Planning

RESIDENTS OF PENINSULA TOWNSHIP: The township has taken steps to make its website interactive and ADA compliant. In the process, documents such as minutes, agendas, board packets, forms, ordinances, and the like were eliminated due to the extraordinary cost of converting the information to ADA standards. At the request of residents, these non-compliant ADA documents may now be accessed on this page. Residents who need extra assistance acquiring copies of these documents may contact the Director of Planning & Zoning's office at 231.223.7314 or [email protected].

Land Division (LDA), Land Use Permit (LUP), Variance/Appeal, and Special Use Permits (SUP) submissions require an appointment.

15 to 30-minute appointments available. Please contact the appropriate person to schedule an appointment. Drop-ins may be scheduled same-day, in the next available time slot.
