Board introduces rezoning for 375 N Telegraph Rd; schedules possible adoption
Summary
The Board introduced Ordinance 2026-Z-005 to rezone 375 N Telegraph Rd to M-1 Light Industrial, forwarding the item to the April 27 agenda for possible adoption after a unanimous introduction vote.
The Charter Township of Waterford Board on April 13 introduced Ordinance 2026-Z-005, a proposed Zoning Map amendment that would rezone a parcel at 375 N Telegraph Road from a split of M-2/ C-4 with an overlay to M-1 Light Industrial.
Development Services Director Jeffrey Polkowski explained the proposal’s rationale: a 250-foot strip on the property currently zoned C-4 with the Summit Place overlay would be rezoned so the entire parcel is zoned M-1 Light Industrial as a planned step to allow a proposed new and used vehicle dealer with outdoor display. Staff told the Board that the petitioner’s request also had a favorable recommendation from the Planning Commission (unanimous) and that Oakland County planning staff recommended approval in the county review process.
The Board voted to introduce the ordinance and place it on the April 27, 2026 agenda for possible adoption; trustees indicated the Planning Commission findings and county coordination supported forwarding the ordinance for final consideration. The introductory motion passed unanimously.
If adopted on April 27, the ordinance’s effective date will be eight days after publication or later if a timely voter referendum petition is filed under the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act. The Board’s introduction begins the formal adoption process but does not change zoning until adoption and required publication procedures are complete.
