Important Oxford Hamlet Announcement from Elizabeth Zeller, City Planner. Note the ways to make your voice heard should you choose to express concerns!
The previously agreed upon size of the units and amount of green space are being petitioned to make the units larger and the green space smaller, which will leave a lasting impact on the surrounding neighborhoods.

I wanted to bring to your attention that the Planning Commission will be considering an application from the developer of Breton Hamlet for amendments to the development. All property owners and residents within 300’ of the property were sent postcards notifying them of the hearing.
The Grand Rapids Planning Commission will hold public hearings on the following matters on Thursday, May 28, 2026, in the City Commission Chambers of City Hall, 9th floor, 300 Monroe Ave NW, beginning at 1:00 p.m. or soon thereafter.

Oxford Hamlet LLC (Brad Rottschaffer) is requesting Site Plan Review approval to amend the approved Breton Hamlet site plan to increase the size and height of various units within the development, to reduce the width of the courtyards within the cottage court units, and to reduce the side yard setback for the northwesterly dwelling unit. The request will be evaluated by the Planning Commission for compliance with the standards of Article 5 and Section 5.12.08. of the Zoning Ordinance.
