The Hartland Township Services Department is in place to guide development through recommendation to the boards and to assist the township citizens with various processes. As planning officials, we function as staff advisors to the Planning Commission, Township Board and the Zoning Board of Appeals. As zoning officials we enforce all zoning ordinances and various other ordinances for the township. A typical township planning and zoning program involves the coordination and cooperation of the Township Board, Planning Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, engineer, planner, attorney, administrative staff and the public working together.

Zoning regulates the use of the land. It is a tool to implement the comprehensive plan and assure the land uses are compatible, protect natural resources and property values. Zoning involves adopting an ordinance that divides the community into various districts or zones. It then specifies the permitted land uses within each zone such as residential uses, commercial uses or industrial use. The zoning ordinance contains land development regulations and establishes land development districts. It has been adopted to protect the public health, safety and general welfare of the township. Many zoning ordinances, including the Hartland Township Zoning Ordinance, regulate the physical development through such elements as land use, building height, lot area, setbacks, parking, signs and density.

The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to enable the Township Planning Commission to establish a future direction for the physical growth of the Township. It is an extensive document that includes maps, plans, graphs and text that describe the current conditions in the Township, the implications of future growth and a planned approach to balance growth and quality of life issues. Further it includes goals, objectives and strategies on how to implement the goals and objectives. The Comprehensive Plan allows some flexibility but essentially it is a directional map to guide the future land use decisions.

Department Responsibilities

1. Reviewing new developments for compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. We process and review land use applications, rezoning requests, metes and bounds applications, subdivision plats, site plans and Planned Unit Development requests. We answer questions about how property can be used and developed.
   
   
2. Coordinating technical reviews regarding land use and proposed new developments' compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and engineering design standards. This information is used by the Planning Commission and/or the Board of Trustees to assist in making decisions.
   
   
3. Working with the Planning Commission to maintain an "up-to-date" Comprehensive Plan that establishes policies and objectives to guide the physical development and redevelopment of Hartland Township.
   
   
4. Coordinating the Public Hearing process and making information on proposals that are scheduled for a public hearing available for review by the public.
   
   
5. Conduct the Township's code enforcement functions. This includes making sure that the Township ordinances are observed by all property owners in the Township.
   
   
6. Answering a myriad of questions ranging from "What are the future plans for the Township?" to "Can my property be split?" and "Can I build a deck?" Residents, real estate agents, developers, marketers, researchers, property buyers and sellers contact us for information on the planning process, zoning, land use, Planning Commission applications and for information on the Township in general.
