Special land uses in Shelby Township are decided by the Township Board, not the Planning Commission: the Planning Commission reviews the application and holds any required public hearing, then recommends; the Township Board approves or denies against the Section 6.5.B standards (harmony with the neighborhood, traffic safety, nuisance elimination, no substantial injury to nearby property values). Approval is valid for 2 years, and once granted, no Zoning Board of Appeals requests are permitted for that use; a denial blocks re-application for 1 year unless conditions change (Section 6.5.C).

Site plan review by the Planning Commission is required for essentially all development except one-family homes, a single two-family structure, and farm or accessory buildings; special land uses always need a site plan (Section 6.1.C.1). Site plan approval is also valid for 2 years, and minor amendments can be approved administratively by the planning director (Section 6.1.D).
