Supervisors direct staff to draft ordinance tightening lot sizes, setbacks and development standards
Summary
Based on Planning Commission recommendations, the board authorized staff to prepare and advertise an ordinance that would increase minimum lot sizes and setbacks across zoning districts, set a 24‑foot minimum road width in developments, and address duplex, townhouse and multi‑family density standards; existing submitted plans would be grandfathered.
The Antrim Township Board of Supervisors discussed proposed zoning ordinance changes on June 23 and authorized staff to draft and advertise the amendments recommended by the Planning Commission. The changes discussed include increasing minimum lot sizes and setbacks across zoning districts, establishing minimum road width of 24 feet in developments, specifying duplex lot sizes and driveway turnarounds, limiting the maximum number of townhouses in a row, and setting an apartment density factor for multi‑family development.
Supervisors instructed staff to advertise the proposed ordinance according to legal requirements; the minutes note that plans already formally submitted will be grandfathered and not subject to the new regulations. The action was taken by motion and passed 4‑0, initiating the formal ordinance drafting and public review process.
