GRAND RAPIDS, MI – A waiver of required on-site parking is being sought for a $17 million redevelopment that’s bringing New Holland Brewing Co. to the city’s West Side.

Grand Rapids Planning Commission on Thursday, Jan. 8, will consider permits for alcohol production and sales, outdoor alcohol service and live entertainment. Rockford Development Group also is requesting a waiver of 286 required parking spaces.

The current plan calls for 11 on-site parking spaces.

“We are evaluating several off-street parking options within 500 feet of the site,” developers Jeffery Edwards and Kurt Hassberger wrote in an application to the city.

"There are over 1,000 public parking spaces available within 500 feet of the property south of Bridge Street. There are an additional 200 private parking spaces that could be leased within 300 feet of the site.”

Rockford plans to tear down the former Cina-Mini II theater and neighboring Classic Lingerie and Video store and put up two new buildings on Bridge, between Broadway and Turner avenues.

New Holland will take up the bottom half of a 4-story building at Bridge and Broadway, with about 15,000-square-feet of commercial office space available on the upper two floors. A five-story building on Turner will include apartments above 2,700-square-feet of ground-floor retail space.

Plans show that the brewery will include about 10,000-square-feet of restaurant and bar space indoors, along with 800-square-feet of retail space. A 4,500-square-foot outdoor beer garden and about 1,000-square-feet of outdoor dining also are planned. An estimated 150 jobs are expected.

The apartment building will have 17 one-bedroom apartments ranging in size from 622 square-feet to 833 square-feet, 12 studio apartments ranging in size from 468 square-feet to 600 square-feet, and seven 2-bedroom apartments ranging in size from 903 square-feet to 958 square-feet, according to plans filed with the city.

The city Planning Commission on Thursday also will consider rezoning the property to accommodate the redevelopment, and will consider amending part of the zoning code to allow the building height that’s proposed.

Based on the proposed city zoning for the site, the new redevelopment requires 286 parking spaces. Rockford plans to put 11 covered parking spaces behind the apartment building.
