Zoning Commission
The Zoning Commission is responsible for the contents of the zoning resolution. Their job is to keep the zoning resolution up to date for the protection of the township as a whole. For these purposes the zoning resolution not only includes the text, but the zoning map as well. The Zoning Commission proposes to the Township Trustees any changes to the text or the map as they determine to be in the best interests of the township. The Trustees then, after public hearings, must act on those proposals. It takes a unanimous vote of the Trustees to reject a proposal of the Commission, but only two votes to accept a proposal. After a Trustee acceptance of a proposal, the public by petition in accordance with State of Ohio law may request a referendum vote on that proposal. If no referendum is requested the proposal goes into effect, and must be enforced by the Zoning Inspector and the Trustees.
The Commission is comprised of five [5] members appointed by the Board of Township Trustees. Each Member is appointed for a five [5] year term. Each term is staggered to have one [1] term ending each calendar year. Members may be reappointed by the Board of Township Trustees. The Board of Township trustees may also appoint two [2] alternate members for terms determined by the Board of Township trustees.
The Commission is supported by Zoning Department staff that receives and reviews applications. The staff is also responsible for sending out notification of pending appeals to interested parties.
Before you can apply for a Zoning Change hearing, you must meet with Zoning Director (4711 Central Ave SE (330) 484-2501). Office hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Mon. - Fri
