Washington Township Updates its Land Use Plan
Posted on 05/22/2024

Washington Township is in the final stages of updated its Comprehensive Land Use Plan and community input has been a vital part of the process.

First, a community-wide survey was conducted over the summer to solicit feedback about a variety of zoning, development, and infrastructure topics.

Next, Washington Township held an open house in late August to gather feedback and hear directly from residents.

The items and presentations that were shared at the open house can be found below, in the document repository.

What is a Comprehensive Land Use Plan?
A Comprehensive Plan defines land use and development framework for various areas in the Township such as housing, transportation, and economic development.

Ultimately, all the feedback collected from residents will be used as recommendations to help guide land use policy, funding, resource decisions, and infrastructure as the Township continues updating the Comprehensive Plan.

Next Steps
Washington Township will compile a draft plan to be reviewed by the Zoning Commission and Township Trustees. This review will happen on:

December 2, 2024 at 6:30pm
Washington Township Government Center
8200 McEwen Rd.

The public is invited to the review and the draft plan is available in the document repository below.
