10631 Whittier Avenue down-zoning request (Covergirls)

Detroit

Description

CPC explained that down-zoning the Covergirls site wouldn't change its grandfathered adult-cabaret status, and the committee received and filed the request; a corridor-wide B4-to-B2 rezoning remains possible.

Impact summary

No immediate change to the club's status, but the whole Whittier corridor could be down-zoned later and non-conforming uses could face a six-month discontinuance clock.

Covergirls adult cabaret down-zoning, 10631 Whittier

Neighbors want the Covergirls strip club property down-zoned, but the city planner explained the club is a grandfathered non-conforming use that downzoning wouldn't eliminate. CPC suggested a cross-department protocol for monitoring when non-conforming uses shut down.
