THE
TOWNSHIP ZONING COMMISSION
The
Township Zoning Commission has the following duties:
-
Initiate
proposed amendments to the Township Zoning Resolution.
-
Consider
and review all proposed amendments to the Township
Zoning Resolution and make recommendations to the
Board of Township Trustees.
-
Review
all Planned Unit Developments and make recommendations
to the Board of Township Trustees.
The
Township Zoning Commission meets on an ad hoc basis, the
time and place of which are published in either the
Granville Sentinel or the Newark Advocate.
THE
BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
The
powers of the Board of Zoning Appeals are very similar to
those of the courts. Under the Ohio Revised Code, the
Board of Zoning Appeals is given three basic powers:
-
To
hear and decide appeals
-
To
grant variances.
-
To
grant conditional use permits.
Appeals
and variances go to the Board of Zoning Appeals only after
an applicant is refused a zoning permit by the zoning
inspector or deputy zoning inspector. The Board of Zoning
Appeals receives applications for conditional use permits
for its consideration.
The
only recourse to a decision by the Board of Zoning Appeals
is to the courts and not the legislative authority [the
Township Trustees] as set forth in the Ohio Revised Code.
The
Board of Zoning Appeals meets on an ad hoc basis, the time
and place of which are published in either the Granville
Sentinel or the Newark Advocate.
