Danbury Township to have
first clearzoning resolution in Ohio
March 4, 2009 - Danbury
Township is set to become first community in the State of Ohio to implement clearzoning, an innovative zoning resolution format. Township
trustees took action February 11th to begin the process of
converting the existing zoning resolution to the new pdf format.
Earlier
this month the trustees and zoning inspector viewed a clearzoning
demonstration at the Ohio Township Association winter conference in
Columbus.
While
the board has worked to make the resolution more user friendly, it
remains complicated and cumbersome. Zoning Inspector Rhonda Botti
Sowers said, "I'm sure architects, contractors,
developers, realtors and appraisers who refer to our zoning regularly
will really like the new format, but what impressed me most is how
easy it will be for those not familiar with zoning codes to find
needed information."
The
new format will be color-coded and hyperlinked. Colors correspond to
the various zoning districts and the zoning map will be incorporated
into the resolution. Links will connect text to the zoning map and
related sections. Graphics will be added to clarify regulations.
Once
adopted, the reformatted resolution will be accessible on the
Township's website at www.danburytownship.com.
A print version will be available for those who do not utilize a
computer.
This is the first
major investment the township has made in zoning since its adoption
34 years ago. "It's long overdue," said Board
President Dianne Rozak. "We're excited to be first in
Ohio to take advantage of this state of the art technology."
