Planning commission reviews zoning amendments; resident opposes cell towers
Summary
At the Aug. 21, 2025 meeting, Township Planner Adam Young reviewed proposed zoning ordinance amendments including changes to committee membership, site-plan and parking rules, temporary special land-use duration, short-term rentals, and R1-C/R1-D lot coverage; a resident spoke against cell towers.
The Harrison Township Planning Commission on Aug. 21, 2025 reviewed highlighted items from a proposed zoning-ordinance amendments packet that would change multiple development rules and technical-review procedures.
Township Planner Adam Young summarized the packet’s items, which included adding the Public Services Director and the Fire Marshal to the Technical Committee, revising site-plan submission requirements and the development-impact-statement requirement, updating fencing and screening and off-street parking rules, shortening the temporary special land-use period from five years to two years, addressing short-term rental regulations, increasing maximum lot-coverage and impervious-surface coverage for the R1-C and R1-D districts, and revising Planned Unit Development requirements. Young also said the packet included language regarding cell towers, a topic raised at a recent Township Board meeting.
During 'Comments from the Floor,' resident C. William Bardill of 37865 Pointe Rosa spoke in opposition to cell towers. The minutes record his opposition but do not specify the technical or locational details of his concerns.
No formal action on the ordinance amendments is recorded in the minutes; the items were discussed as part of ongoing ordinance revision work. The Planning Commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for Sept. 18, 2025.
