The Sharon Township Zoning Commission 2009 Survey
Many residents have expressed concern about the future of Sharon Township. The concerns appeared to focus on the fear that residential development threatens to modify the rural character of the township as to potentially destroy the very feature which makes Sharon Township so appealing. Your Township Zoning Commission has gathered information about your views on zoning issues in our community. Zoning, according to the Ohio Revised Code, regulates for the health, safety and welfare of the community. While zoning is not a comprehensive solution to land use issues, it can be influential.
The Sharon Township’s Zoning Code is 50 years old. As the township has grown, many changes have been made to the regulations. It was time to review the code to determine if major changes are needed to preserve our township for the future. Your Zoning Commission has studied ways other townships have handled growth, met with zoning experts, and reviewed our comprehensive plan. Before considering substantially changing the zoning code, the following survey was mailed to all registered voters in the township.
