Executive Summary:
Zoning Ordinance Updates:
– A public hearing was held on June 3 to gather comments on the proposed zoning ordinance updates. The Planning Commission (PC) chair will compile the comments into a spreadsheet for further review by PC members.
– The PC has scheduled three special meetings in June and July to continue the zoning ordinance update process.
Site Plan Moratorium:
– The current site plan review moratorium is set to expire on June 30, 2024. The PC is requesting an extension of the moratorium to the end of August 2024 to allow more time to complete the zoning ordinance updates.
Aligning Policies, Roles, & Responsibilities:
– The township has a blended model of a Zoning Administrator and a Township Planner, and the duties have evolved over time. The PC is proposing updates to its bylaws to reflect the current roles and responsibilities.
Complaint Process/Procedure:
– There is a concern that the process for submitting complaints to the township is not readily available or easily accessible to the public. The PC is proposing to post a general outline of the complaint procedure on the township website.
Medical Marijuana:
– The township’s stance on medical marijuana is unclear, as there is no record of a resolution opting in or out of the medical marijuana regulations. The PC will further discuss this issue and determine if any additional steps are required.
