The Zoning Board of Appeals is appointed by the Township Board.  The Michigan Zoning Enabling Act (MZEA), specifically Act 110 of 2006, primarily governs zoning boards of appeals for townships in Michigan. The ZBA has three primary functions:

  1. Interpreting the zoning ordinance (text and map)

  2. Deciding appeals from administrative decisions

  3. Granting variances (use and non-use)
