Infill Design Review

Infill Design Review requires plans be reviewed administratively for compliance with UDO Section 39-9.09: Infill Design Review Standards. The intent of this review is to: 

  1. Protect the visual character and economic stability of the neighborhoods located primarily within the CNR Cottage Neighborhood Residential and the TNR Traditional Neighborhood Residential Zone Districts; 
  2. Preserve and protect the public welfare and property values in these established residential neighborhoods; 
  3. Eliminate design incompatibility, promote complementary design, and enable a diversity of styles that maintain the attractiveness of the residential neighborhoods; 
  4. Provide reasonable deviations from the standards of review where necessary to include features that facilitate access to persons with disabilities or limited mobility.

Pattern Book Resources


The Michigan Municipal League recently published a two-volume set of guides and copyright-free construction plans to give communities the tools to create new homes right where residents want to live. The Pattern Book Homes for 21st Century Michigan takes cues from historic precedents, cuts down on the cost of design, and offers zoning reform tools to streamline review.

Please find the entire resource at this LINK.

The City of Holland encourages the use of the MML Pattern Book Homes when planning for residential construction in all central city neighborhoods, including those subject to Infill Design Review.
