Chairperson Richard Slee called the public hearing for the zoning ordinance changes to order.

Present: Slee, Kyler, Blair, Hall, Baker, Martinez, Slucter

Also present: Jim Foulds, Vern Fountain

Jim Foulds explained that we are creating two industrial zonings - one heavy & one light. This will eliminate the need for everything to have Special Use Permits in Industrial. It will give the township more flexibility.

Slucter asked which industrial the current will fall into? They will become M-1 Light.

Blair asked if Special Use Permits would go with them? If non-conforming it would fall under 6.7 pg 105 in current ordinance.

Foulds also stated the following:

The areas of child care & adult foster care is to clean up the current usage and definitions.
