About Kalamazoo Central Business
District
Kalamazoo Central Business District, located between Arcadia Creek and Bronson Park, is a commercial and cultural Kalamazoo neighborhood with a walkable street grid and a strong arts calendar. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Kalamazoo Mall at S Burdick Street and W Michigan Avenue, where storefronts, cafes, galleries, and late-night venues line the pedestrian blocks. The Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, the historic State Theatre, and Bell’s Eccentric Cafe act as local pillars for exhibits, films, and live music. Brick mid-rises and restored facades frame pocket plazas and public art. Arcadia Creek Festival Place adds a riverside edge for events and open-air gatherings. Downtown offices, apartments, and campus energy from nearby WMU keep the sidewalks active.

Residential, Multi-Dwelling District
The primary purpose of the RM districts is to accommodate the development of multi-unit housing i.e., more than one dwelling unit per lot. The districts are intended to create, maintain and promote a mix of housing opportunities for City residents. RM-15C. The RM-15C district is intended to protect and enhance those areas developed or likely to develop with medium-density, multiple-family dwellings close to institutions of higher education. The district regulations are designed to promote a suitable environment for a variety of residential types and provide regulations to address increased off-street parking needs, ensure building designs that are compatible with a campus community and prevent overcrowding. The RM-15C district has higher parking requirements for multifamily dwellings, to reflect the generally higher occupancy of such units near institutions of higher education.
