Planning commission recommends Chick‑fil‑A final planned development for board approval
Summary
The Hartland Township Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Chick‑fil‑A Final Planned Development (SP/PD #26‑003) for a 1.65‑acre parcel at 10587 Highland Road, subject to conditions including rezoning the property to PD and several engineering, permitting and easement requirements.
The Hartland Township Planning Commission voted unanimously on Feb. 12 to recommend approval of Site Plan Application SP/PD #26‑003, the Final Planned Development Site Plan for Chick‑fil‑A at 10587 Highland Road, to the Township Board.
Director Langer described the location as east of US‑23 and north of M‑59 on the former Big Boy site and explained the Planned Development (PD) process. "Tonight is the Final Review where the Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the Township Board," Langer said. Commissioner Grissim moved the recommendation and Commissioner Murphy seconded; after a minor correction the motion carried unanimously.
The recommendation is subject to multiple conditions listed in the staff memorandum dated Feb. 5, 2026, including a rezoning of the approximately 1.65‑acre parcel (Tax Parcel ID #4708‑21‑400‑062) from GC (General Commercial) to PD (Planned Development); addressing outstanding Planning Department memo items; recordable PD and easement documents; compliance with requirements of the Township engineering consultant, Department of Public Works, fire code, Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), Livingston County Road Commission (LCRC), Livingston County Drain Commission (LCDC) and other agencies; and a temporary 30‑day closure of the Hartland Road access drive upon issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
The Planning Commission's approval is a recommendation only; the Township Board will take final action on the rezoning and PD agreement. The minutes record no public opposition to the site plan at the hearing. The commission corrected a clerical item before adopting the recommendation and recorded the vote as unanimous.
