Livonia Planning Commission tables data center rules after lengthy public hearing; Brome Modern Eatery wins 5-1 recommendation for Haggerty Road
LIVONIA — 9/24/2026
Most of the more than two dozen speakers urged tougher limits on noise, water and power — and several called for keeping data centers out of Livonia entirely — as commissioners sent the draft ordinance back to staff to "sharpen the pencil."
LIVONIA — The Livonia City Planning Commission on Tuesday night delayed a decision on the city's first-ever zoning rules for data centers, voting 6-0 to table the draft ordinance after a nearly two-hour discussion that included about 40 minutes of public comment from speakers concerned about noise, water consumption, electric reliability and property values.
The ordinance, drafted by the Planning Department, Law Department and Department of Public Works at the request of City Council, would for the first time distinguish a building full of servers from the "data processing" uses the zoning ordinance already allows in commercial and industrial districts. As proposed, stand-alone data centers would be permitted only in the city's heavy industrial M-2 district, and only as a waiver use requiring public hearings before both the Planning Commission and City Council.
Chairman Ian Wilshaw stressed that no one has applied to build a data center in Livonia. "Livonia has not received any requests to build a dedicated-use data center at this time," he said. But he noted the city's ordinances "don't currently distinguish the difference between a little network closet that's in a office building, a server room, or a hyperscale data center."
Earlier in the evening, the commission voted 5-1 to recommend approval of a waiver use allowing Brome Modern Eatery to convert the former PNC Bank branch at 19450 Haggerty Road into a full-service restaurant — but only after extracting a condition that the restaurant cannot open until construction begins on enclosing the old bank's drive-through canopy.
Commissioner Glen Long was absent. Present were Chairman Ian Wilshaw, Secretary Sam Caramagno, and Commissioners Wafa Dinaro, David Bongero, Patrick Droze and Peter Ventura. Staff in attendance included Assistant Planning Director Jacob Uhazie, Program Supervisor Stephanie Reece and City Attorney Eric S. Goldstein.
At a glance: Agenda actions
The Planning Commission does not use a formal consent agenda. Procedural items handled without debate (tabling at a petitioner's request, removal of an improperly noticed item, and approval of minutes) are grouped below as the meeting's consent-style business.
| Item | Category | Petition / Subject | Detailed description | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Consent-style / Unfinished business | Petition 2026-08-01-04 — Farrukh Moghul — Rezoning, 15150 Levan Road | Request to rezone property on the east side of Levan Road between Five Mile Road and Jamison Street (Northeast ¼ of Section 20) from C-1 (Local Business) to C-2 (General Business) to allow an electric vehicle charging lot as the principal use. The petitioner submitted a letter asking for more time. No discussion is permitted on a tabling motion. | Tabled To Oct. 13, 2026. Vote 6-0. |
| 2 | New business — Approved | Petition 2026-08-02-23 — Afor Concepts — Waiver use, Brome Modern Eatery, 19450 Haggerty Road | Waiver use under Sections 3.10 and 6.51 of the Zoning Ordinance to operate a full-service restaurant in the vacant 3,483-square-foot former PNC Bank building on the east side of Haggerty Road between Seven Mile and Eight Mile roads (Southwest ¼ of Section 6), within the Pentagon Centre Condominium. Plans call for 64 indoor seats, a 40-seat fenced patio facing Haggerty, eight employees and 56 parking spaces, with shared access and parking across Pentagon Centre. A "Phase Two" would enclose the former drive-through canopy as a second retail space. Approved with 12 conditions, including a ban on LED light bands and exposed neon, relocation of the trash enclosure behind the building, a green-space buffer around the patio, and a requirement that the petitioner return for approval of the canopy infill and not occupy the restaurant until canopy construction begins. | Approved Recommended to City Council. Vote 5-1 (Caramagno no). |
| 3 | New business — Now unfinished (pending) | Petition 2026-06-06-01 — City Planning Commission (Council referral) — Data center zoning amendments | Amendments to Sections 2.02, 3.03, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.15, 3.16, 3.17 and new Section 6.61 of the Zoning Ordinance to define and regulate data centers. Would limit data centers to M-2 as a waiver use; require 1,000-foot separation from residential land for facilities exceeding 100,000 square feet or 15 megawatts and 300 feet for facilities below both thresholds; require closed-loop cooling, utility capacity documentation, emergency-only generators, third-party acoustic studies including low-frequency sound, equipment screening, and a decommissioning plan backed by a financial guarantee. A companion change to Chapter 13.04 of the Code of Ordinances (water use) would go to City Council separately. Public hearing held and closed. | Tabled For staff revisions. Vote 6-0. No second public hearing will be held. |
