Violet Township, Ohio

Zoning

The purpose of zoning in any community is protection of the public health, safety, comfort and general welfare of citizens and preserves the character of the area by allowing certain types of development in specific areas. Violet Township Zoning Resolution was enacted in accordance with a comprehensive plan as permitted by the provisions of Section 519.02 et.seq. of the Revised Code of the State of Ohio.

Generally, there are five types of zoning districts. Commercial zones allow office buildings as well as many types of retail stores. Manufacturing, assembly, large factories and warehouses are found in industrial districts. Several residential classifications allow for single family houses, duplexes and condominiums and/or apartment complexes. A Planned Unit Development allows, after approval of the Township Trustees, a combination of residential and other uses that blend into a complementary balance.

Through height, setback, and buffering, zoning will ensure that controls and conditions are in place to assure harmony in all districts.
