Zoning of two properties on South State Street – 1643 and 1645 S. State – as C1 (local business district) has received initial approval from the Ann Arbor city council. One of those properties houses Biercamp Artisan Sausage and Jerky.
The currently unzoned parcels – located in Ward 4 just south of Stimson and the Produce Station – are owned by Stefan Hofmann. The site at 1645 S. State is used for storage. In addition to housing Biercamp, the parcel at 1643 S. State also includes an auto repair shop and furniture manufacturer, which is primarily a woodworking shop.
Action to give initial approval of the zoning came at the city council's Jan. 21, 2014 meeting. A second vote by the council after a public hearing at a future meeting is required for final approval.
Warpehoski told councilmembers that the Biercamp owners are supportive of the C-1 zoning.
