The Planning Department oversees land use development within Texas Township and is responsible for administering the Zoning Ordinance and implementing the Township Master Land Use Plan. The Planning Department serves as staff to the Planning Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, Downtown Development Authority, and Township Board and manages the following:
- Demographic information
- Economic development
- Land divisions
- Master land use planning functions for the Township
- Review of all development proposals
- Rezoning requests
- Sign permits
- Zoning Ordinance provisions
The department also responds to requests for information from residents, developers, and others and works closely with the other departments, engineer consulting firms and other County and State agencies.
New Master Plan Adopted
On December 7, 2020, the Township Board adopted a new Master Plan. The new plan builds on the 2014 historical vision, while considering the changes which have occurred in the Township since that time.
