A zoning permit is required for any of the following:
(a) Occupancy and/or use of vacant land.
(b) Construction or structural alteration of any building, including accessory buildings.
(c) Change in use of an existing building or accessory building to a use not listed as a permitted use in the zoning district where the building is located.
Applications for a zoning permit may be obtained from the Zoning Inspector, or from the Village Fiscal Officer. At a minimum, the application shall contain the information as specified in Appendix A, which is hereby made a part of this Ordinance. Three (3) copies of an application for a zoning permit shall be signed by the owner or applicant attesting to the truth and exactness of all information supplied on the application. Each application shall clearly state that the permit shall expire and shall be revoked if work has not begun within one (1) year, and substantially completed within two (2) years.
Where complete and accurate information is not readily available from existing records, the Zoning Inspector may require the applicant to furnish a survey of the lot by a registered surveyor. In particular cases, the Zoning Inspector may reduce the submittal requirements for applications, when the scope of the proposed action warrants.
Within 30 days after the receipt, the application shall be either approved or disproved by the Zoning Inspector, unless the provisions of Section 1111.05, or other specific sections of this Ordinance apply. In taking action on a zoning permit application, the Zoning Inspector may bring the specific case to the Planning and Zoning Board for input. All zoning permits shall be conditional upon the commencement of work within one (1) year. One (1) copy of the application shall be returned to the applicant by the Zoning Inspector, after such copy is marked as either approved or disapproved and attested to same by the signature of the Zoning Inspector, or his/her designated agent, on such copy. In the case of disapproval, the Zoning Inspector shall state on the returned plans the specific reasons for disapproval. Two (2) copies of plans, similarly marked, shall be retained by the Zoning Inspector. One (1) copy retained by the Zoning Inspector shall be forwarded to the County Auditor upon issuance of a Certificate of Zoning Compliance along with one (1) copy of the application. The Zoning Inspector shall issue a placard, to be posted in a conspicuous place on the property in question, attesting to the fact that the use or alternation is in conformance with the provisions of this Ordinance.
Before any zoning permit is issued affecting any land within 300 feet of the centerline of a proposed new highway or a highway for which changes are proposed as described in the certification to local officials by the Director of the Department of Transportation, or any land within a radius of 500 feet from the point of intersection of said centerline with any public road or highway, the Zoning Inspector shall give notice, by registered or certified mail to the Director of the Department of Transportation. The Zoning Inspector shall not issue a zoning permit for 120 days from the date the notice is received by the Director of the Department of Transportation. If the Director of the Department of Transportation notifies the Zoning Inspector that he shall proceed to acquire the land needed, then the Zoning Inspector shall refuse to issue the zoning permit. If the Director of the Department of Transportation notifies the Zoning Inspector that acquisition at this time is not in the public interest thereof agreed upon by the Director of the Department of Transportation and the property owner, the Zoning Inspector shall, if the application is in conformance with all provision of this Ordinance, issue the zoning permit in conformance with the provisions of Section 1111.06 of this Ordinance.
If the work described in any zoning permit has not begun within one (1) year from the date of issuance thereof, or has not been completed within two (2) years from the date of issuance thereof, said permit shall expire; it shall be revoked by the Zoning Inspector. Written notice thereof shall be given to the persons affected, together with notice that further work as described in the expired permit shall not proceed unless and until a new zoning permit has been obtained or an extension has been granted by the Planning and Zoning Board.
(a) Certificate of Zoning Compliance Required. It shall be unlawful to use or occupy or permit the use or occupancy of any building or premises, or both, or part thereof hereafter created, erected, changed, converted, or wholly or partly altered or enlarged in its use or structure until a Certificate of Zoning Compliance shall have been issued therefore by the Zoning Inspector stating that the proposed use of the building or land conforms to the requirements of this Ordinance.
(b) Application for Certificate of Zoning Compliance. Certificates of Zoning Compliance shall be applied for by the applicant giving written notice to the Zoning Inspector that the exterior erection or structural alteration of such building shall have been completed in conformance with the provisions of this Ordinance.
(c) Approval of Health Department Required. If the property in question is not served by public water and sewer and the proposed project requires water and/or sewage disposal, a Certificate of Zoning Compliance shall not be issued by the Zoning Inspector until approval of the water and sewage disposal systems have been given by the Pickaway County Health Department, or Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
(d) Record of Certificate of Zoning Compliance. The Zoning Inspector shall maintain a record of all Certificates of Zoning Compliance and a copy of any individual certificate shall be furnished upon request to occupant or his legally authorized representative.
