Planning

The Planning Department was created in 1996 to coordinate growth and guide development and redevelopment in the Township.  Over the years, the Planning Department has grown and expanded its role, and is now under the Community Development Department, along with Building, Ordinance Enforcement, and Parks & Recreation.

The Planning Division coordinates and provides staff support for the Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals.  We are charged with enforcing and maintaining the zoning ordinance, as well as implementing the Land Use Master Plan. Additionally, the Planning Division is responsible for processing and reviewing all rezoning requests, site plan applications, special land use permits, and private road applications.  We also oversee the completion of the required site construction and documentation for all of the development projects within the Township to ensure compliance. 

Please feel free to contact the Planning Division with any questions you have.
