Planning commission backs zoning changes clarifying religious land‑use standards
Summary
After a brief public hearing, commissioners recommended approval of ordinance amendments clarifying religious land‑use provisions and related sections of the zoning code; the motion passed unanimously.
The Canton Township Planning Commission opened and immediately closed a public hearing on a proposed zoning text amendment clarifying land‑use standards for religious institutions and related ordinance sections, then voted to recommend approval to the township board.
Staff said no changes had been made since the commission’s prior review and that the draft ordinance edits streamline references across multiple sections. Commissioner Foster made the motion to recommend approval, which passed unanimously by roll call.
The recommendation forwards the draft ordinance (affecting multiple sections identified in the motion) to the township board for final consideration.
Next steps: the board of trustees will consider the proposed text amendments at a future meeting; staff will provide the ordinance language and a summary of changes to the board.