| 4 | Consent-style / Unfinished business | Petition 2026-08-06-02 — City Planning Commission (Council referral) — Section 13.16, Land use moratoria | Would add a formal process allowing City Council to impose temporary zoning moratoriums (up to one year, plus one six-month extension) on emerging land uses not adequately covered by existing rules. Removed from the agenda because the item was not properly published in the newspaper; it will return at a future meeting. | Not heard Postponed; no vote. |
| 5 | Consent-style | Approval of minutes | Minutes of the 1,249th Public Hearing and Regular Meeting of Sept. 1, 2026. | Approved Without objection; Droze, absent Sept. 1, did not participate. |
| — | Denied | None | No petition was denied at this meeting. | — |
Significant events
- Large turnout for data centers. The chairman opened by noting he expected most of the audience was there for Item 3. More than 25 people spoke during the public hearing, which ran from about 8:20 p.m. to about 8:58 p.m. At one point, a speaker asked anyone in the room who wanted a hyperscale data center to raise a hand; she counted two.
- Moratorium ordinance pulled over a notice error. Item 4, which would give City Council a legal mechanism to pause new applications for a specific land use, was taken off the agenda due to "some issues with the item not getting posted properly in the press," Wilshaw said. One resident later urged the commission to pass it quickly to buy time on data centers.
- City attorney warns against a ban. City Attorney Eric S. Goldstein said an outright prohibition would invite a lawsuit the city would likely lose: "If we had a no-data-centers-here rule and got sued, that's when we would lose. And if we lost that suit, we would probably lose the ability to regulate entirely." He also said, "We're not going to be giving any tax abatements to anyone building a data center here."
- Restaurant opening tied to drive-through fix. Commissioners made clear they would not accept an abandoned bank drive-through lingering on Haggerty Road, and wrote an occupancy restriction into the Brome approval.
- No one spoke on the Brome petition. Despite the crowd, no audience members addressed Item 2.
Brome Modern Eatery: A "half a beautiful building"
Afor Concepts, the company behind the Dearborn-founded Brome Modern Eatery burger chain, plans to turn the former PNC branch — tucked between BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, J. Alexander's and the AMC Livonia 20 parking lot, across Haggerty from The Home Depot in Northville Township — into its newest location.
The site is governed by the Haggerty Road Investments Amended Consent Judgment — according to the staff report, a 1999 court settlement amended in 2004 — which allowed the bank but barred any curb cut onto Haggerty Road. Customers would enter through Pentagon Centre's existing driveways. The property became C-1 when the former OS (Office Services) district was eliminated in the city's Livonia Vision 21 zoning rewrite.
Brome founder Sam Abbas presented the plan with his architect from J&A Architectural Engineering of Bloomfield Hills, who said the dumpster had been moved and rooftop screening retained since the Sept. 15 study meeting. The petitioners said the yellow brand striping will be removed from the limestone but will remain on the brick. The petitioners described proposed LED lighting behind the perforated rooftop screen as soft, indirect 3,000-kelvin "wall wash" lighting. When the chairman asked whether the motion should address the screen lighting, Commissioner Dinaro said she had no concerns with it; the resolution as adopted keeps the condition barring LED light bands and exposed neon.
The sticking point was the drive-through canopy on the north side. The petitioners said the canopy's columns are structural and the teller equipment has already been gutted, and Abbas called Phase Two — enclosing the canopy as a second tenant space in matching brick — "essential to the success of the project." Asked what he would do if the city simply required the canopy be removed, he said he "would package that bad boy up and sell it tomorrow," because the price he paid only works with the added square footage. He offered to demolish the canopy entirely if the city would assure him he could later build an addition.
