Holland Township weighs farm stand zoning changes amid Visser Farms case
The Holland Township planning commission debated expanding GAAMP rules to commercial districts to allow farm stands on more land. After lengthy meetings and staff concerns, the panel voted 4-2 to recommend the amendment, which would require annual special-use permits and could let Visser Farms reopen pending board action. The proposal hinges on county land use maps and potential precedents, with the board awaiting final decision.
