“Zoning
is the regulation of the use of land and buildings that permit
a community to control the development of its territory. It provides
for orderly growth by protecting homes and property from harmful
uses on neighboring properties. Any zoning restriction must have
a reasonable relationship to public health, safety, morals, or
general welfare. Ohio law provides for the submission of a zoning
plan to the electors of the township and also contains provisions
for the administration, enforcement, and amendment of the zoning
plan if it is adopted.” |
