WALKER TOWNSHIP APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE I T.P. 4004,001,000-OHA M. On January 4, 2024, our office received a copy of the Walker Township Conditional Use Application executed by John M. Glick for property at 126 Hoy Road. Consequently, our office performed a prior Zoning Map Amendment review on September 19, 2023, where Mr. Glick requested a zoning change of the 2.0 ac. parcel designation from Agricultural (A) to General Commercial (C). As a result, we received adopted Walker Township Ordinance #220, dated December 11, 2023, that includes "Contractor's Shop and Yard" as a Conditional Use in the Agricultural (A) District, as opposed the original zoning district map amendment. The tax parcel contains an existing +9,000 ft.2 metal building that originally housed agricultural produce processing, and now, the owners have modified the use to operate a roofing business that is not permitted under the current ordinance and zoning district. Staff provided input to "Criteria for Conditional Uses", whether the proposed use will adversely affect the neighborhood or create an undue hazard or nuisance to adjoining properties, in addition to parking, loading, circulation, pedestrian: safety ands screening and buffering. 2.
