going to allow 28,” said City Planner Alexis DiLeo, citing a cap in the city’s regulations.

ANN ARBOR, MI More than 140 short-term rental properties in Ann Arbor’s residential neighborhoods may keep operating under new regulations finalized this week.
City Council voted 7-4 along factional lines to OK new rules with exceptions allowing existing short-term rentals like dedicated Airbnb houses to remain in neighborhoods.
The previous council voted last September to ban them effective March 1, but Mayor Christopher Taylor and his allies, who regained control of council in November, now are allowing existing operators to continue in hopes of avoiding a lawsuit fight they think the city would lose.

ANN ARBOR, MI Ann Arbor officials say the city’s restrictions on adding accessory apartments to homes are keeping homeowners from building them, but new rules could allow them on over 22,000 properties.
About a couple dozen Ann Arbor homeowners have applied to add accessory dwelling units known as ADUs to their properties since the city adopted an ADU ordinance in 2016.
In some cases, ADUs can be in detached structures such as a carriage house or an apartment above a garage, or a separate rental unit within a home or home addition.
