LCPC 10/20/2026

The Leelanau County Planning Commission meeting was held October 20, 2026. The commission reviewed Gaston Township’s proposed zoning text amendment PC 14 2026-07 concerning procedures for temporary moratoria. Members discussed duration and extensions, how applications already under review would be handled, and the need to balance flexibility for townships with clarity for applicants and due-process considerations. A motion to approve the commission’s recommendation with comments was seconded and carried; the transcript does not specify the individual comments in detail. No procurement, contract award, or spending decision was identified.

Staff also discussed the planning document schedule, including a possible November review followed by a 42-day public-comment period and public hearing, and shared brief parks updates, including parking-lot issues at Veronica Valley. The commission raised the idea of seeking feedback from local bodies on how its recommendations are used. No budget allocations or purchasing actions were reported.
