The township is fixing map errors across 165 properties in 13 wards to align zoning designations with actual land uses like parks and residences.
Planning Commission - Sep 22, 2026
The township's zoning map has errors dating back years — homes zoned as parks, split-zoned lots, and mislabeled civic sites. Fixing the map should make permit applications less confusing for homeowners, without changing taxes or allowing new commercial uses on residential streets.
