“As a general rule in Ohio, a separate document known as a ‘comprehensive plan’ is not required to be adopted by local governments in order to promulgate and enforce planning and zoning regulations. However, certain charters and ordinances of municipal corporations (cities and villages) in Ohio may require a comprehensive plan to be adopted and periodically updated to serve as a basis for local planning and zoning regulations.”
Download this white paper to continue reading about the comprehensive plan requirement in Ohio, including city vs. county vs. township. Our author, CharlesT. Riehl, reviews the basis for land use control, “ … it is apparent that the law of Ohio generally considers a comprehensive plan as a policy guide for the promulgation of a local government’s planning, zoning, and other land use regulations.” He also covers the relevant real estate market and your responsibility, and states … “A local government’s comprehensive plan should be updated periodically to comport with actual land use trends and land use needs of the local community. Many municipal charters require annual or other periodic updates of the comprehensive plan. A necessary corollary to the update of comprehensive plans should be amendments to the zoning regulations and zoning map to further the policies set forth in the updated comprehensive plan. Not only should it be the responsibility of the local government officials to reconsider and update comprehensive plans, but it should also be the responsibility of land owners and developers to inform local government officials of needed land use policy changes on a periodic basis.”
