Special conditions, exceptions, uses, and other variations to adopted requirements are also established in the zoning code. Guidelines were also established to define the type and scale of uses to be permitted in each district. Townships are authorized to enact zoning in accordance with Section 519 of the Ohio Revised Code. Generally, zoning regulations are created in order to maintain certain minimum standards for the community, thereby preserving and enhancing property values. The Township is 29 square miles offering a variety of uses to meet the population's needs. Through the years, zone changes were implemented to accommodate the once-rural population into the eastern gateway it is known to be today.
