PREFACE

This volume contains the Zoning Ordinance of the Township of Macomb and constitutes a professional codification and printing of the zoning regulations of the township.

Source materials used in the preparation of this volume were the original zoning ordinance, Ordinance No. 10, adopted November 10, 1973, and all amendments through March 20, 1999.

The zoning ordinance has been printed as submitted by the Township and the original numbering system has been retained. Obvious misspellings and punctuation errors have been corrected without notation. Words or phrases added by the editor for purposes of clarification are enclosed in brackets.

Page Numbering System

The page numbering system used in this publication is a prefix system. The letters to the left of the colon are an abbreviation which represents a certain portion of the volume. The number to the right of the colon represents the number of the page in that portion. In the case of an article of the Zoning Ordinance, the number to the left of the colon indicates the number of the article. The following are typical parts of publications, which may or may not appear in this Code at this time, and their corresponding prefixes:

Comparative Table

A feature of this publication that is particularly useful is the comparative table of amendments. Any amendatory ordinance will be listed by ordinance number in this table, and the individual sections or subsections that were amended will be indicated.

Index

The index has been prepared with the greatest of care. Each particular item has been placed under several headings, some of the headings being couched in lay phraseology, others in legal terminology, and still others in language generally used by municipal officials and employees. There are numerous cross references within the index itself which stand as guideposts to direct the user to the particular item in which he/she is interested.

Looseleaf Supplements

As future supplements to this volume are published, each supplement will contain an instruction sheet advising the user of the manner of inserting the new pages and removing the obsolete pages. The table of amendments, as well as the index, will also be updated with each supplement to reflect the new legislation.

Acknowledgments

The publication of this volume was under direct supervision of Tassy W. Spinks, Editor, of the Municipal Code Corporation, Tallahassee, Florida. Credit is gratefully given to the other members of the publisher's staff for their sincere interest and able assistance throughout the project.

The publisher wishes to thank the township, particularly Norman J. Snay, Township Clerk, for their assistance in the publication process. It is hoped that their efforts and those of the publisher have resulted in a publication which will make the zoning ordinance of the township readily accessible to all citizens and which will be a valuable tool in the day-to-day administration of the township's zoning regulations.
