Board holds second reading of zoning amendment to allow separate use of contiguous nonconforming lots
Summary
At the Jan. 14 meeting the Board heard a second reading of a zoning code amendment that would allow two or more contiguous nonconforming lots in single ownership to be sold or used separately if they meet conditions and receive Planning Commission approval; conditions include utility connection, road frontage, and sufficient area to meet setbacks.
Supervisor Ann Marie Graham Hudak said the meeting included the second reading of an amendment to the township's zoning code of ordinances addressing nonconforming lots.
Hudak described the proposal as allowing two or more contiguous nonconforming lots in single ownership to be sold or used separately under certain conditions and subject to Planning Commission approval. She said the proposed conditions include the lots being planned in connection to utilities, having frontage on an approved road, and possessing sufficient area, width or principal building size to comply with the setback requirements of the zoning district.
The Jan. 14 summary presents the substance of the second reading but does not record whether the amendment was adopted, amended further, or tabled. Those seeking the full discussion or the official ordinance text should consult the full board meeting video or the township's published meeting materials.
Why it matters: The amendment would change how contiguous nonconforming lots held in the same ownership can be treated for sale or development, potentially affecting property owners and future development patterns within the township.
Next steps: The summary does not state the final vote or outcome of the second reading; for a record of any formal action, refer to the board's official minutes and ordinance postings.
