Trustees formalize link between Chapter 3 zoning districts and Appendix E uses
Summary
After review by legal counsel, zoning staff and regional planning, trustees unanimously approved amendments tying the Appendix E use matrix to Chapter 3 zoning districts to clarify permitted uses and reduce interpretive gaps.
The board unanimously approved a pair of zoning ordinance edits Sept. 3 that explicitly tie Appendix E (the township's schedule-of-uses matrix) to Chapter 3 zoning-district language. Zoning staff said legal counsel recommended the change to create an explicit legal link so that uses listed in Appendix E are enforceable against the zoning district rules in Chapter 3.
"This ties the two legally from one chapter to the next," Mike Lad said, explaining the purpose of the amendment. Regional planning and the zoning commission reviewed and supported the changes, and no public comments were received during the hearings. Trustees approved the amendments by roll call.
Staff said the change is largely clarifying language to reduce confusion for applicants and staff when a use is not spelled out in the primary Chapter 3 text but appears in the Appendix E matrix. The board did not identify any immediate budgetary impacts.
