Overview

This Brush Park Form-Based Code (FBC) was adopted in 2020 and amended in 2023. It is intended to provide the public with a predictable vision of the built environment in the Brush Park neighborhood. This Form-Based Code regulates land development using form as the primary basis to define the developing character of the neighborhood. It also creates opportunities for medium-density mixed-use development while incorporating elements from the Brush Park Rehabilitation Project Fourth Modified Development Plan, the City of Detroit Master Plan of Policies for the Brush Park neighborhood, and the design guidelines for the Brush Park and Brewster-Wheeler Recreation Center Historic Districts. Additionally, the code establishes civic space for community recreational use, encourages pedestrian-friendly streets and the advancement of a walkable urban neighborhood. The organizing principle for this code is a hierarchy of street types that determines the placement of specific building types and by-right uses based on intensity.
