Allendale Planning Commission approves zoning text amendments, including changes to outdoor wood boiler rules
Summary
The Allendale Charter Township Planning Commission on June 15 approved zoning text amendments covering existing PUDs, outdoor wood boilers and temporary moratorium authority; a modification to Section 470-23.22B changes wording to “occupied commercial or industrial building.”
The Allendale Charter Township Planning Commission approved a package of zoning text amendments at its June 15 meeting in the Allendale Township Public Meeting Room. The commission voted 4-0 to adopt changes affecting several sections of the zoning ordinance, including provisions on existing planned unit developments and outdoor wood boilers.
Chairperson Mark Adams opened a public hearing on the amendments and, after no members of the public spoke, closed it. Commissioner Rick Westerling moved to approve the amendments with a specified wording modification to Section 470-23.22B to read “occupied commercial or industrial building.” Commissioner Bruce Zeinstra seconded the motion, and it passed unanimously.
The amendments listed in the motion include Section 470-12.11 (Existing Approved PUDs), Section 470-23.22A (Outdoor Wood Boilers), Section 470-23.22B (Outdoor Wood Boilers, as modified), and Section 470-3.19 (Authority to Impose a Temporary Moratorium of Zoning Ordinance Provisions). The meeting record does not include additional detail on the substantive text changes beyond the correction to the Section 470-23.22B wording.
The approvals of the agenda and of the May 4 and May 18 minutes were handled earlier in the meeting by unanimous votes. No site plan reviews, new business items, or public comments related to the zoning amendments were recorded during the meeting.
The commission adjourned at 7:10 p.m.; its next scheduled meeting is July 6, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.
