Notice is hereby given that there will be a Public Hearing held before the Charter Township of Washington Planning Commission on Thursday, May 8th, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. in the Washington Township Municipal Building Board Room located at 57900 Van Dyke, Washington Township, MI 48094.
The purpose of this Public Hearing is to hear and receive comments related to the proposed text amendments to the Township’s Sign Ordinance. The purposes of amending the Township’s Sign ordinance are to: move sign regulations from Township Ordinance 183.000 to the Zoning Ordinance for ease of use by staff and applicants; remove the existing sunset provision on non-conforming signs; protect First Amendment rights and ensure conformance with recent case law pertaining to sign regulations; remove conflicting provisions; and ensure sign regulations adequately address modern sign industry standards and practices (including outdoor advertising/billboards).
A copy of the proposed text amendment is available on the Township Website (washingtontownship.org) on the Planning & Zoning Department page under the side tab labeled, “Upcoming PC Agenda Items”.
If you are unable to attend the public hearing, you can mail your comments in advance or drop them off at the Planning and Zoning Department inside the Washington Township Municipal Building prior to the date of the meeting. You may also email your comments up until the day of the meeting to: planning@washingtontwpmi.org
