City of Inkster
Annual Public Participation Plan Update
Reporting Period: July 2025 – July 2026

Purpose
This memo provides an annual update on the City of Inkster’s public engagement eƯorts in support
of Redevelopment Ready Communities Best Practice 1.4. The City’s 2024 Public Participation Plan
establishes a framework for meaningful, inclusive, and transparent public participation in planning
and redevelopment decisions. The plan emphasizes centering the community, gathering stories,
using multiple communication tools, sharing information publicly, building trust, and evaluating
engagement eƯorts over time.

Public Engagement Activities
During the reporting period, the City continued to use a range of public participation methods to
inform residents, gather input, and strengthen transparency. Engagement activities included public
hearings, Planning Commission and City Council meetings, Master Plan implementation updates,
zoning ordinance discussions, redevelopment-related outreach, online surveys, and public
communication through City channels.
The City also advanced several community-centered initiatives that support the goals of the Public
Participation Plan:
Voices of Inkster Campaign:
As part of the Be Inkster campaign, the City completed several interviews with community
stakeholders and advocates, including the Funkateers. These interviews help elevate resident and
community voices, document local stories, and strengthen public communication around Inkster’s
identity, culture, and future vision. The stories collected through Voices of Inkster will be used to
support the Be Inkster campaign, strengthen public-facing marketing materials, highlight community
identity, inform redevelopment messaging.
Zoning Ordinance Adoption:
The City completed a major public planning process with the adoption of the updated Chapter 155
Zoning Ordinance. The ordinance was reviewed through the Planning Commission process, including
a final review and public hearing on March 23, 2026, before being adopted by City Council on April
20, 2026. This eƯort reflects implementation of the Master Plan and demonstrates the City’s
continued use of public meetings, public hearings, board and commission review, and City Council
action to advance planning and redevelopment priorities.
Page 21 of 91

Clean Blocks Initiative:
The Clean Blocks Initiative provides another opportunity for public participation by engaging
residents around neighborhood conditions, code enforcement concerns, blight reduction, and
shared responsibility for cleaner, safer, and better-maintained blocks. The initiative includes ongoing
community meetings held every fourth Thursday of the month, creating a regular forum for
residents to share concerns, identify priority areas, receive updates, and participate in problemsolving with City staƯ and partners.

Implementation Tracking
To support ongoing implementation of the Public Participation Plan, the City should continue
referencing the Public Participation Plan as the coordinating structure for engagement tracking and
continuous improvement.
The Advisory Committee can help follow through on the implementation tracking outlined in the
Public Participation Plan by reviewing annual engagement activities, identifying gaps, supporting
public reporting, recommending improvements to outreach methods, and helping determine
whether engagement eƯorts are reaching diverse residents and stakeholders.
This approach aligns with the Public Participation Plan’s emphasis on building a core team,
facilitating cross-sector collaboration, organizing and analyzing engagement data, and using public
feedback to inform future decisions.

Next Steps
The City will continue preparing an annual Public Participation Plan update as part of its RRC documentation.
The update may be shared with City Council, presented as a standalone memo or presentation, or included
in the Annual Planning Commission Report.
Specific next steps include:
•

•

•

Summarize major engagement themes annually, including feedback received through public
hearings, Clean Blocks, Voices of Inkster, Master Plan implementation activities, zoningrelated meetings, redevelopment outreach, code enforcement surveys, and hotline
submissions.
Track communication and feedback tools used, such as the City website, social media,
public notices, meetings, surveys, interviews, community events, the code enforcement
survey, and the Clean Blocks, and code enforcement hotline.
Review code enforcement survey and hotline data to identify recurring neighborhood
concerns, priority areas, service gaps, and opportunities for improved resident
communication and follow-up.

Purpose

This memorandum presents the annual update on the City of Inkster’s public engagement
efforts for the reporting period of July 2025 through July 2026. This report supports
compliance with the Redevelopment Ready Communities (RRC) Best Practice 1.4 and
evaluates progress under the City’s 2024 Public Participation Plan.

Key Engagement Highlights

During the past year, the City utilized various engagement tools—including public
hearings, commission meetings, surveys, and direct outreach—to keep residents informed
and involved in key local planning decisions.
• Voices of Inkster Campaign: As part of the broader Be Inkster campaign, the City
conducted stakeholder interviews, including with community groups like the
Funkateers. These efforts document local history and identity while shaping future
redevelopment messaging.
• Chapter 155 Zoning Ordinance Adoption: Implementation of the Master Plan
reached a major milestone with the adoption of the updated Chapter 155 Zoning
Ordinance. The adoption process included a final Planning Commission public
hearing on March 23, 2026, followed by formal City Council approval on April 20,
2026.
• Clean Blocks Initiative: To address neighborhood conditions, blight, and code
enforcement, the City hosts ongoing monthly meetings every fourth Thursday. This
regular forum provides residents a direct line to staff for collaborative problemsolving.

Implementation & Continuous Improvement

To build on this progress, staff and the Advisory Committee will continue to use the 2024
Public Participation Plan to track outreach metrics, analyze engagement data, and ensure
participation reflects the full diversity of Inkster residents.

Next Steps

1. Consolidate Feedback: Summarize major themes across public hearings, survey
submissions, and hotline inputs.

Page 23 of 91

2. Evaluate Communication Channels: Review the effectiveness of public notices, the
website, social media, and community meetings.
3. Analyze Code Enforcement Data: Utilize survey and hotline data to identify recurring
neighborhood concerns, service gaps, and opportunities for follow-up.

REVIEW OF SPECIAL LAND USE
The following standards are applicable to all SLU applications.
1.

HARMONY WITH MASTER PLAN.
In accordance with the 2025 Master Plan, the subject site’s Future Land Use (FLU) is designated
as Neighborhood Mixed Use, which permits a wide variety of retail and commercial uses that serve
Inkster and the surrounding communities. The proposed use appears to align with the Master Plan.

2.

HARMONY WITH EXISTING CHARACTER.
No changes are proposed to the existing structure. The proposed use will utilize the 1st-floor area.

3.

IMPROVEMENT TO THE COMMUNITY.
Continuing active use at this site, as proposed, will be an economic improvement to the vicinity.

4.

ADEQUATE PUBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES.
The capacity of the City’s infrastructure and services appears to be sufficient to accommodate the
proposed facility.

5.

SMOKE, FUME, GLARE, NOISE, VIBRATION OR ODOR POLLUTION
The subject site is an existing business, and the anticipated impact of a cigar lounge is not expected
to detract from the area. Should the Planning Commission have further questions regarding this
section, we recommend that they be directed towards the applicant, who should be able to provide
further clarity on the intended business operation.

6.

REDUCTION OF ECONOMIC VIABILITY
The proposed use is anticipated to increase economic viability.

7.

EXCESSIVE OR ADDITIONAL COSTS TO PUBLIC SERVICES
The proposed Special Land Use is not expected to impose additional service demands upon the
City.

The proposed Special Land Use appears to be consistent with the zoning ordinance.

*Note: The Planning and Development Department did receive a note from the public stating that they
were not in favor of the proposed use. The note is provided in the Commissioners' package.
