Before a 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 Ohio Department of Transportation, or any land within a radius of 500 feet from the point of intersection of such centerline with a public road or highway, the Zoning Inspector shall give notice, by registered or certified mail, to the Director. The Inspector shall not issue a zoning permit for 120 days from the date the notice is received by the Director. If the Director notifies the Inspector that he or she intends to proceed to acquire the land, then the Inspector shall refuse to issue the zoning permit. If the Director notifies the Zoning Inspector that acquisition at the time is not in the public interest, or upon the expiration of the 120-day period or any extension thereof agreed upon by the Director and the property owner, the Inspector shall, if the application is in conformity with all provisions of this Zoning Code, issue the zoning permit.
