City of Ypsilanti, Michigan

The Master Plan is an official document that describes long-range goals for the City of Ypsilanti and outlines policies for reaching those goals. The Plan serves as the statutory basis for the Zoning Ordinance, and guides the Planning Commission and other entities in their decision-making process.  The current Master Plan was created in 1997, though several minor revisions have been made since that time.
