Summary

The St. James Planning Commission’s 2023 annual report states that it developed and approved the Beaver Island Master Plan jointly with the Peaine Township Planning Commission on November 17, 2023.

Evidence and limits

The annual report also records a Joint Commission Zoning Ordinance Committee and an amendment resolution in 2023. It does not provide the amendment text, effective date, current consolidated ordinance, township-board adoption instrument, or proof of implementation of individual Master Plan actions.
