May 10, 2021 By Jessica Mathews / news@whmi.com Ordinance amendments to address home occupations for medical marijuana and recreational use are moving forward in Green Oak Township. At a virtual meeting held Thursday night, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on text amendments to the home occupation section in the code of ordinances, which adds new provisions for medical marijuana home occupations and recreational use. They were described as general clarifications. The ordinance lays out different regulations and requirements designed to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the township. It also aims to curtail problems that can be associated with insufficient or improper electrical supplies, problems with ventilation leading to mold, offensive odors, and other health hazards or general hazards related to the cultivation of marijuana in structure, specifically in residential settings.
