2246 Seminary Rd, Milan, OH 44846

Single Family District

The following reasons are given in evidence to support the purposes for which this zoning district is intended to accomplish: To permit a degree of urbanization of lands which are not expected to have public utilities available to them for many years.; Because of the above consideration, and because there is a demand for non-farm residences within a rural environment, the R-1-A District provides an opportunity to satisfy one's housing preference without unduly contributing to uneconomical urban sprawl conditions.; The R-1-A District will lessen urbanizing forces on the good agricultural land and reduce the possible mixture of farm and non-farm dwellings which have several undesirable effects, including assessment practices and weed problems related to uncultivated land.; Acreage zoning is necessary to prohibit erosion and sedimentation in certain areas of the Township where topographical conditions are such that the removal of vegetative cover would constitute a pollution problem.; Any use not specifically permitted under Article 12.1 Principally Permitted Uses or Article 12.2 Conditionally Permitted Uses is expressly prohibited.