Commissioner Caramagno was unmoved. "You got a half a beautiful building here," he said. "I've been here in this Planning Commission for a number of years… Here's one half of it, and we're going to do this on the other half. Never happen." He called it "a half project in my mind."
Commissioner Droze said the commission usually works with applicants, but some of the revised materials "literally showed up on our table as we walked in tonight," adding, "I feel like we're being a little bit pressured to make a decision."
Commissioner Ventura proposed the compromise that carried the vote: the petitioner must begin construction on the canopy enclosure before receiving a certificate of occupancy for the restaurant. Abbas agreed, saying his interior build-outs typically take six to eight months. "If I don't follow up on my end, shut it down," he told the commission.
Conditions of approval (as amended on the floor)
- Site plan, Sheet C1.0 by J&A Architectural Engineering, approved and adhered to — date amended to the latest revision.
- Elevation plan, Sheet A2.2 by J&A Architectural Engineering, approved and adhered to — date amended to the latest revision.
- Landscaping restored to the Planning Director's satisfaction and permanently maintained.
- Refuse enclosure of masonry walls with metal gates, kept closed when not in use.
- Trash enclosure relocated to the east side of the building, behind the building, to minimize visibility from Haggerty Road. (Staff noted the revised plan places it on the east side but not directly behind the building; the mover kept the condition as written.)
- Light fixtures no taller than 20 feet, aimed and shielded.
- No LED light band or exposed neon anywhere on the site, including the building and windows.
- Trash receptacle for the outdoor patio, emptied regularly.
- Green-space buffer planted around the outdoor patio.
- Petitioner must return to the Planning Commission for approval of the canopy infill building (full elevations and renderings, sign details, utility plan and service-vehicle circulation plan), and the restaurant may not be occupied until construction of the canopy infill begins.
- Plans referenced in the resolution submitted to the Inspection Department with building permit applications.
- Per Section 13.13, approval valid for one year from City Council approval unless a building permit is obtained.
Department correspondence: The Engineering Division (David W. Lear, P.E., Assistant City Engineer) had no objection but noted a grease separator will be required under the city's fats, oils and grease ordinance; the architect said it is already in the construction documents. Fire Marshal Brian Kukla required 20-foot emergency access on the west side, permits and plans for hood-and-duct suppression and fire alarms, and the location of the nearest fire hydrant. Sgt. Brendan Adams of the Police Department's Traffic Bureau had no objection. Director of Inspection Jerome A. Hanna said the unused drive-through structure "should be removed or renovated," limited light trespass to 0.5 foot-candles, and said signage must conform or go to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Chief Accountant Ermon Sims reported no outstanding balances, and City Treasurer Susan M. Nash reported property taxes are current.
Data centers: What the draft would do
Uhazie walked through the highlights. The draft adds definitions for "data center," "data center accessory uses" and "data processing" to Section 2.02. A data center is a building primarily occupied by computers and telecommunications equipment processing, transferring or storing information "primarily to and from off-site locations" — including crypto mining and server farms. Servers that support an office, hospital or factory would remain an ordinary permitted use.
- Location: Prohibited in C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, ML and M-1; allowed only as a waiver use in M-2, the city's heavy-industrial district, which includes several former auto plant sites.
- Buffers: 1,000 feet from any residential land use for facilities exceeding 100,000 square feet or 15 megawatts; 300 feet for facilities below both thresholds. Staff estimated about 600 acres of M-2 land would remain eligible for large facilities (largest parcels 112, 44, 34, 33 and 31 acres) and about 1,063 acres for small ones. All of that land is currently occupied, not vacant.
- Water: Closed-loop cooling that minimizes drinking-water use. A separate Chapter 13.04 amendment would send any "large water user" of 150,000 gallons a day or more to the city's Water Board. For comparison, staff noted Michigan Dairy uses about 250,000 gallons a day.
- Power: Written proof of capacity from the utility (DTE), applicant-paid upgrades, reasonable use of renewables, and generators limited to emergencies and required testing.
