Planning commission approves 10‑foot setback for temporary outdoor dining at Beyond Juicery on Ford Road
Summary
The commission authorized a 10‑foot front‑yard setback modification to allow a 16‑seat outdoor dining area on the existing front patio of 42645 Ford Road, subject to compliance with outdoor dining standards in the zoning ordinance.
The planning commission approved a modification allowing Beyond Juicery & Eatery at 42645 Ford Road to operate a temporary outdoor dining area with 16 seats in the front yard setback. Patrick Sloan said the building was constructed with an existing front patio and Canton’s outdoor‑dining standards allow the planning commission to reduce the 50‑foot front‑yard requirement; staff recommended a 10‑foot setback for the patio with compliance to section 6.02A (barrier, lighting, furniture, and safety details) and other state/county/township requirements.
No public speakers addressed the specific item; commissioners approved the 10‑foot setback with a unanimous roll call vote. Staff noted several technical items (barrier specifications, lighting, table and chair details) that the applicant must satisfy as routine compliance steps before final issuance of the permit.
