Waverly P&Z proposes updates to definitions: RVs, setbacks and repealed citations

Waverly Township Planning & Zoning Commission · September 8, 2025

Summary

Commissioners found multiple definition issues in Article X — an outdated 1970 citation, a repealed reference to Act 419, and inconsistent lot and setback wording — and asked staff to modernize definitions and fix numbering and punctuation errors.

The commission scrutinized Article X (Definitions) and identified several items that require revision. Members noted a boilerplate citation referencing a 1970 citation dictionary and recommended replacing it with a current Webster's reference; they also identified a repealed statutory citation (Act 419, PA 1976) that will need its updated citation.

Commissioners asked staff to correct numbering and punctuation errors, collapse overlapping lot definitions into a single standard definition, modernize the recreational vehicle definition, and consider changing the 'Setback' definition language to clarify right-of-way treatment. Staff will return revised language for further review.