- Noise: A third-party acoustic engineer must document baseline sound — including low-frequency and tonal sound — at the property line and 1,500 feet out, and operations may not exceed that baseline or city noise limits, whichever is lower. Mechanical equipment must be screened by an opaque barrier at least 12 inches taller than the equipment.
- Decommissioning: Written notice to the city when operations cease, removal of generators, fuel, batteries and cooling equipment within 12 months, and a removal plan with a financial guarantee acceptable to the City Attorney.
Public comment timeline
Times are approximate, based on the meeting video (the meeting began at 7 p.m.). Speakers were given two minutes each. Addresses are listed as stated at the podium; some speakers gave only a first name or street. All comments were on Item 3; no one spoke on Item 2.
| Time | Speaker | Summary of comments |
|---|---|---|
| 8:20 p.m. | David Underwood, Richland Street | Raised water, electricity and noise. Said Livonia uses about 14.3 million gallons of water a day through the Great Lakes Water Authority and that data centers can need roughly 1 million gallons per 100,000 square feet; cited recent large water-main breaks in Oakland County and said no GLWA upgrades are planned for Livonia. Said Michigan electric rates rank 14th highest nationally. Said once a data center is in place, it is hard to remove, and cited a recent congressional vote he said would require data centers to supply their own power. |
| 8:23 p.m. | Mark Ayres, lifelong resident | Argued economic risks outweigh short-term benefits, saying the AI industry is volatile and competing for investors. Called for regulations "way stricter," particularly on water quality and effects on wildlife. |
| 8:24 p.m. | Jim Curran, Edgewood; pastor, St. Paul's United Church of Christ, Saline | Said he is about 10 minutes from the Saline Township project. Noted Saline Township's roughly $160,000 budget versus a $6 billion proposal. Urged the commission to focus on the regulations themselves rather than relitigating whether data centers are wanted. |
| 8:25 p.m. | Trevor Wilson, Hillcrest | Asked for clearer size definitions distinguishing a network closet from hyperscale facilities, plain-language explanations of terms like "15 megawatts," and a definition of sound abatement. Questioned whether 1,000 feet is enough and noted hyperscale centers employ few permanent workers. |
| 8:27 p.m. | Kate Higgins, Melvin Street | Urged water-use limits to push operators toward alternative cooling. Warned a company could assemble multiple M-2 parcels. Said 1,000 feet is not enough for sound and that data centers would lower nearby property values. |
| 8:29 p.m. | Laura Huff Schmidt, Greenland Street | Said the long-term effects are unknown, "there is no reason for us to be a first mover," and asked what the city is doing to keep data centers out rather than let them in. |
| 8:30 p.m. | Resident, Park Street (technology industry) | Compared hyperscale power demands to a large city's usage, raised existing power outages, cited Finland's reuse of data center heat, and described residents elsewhere bothered by a constant hum. |
| 8:31 p.m. | Jerry Karasinski, Bainbridge Avenue | Said 500 feet might suffice for data centers of the size Livonia could hold. Said rooftop air cooling is a key noise source, urged sound-deadening around diesel backup generators tested monthly, and recommended prohibiting large power plants, which he said the ordinance does not address. |
| 8:33 p.m. | Tina Simpson, Aspen Drive | Has helped research the issue. Said 1,000 feet is under a quarter mile while infrasound can travel up to three miles and affect health, especially children's. Urged monitoring water quality in closed-loop systems and requiring waste-heat recycling. Wilshaw praised a University of Michigan paper he said he believed she was involved in preparing. |
| 8:35 p.m. | Jim Vega, Livonia | Said a DPW water presentation at the study meeting showed only one major water supply line enters Livonia, along Haggerty Road, and new mains would be costly and nearly impossible. Wished that presentation and a clearer 1,000-foot buffer map were shown publicly. Asked how the ordinance aligns with the city's pending noise ordinance changes. |
