Jefferson Township Zoning Commission is made up of five members appointed by the
Township Trustees. As required by Section §519 of the Ohio Revised Code, all members
must be residents of the unincorporated area of Jefferson Township. Appointments
are for five years, and the terms overlap.
The Zoning Commission review each application to rezone land or change the text
of the existing zoning regulations and make recommendations to the Township Trustees
on each application or text amendment. An application may be initiated by the property
owner, the Trustees or the Zoning Commission.
It can be seen, then, that the Zoning Commission’s deliberation and ultimate recommendation
are very important. As a result, the Zoning Commission often meet with an applicant
several times to ensure all issues are considered before sending a recommendation
forward for final action by the Trustees.
Only the Township Trustees have the authority to actually approve a zoning change
or text amendment. Although, the Trustees must receive the Zoning Commission’s recommendation
the Trustees can accept, modify, deny or override the recommendation from the Zoning
Commission by unanimous vote.
