Zoning is the regulation of the use of land, buildings, and structures by dividing a local government area into districts where different uses are permitted. Zoning regulations also provide other development standards such as required setbacks, maximum building heights, required parking, and other similar regulations. Townships have the authority to enact a zoning resolution, or zoning code, based on Chapter 519 of the Ohio Revised Code.
Jackie Ward, Zoning Inspector for Darby Township
Darby Township works with the Logan-Union-Champaign Regional Planning Commission (LUCRPC), whose mission is to “promote planned growth, encourage sustainable development, preserve our land resources, and to improve the quality of life in the region by providing guidance, support, information, planning and education services to the citizen’s and all government member agencies.”
To help keep residents informed, LUCRPC has provided two reports that offer valuable insight and guidance for our community. Click below to review the reports, and please feel free to contact your Township Trustee(s) or Zoning Board members with any questions or input.