| 8:37 p.m. | Mike Hubbard, Six Mile Road | Warned operators may build several smaller facilities to avoid rules, comparing it to factory farms near Toledo. Said he does not trust electric costs won't rise, raised generator air pollution and low-frequency noise, and said AI does the middle class no good. |
| 8:39 p.m. | Emma Erickson, third-generation resident | Said data center job influxes have driven up housing costs and homelessness elsewhere; asked for protections so longtime residents aren't priced out. |
| 8:40 p.m. | Sandra Raczynski, 45-year resident | Learned of the meeting only through Facebook and urged better city notification. Said the city should write an ordinance to prohibit data centers: "We don't want them." |
| 8:42 p.m. | Jason Moss, moved from Saline in June | Said he has lost power eight days since June. Urged a public-benefit requirement (electrical and stormwater improvements, local hiring), at least a one-mile setback, day and night decibel limits, a petitioner-submitted sound study, evergreen screening, and a decommissioning bond such as an irrevocable letter of credit. |
| 8:43 p.m. | Natalie, first-time Livonia homeowner and critical care nurse | Described the middle class as "getting squeezed beyond belief." Said "no is a complete answer" and asked supporters of a hyperscale data center to raise their hands; two did. |
| 8:45 p.m. | Resident, Comstock Street; industrial electrician | Began his career in 1990 connecting towns with fiber optics and has worked on data centers nationwide and said they are already woven into daily life, including 911. Thanked the commission for setting rules on size, distance and appearance, and said transformer noise can be mitigated with sound enclosures. |
| 8:47 p.m. | Michael Oaks, geography professor, Madonna University | Asked whether an environmental impact statement has been or will be done, and what jobs a data center would actually bring and at what pay. |
| 8:48 p.m. | Kelly, Southampton; teacher | Invoked the city's "Families First" motto. Said her autistic son is highly sensitive to noise and asked whether the ordinance could require that a data center make no sound at all. |
| 8:50 p.m. | Resident, Vargo Street | Thanked the commission for acting early and said "not in my backyard" should not be treated as an insult; protecting residents is the purpose of planning bodies. |
| 8:51 p.m. | Chris Raczynski, Norfolk Street | Asked that noise rules account for generators running during power outages, and that decommissioning be backed by escrow covering removal costs plus about 20% for inflation. |
| 8:52 p.m. | Betsy Calhoun, Kimberly Oaks subdivision | Said good zoning is critical but more work is needed to strengthen or prohibit data centers. Urged passage of the Item 4 moratorium ordinance to buy time. |
| 8:53 p.m. | Mike Hayes, Norwich | Said about 37 data centers already operate in Metro Detroit, including in Troy, Rochester and Grosse Pointe, and suggested consulting those communities. Said "not in my backyard" is driving opposition and that contractor selection matters. |
| 8:54 p.m. | Michael Forge, Romulus resident who attends school in Livonia | Cited Romulus residents' protests against a proposed immigration detention facility, which he said is now being abandoned: "They will leave if you say no." |
| 8:55 p.m. | Justin, Livonia; former utility trainer for ITC Holdings | Described the electrical intensity around large switchyards. Questioned why the city would consider data centers after denying businesses such as a Sheetz gas station or a Taco Bell, which he said serve residents and employ young people. Said his neighborhood near Holmes Middle School loses power when the wind blows. |
| 8:57 p.m. | Theresa Allen, Savoy Court | Asked how to obtain minutes. Wilshaw said verbatim minutes are posted at livonia.gov after approval at the next meeting. |
| 8:58 p.m. | Lynn Mills | "Livonia doesn't have any pot dispensary centers. How about we say the same thing to data centers?" |
| 8:58 p.m. | Public hearing closed. | |
Commissioner and staff remarks timeline
The Planning Commission is an appointed advisory body; no City Council members gave updates at this meeting. The timeline below tracks commissioner and staff remarks. Times are approximate.
