Canaan Township, Wayne County

Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Regulations

The Canaan Township Comprehensive Plan - 2002 was prepared by the Canaan Township Planning Commission with the support of the Canaan Township Board of Supervisors.  Shepstone Management Company and the Wayne County Planning Department assisted on a professional level.  Particularly helpful were the many individuals who took the time to attend meetings and offer comments.

This Comprehensive Plan offers a concise description of Canaan Township and its needs as of 2002. It is designed to provide a policy framework for the Township as it looks forward over the next decade. The Township is a relatively small but is also the site of several facilities with major impacts on the County and the region. Among the purposes of this Plan is taking a long range view of this activity as it affects Canaan Township and the surrounding region.

The Comprehensive Plan is also accompanied by a draft Zoning Ordinance, a new Junkyard Ordinance (also adopted on October 2, 2002) and already adopted Subdivision and Land Development and Dog Ordinances.
