Commission approves technical cleanups: Knox‑box coordination, casino use language, and rental license custody
Summary
Members agreed to add a technical note to require Knox‑box site visits with the fire chief, asked staff to draft a special‑exception path for casino/gaming uses, and supported assigning rental operating license issuance to the zoning officer rather than the township secretary.
Kate (S4) asked the commission to add a technical clarification requiring property owners to schedule code enforcement site visits with the fire chief for Knox‑box installations; commissioners agreed the chief already participates in practice and supported adding the procedural requirement into the ordinance for clarity.
On other cleanups, S4 proposed adding a zoning use or special‑exception route for casino/gaming facilities to reflect recent state law changes. Staff noted that, absent a specific use listing, applicants must seek a special exception from the zoning hearing board; commissioners directed staff to draft appropriate use language and consider whether special‑exception or an overlay approach is preferable.
Finally, S4 and staff agreed to change the rental‑operating license issuance from the township secretary to the zoning officer as a permitting technicality. The commission asked attorney Miller to prepare final wording for solicitor review and to return the consolidated amendment package for formal consideration.
Action at close: S3 moved to adjourn and members agreed; staff will compile and circulate the proposed ordinance drafts.