| Time | Speaker | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| 7:03 p.m. | Chairman Ian Wilshaw | Announced Item 1 would be tabled at the petitioner's request and Item 4 moved to a future meeting because of a publication problem. |
| 7:17–7:50 p.m. | Commissioners Droze, Ventura, Dinaro, Caramagno | On Brome: Droze asked about dumpster setbacks, parcel lines, rooftop screening and brand striping on limestone; Ventura confirmed parking adequacy and proposed the occupancy condition; Droze said new materials arrived at the meeting itself; Dinaro and Caramagno pressed on the timeline and guarantee for enclosing the drive-through; Caramagno called it "a half project." |
| 7:58 p.m. | Assistant Planning Director Jacob Uhazie | Presented the data center ordinance and land analysis maps. |
| 8:07 p.m. | Chairman Wilshaw | Said the ordinance is meant to control, not prevent, data centers; said he does not expect a Saline-scale facility in Livonia but that the city has buildings that could host 50,000- to 200,000-square-foot data centers. |
| 8:12–8:16 p.m. | Commissioners Ventura and Dinaro | Ventura confirmed the packet contains the full draft and that eligible M-2 acreage is not vacant. Dinaro confirmed the city currently has no authority to steer where data centers locate and asked staff to explain M-2. |
| 8:59 p.m. | Commissioner Bongero | Said a DPW water expert who presented at the study meeting should have presented publicly, noting it changed his perspective. |
| 9:00–9:05 p.m. | Commissioner Ventura; City Attorney Goldstein | Ventura asked who drafted the ordinance and what industry expertise was consulted. Goldstein said the Planning, Law and Public Works departments worked from best practices, resident research and outside consultation, watching litigation against other communities to build "a castle we can defend." |
| 9:05–9:19 p.m. | Ventura; Goldstein; Wilshaw | Ventura said the line between hyperscale and ordinary data centers is unclear, citing a longtime Comerica Bank data center at the corner of Six Mile and Haggerty roads that bothered no one, and asked for an inventory of existing facilities. Goldstein said definitions can be sharpened. Wilshaw explained the three-tier terminology and warned exclusionary zoning could let a judge decide a data center's size and location. |
| 9:20–9:28 p.m. | Wilshaw; Goldstein; Commissioner Droze | Wilshaw said he proposed the decommissioning language; Goldstein credited the Planning Department with drafting it. Droze asked to combine "data processing and computer centers" into one defined term, whether the city or applicant picks the acoustic engineer, and to replace "three sides" screening with full enclosure using sound-dampening material. |
| 9:29–9:36 p.m. | Wilshaw; Droze; Goldstein; a commissioner | Wilshaw summarized sound rules. Droze asked how noise limits would be enforced; Goldstein described escalating tools from warnings to misdemeanor prosecution and nuisance abatement in circuit court. A commissioner urged scheduled sound inspections once or twice a year. |
| 9:37–9:44 p.m. | Ventura; Goldstein; Uhazie | Ventura asked for a grace period before infrastructure must be removed so a building could be re-tenanted, asked whether existing facilities would become nonconforming, and flagged a possible loophole where a small office could make a large server building "accessory." Goldstein and Uhazie said no qualifying data centers exist today and agreed the loophole needs closing. |
| 9:44–9:46 p.m. | Droze; Goldstein | Droze cited a former AT&T building on Merriman Road north of Plymouth Road and asked staff to check telecom facilities. Goldstein suggested grandfathering language. |
| 9:49 p.m. | Droze; a commissioner | Droze moved to table; another commissioner asked that the full discussion be recognized as reasons for tabling. |
| 9:54 p.m. | Chairman Wilshaw | Adjourned, thanking Livonia Community Television and the audience. |
What the commission asked staff to fix
Droze's tabling motion, supported by Caramagno, directed staff to:
- Define "data processing and computer centers" as a single term, matching how it appears throughout the use tables.
- Change Section 6.61's equipment screening from "encompassed on three sides" to fully "encompassed," with an opaque barrier that is also sound-dampening.
- Address the broader discussion, which a commissioner asked be included as grounds for tabling: clearer definitions between hyperscale and ordinary data centers, an inventory of existing facilities and grandfathering, closing the loophole that could let a small office make a large server building an accessory use, a re-tenanting window before infrastructure removal, and sound-monitoring enforcement.
Because the public hearing is closed, the item returns as pending business with commissioner discussion only, before a recommendation goes to City Council, which will hold its own hearings.
