MSU: Delhi Charter Township Sign Bylaw Revision

Student-Led, Faculty-Guided Project - 2025

Authors:

Summary

The Township’s zoning ordinance (ZO) sign section needs to be updated to comply with Supreme Court decisions regarding the regulation of signs based on content. This requires researching court findings, evaluating the current ZO sign regulations, and making recommendations for changes to ensure compliance. These recommendations must be presented to the Planning Commission (PC) for review and agreement, followed by a public hearing prior to any changes being finalized. This project could be completed by students as part of a practicum within a semester.
