The Putnam Township Planning Commission is responsible for matters regarding land use. They handle review of site plans, amendments to the Zoning Ordinance (text and map), Planned Unit Developments (PUD), and special land uses. The Township’s Master Plan (link in green box), which contains the vision for land use in the Township, and our Zoning Ordinance, are used to assist the Planning Commission in making decisions regarding land management.
The Planning Commission at Putnam Township has seven members. Each member is recommended for the position by the Township Supervisor, then approved by a vote of the Township Board. Members serve three-year terms. If you wish to participate in your Township government by serving on the Planning Commission, email the Supervisor with a letter of interest in the posted position, along with your qualifications and/or resume to supervisor@putnamtwp.us. When we have an opening to fill, you will be contacted for more information and a possible interview by the Board of Trustees.
The Commission meets on the second Wednesday of the month, as needed, at the Township Hall at 7 p.m. All are welcome to join either in person or via Zoom at this link.
If you have any questions for the Planning Commission, contact our Zoning Administrator at zoningadmin@putnamtwp.us.
