Brush Park, located between Downtown Detroit and Midtown, is a historic and modern Detroit neighborhood with Victorian mansions and new high-rise living. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Woodward Avenue at Mack Avenue, where arena-night energy meets coffee counters, cocktail bars, and design-forward storefronts. Community pillars include the Detroit Institute of Arts, The Fillmore Detroit, and the historic Second Baptist Church. Restored brick townhomes and ornate 19th-century homes sit beside contemporary apartments, creating a streetscape built for walking. Pocket parks and wide sidewalks frame views toward the skyline and the Cultural Center. Comerica Park and Little Caesars Arena shape the calendar with concerts and games.

PD
Planned Development District
The PD Planned Development District will permit planned developments throughout the City and will be particularly useful in district areas established in accordance with Section 74 of the Michigan Blighted Area Rehabilitation Act, being MCL 125.74, for urban renewal. Such planned developments shall be substantially in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Master Plan, by having a major land use that corresponds to the most general category of land use, which are residential, retail and local services, industrial, mixed use, parks and open space and other, proposed in the Master Plan for the area involved. Such planned developments shall provide a desirable environment for the uses proposed and shall not be out of harmony with their general surroundings. The regulations of the district are designed to accomplish this by permitting flexibility in overall development while ensuring adequate safeguards and standards for public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare and, where applicable, encouraging historic preservation. Developers are advised to confer with the Planning and Development Department or the City Planning Commission to ensure compliance with this Code before investing large amounts of time and energy in preparing plans and proposals. The review and approval procedures for developments on land zoned PD are specified in Article III, Division 4, of this chapter.
