2 CANTON TOWNSHIP ZONING AMENDMENT April 3, 2018 CA #2, 2018 LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION: Part of one tract, approximately 8.2 acres, located on the east side of Trump Avenue, north of Orchard View Drive in the NE & SE ¼ Section 13, Canton Township. (legal description on file with the township) EXISTING ZONING: R-R Rural Residential Uses Permitted: Single-family dwelling; family home; public buildings; churches; farm market; off-street parking; livestock or poultry raising or breeding for commercial purposes; schools; accessory buildings incidental to the principal use PROPOSED ZONING: I-1 Industrial Uses Permitted: All permitted uses in the B-1, B-2, and B-3 Districts, except residential uses and schools; administrative and executive offices; experimental testing and research facilities; motor freight garage, truck, or transfer terminal; distributors warehouse; manufacturing and processing facilities; printing and publishing PRESENT USE: Business PROPOSED USE: Industrial APPLICANT/OWNERS: Benjamin & Larry Rosenberger/Benjamin Rosenberger ADJACENT LAND USE ADJACENT ZONING North: Public Service/Single-family Agricultural R-R Rural Residential South: Single-family Residential/Agricultural R-R Rural Residential East: Single-family Residential/Agricultural R-R Rural Residential West: Single-family Residential/Vacant Land R-R Rural Residential FACTS TO BE CONSIDERED: 1. The area proposed for rezoning is an approximately 8.2 acre area of a acre tract. The zone change application proposes to create a split zoned parcel by changing the western 8.2 acres of the tract (extending 500 east from the right-of-way of Trump Avenue) from R-R Rural Residential to I-1 Industrial. The remaining approximately 21.2 acres would remain Rural Residential. 2. The area surrounding the tract proposed for rezoning consists of single-family agriculture to the north, south and east, and single family residential to the west. The public service tracts to the north of the subject parcel encompass US 30 and are owned by ODOT. 3. Surrounding zoning in this area is R-R Rural Residential to the north, south, east and west. There are some Industrial zoned areas within the township to the west. Further north is the corporation line of Canton and US 30, which is zoned Industrial. 4. The portion of the tract proposed for rezoning appears to be used primarily for commercial purposes, and has several buildings on the property, including a single family home. The eastern portion of the tract (not included in the amendment) appears to be used for farming. According to the application, the applicant is requesting the zone change to allow truck parking on the property. 5. The site appears to have been zoned residential since the 1960s and RPC has not reviewed any zone change requests for the parcel.

3 CA #2, 2018 Page 2 6. When considering a zone change, the most intensive uses permitted in that district must be considered. The permitted uses allowed in the I-1 district, which include uses such as experimental testing and research facilities, manufacturing and processing facilities, and distribution warehousing, could have a detrimental effect on the adjacent rural residential uses. 7. The B-3 Commercial Business District permits truck storage as a conditionally permitted use, which would allow the applicant to operate their business as proposed. Additionally, singlefamily homes are permitted in the B-3 district; the I-1 district does not allow residential uses. If rezoned to I-1, the existing home would become non-conforming. 8. Staff recognizes that the subject tract is located approximately 1,100 feet south of US 30, where there are industrial zoned areas. If the township intends to extend businesses into this area, staff recommends that the township consider establishing a revised zoning scheme for this area to create a delineated business corridor along Trump. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: After considering the above facts, staff recommends denial of the proposed rezoning to the I-1 Industrial District.

4 OSNABURG TOWNSHIP ZONING AMENDMENT April 3, 2018 OS #1, 2018 SUMMARY OF PROPOSED TEXT CHANGES: An amendment is proposed to the Osnaburg Township Zoning Resolution which would: Amend the review of conditional use permits Amend regulations for accessory buildings, structures and uses APPLICANT: Osnaburg Township Zoning Commission FACTS TO BE CONSIDERED: 1. The amendment is proposing to replace the requirements for the annual review and recertification for conditional uses under Section Staff recommends moving the amendment to Section , as this discusses the procedure for all conditional uses, and would be a more fitting location for the review and recertification process explanation. Adjustments to section lettering and/or numbering will then be needed throughout the Resolution for consistency. 2. The proposed amendment removes the maximum lot coverage requirement for accessory structures in all districts. Staff recommends retaining a maximum lot coverage requirement to avoid allowing excessively large accessory buildings, structures or uses, which could potentially result in accessory structures that are larger than the principal use. If lot coverage requirements are removed, the title for Table 602.4A should be renamed accordingly. 3. Height limitations for accessory structures in residential districts are also proposed for modification. The Zoning Resolution currently regulates height limitations based on lot size. The proposed modification appears to remove the height limit for accessory structures on lots greater than 5 acres. Staff recommends retaining a height limitation for these parcels. STAFF REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above facts, staff recommends approval of a modification of the proposed text amendment.

5 PERRY TOWNSHIP ZONING AMENDMENT April 3, 2018 PE #1, 2018 LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION: An approximately 0.13 acre tract, located at the northeast corner of Zern Avenue and 12 th Street SW in the SE ¼ Section 11, Perry Township (legal description on file with Township) EXISTING ZONING: R-3 Single Family, Duplex, and Four-Family Residential District Uses Permitted: Any uses permitted in the R-1 and R-2 Districts; detached dwellings for no more than four families; places of worship PROPOSED ZONING: B-2 Commercial District Uses Permitted: Any uses permitted in the B-1 District; retail stores; vehicle repair garage; indoor and outdoor recreational facilities; warehouse; farm market; cold storage plant; printing shop; retail greenhouse; off-street parking lot; assembly hall; animal clinic; hotel; transportation agency and terminal; skilled games site PRESENT USE: Vacant Single-Family Residential PROPOSED USE: Commercial Parking Lot APPLICANT/OWNERS: Waikem Properties LLC ADJACENT LAND USE ADJACENT ZONING North: Business B-2 Commercial South: Single-family Residential R-3 Single Family, Duplex, and Four-Family Residential East: Business B-2 Commercial West: Single-family Residential R-3 Single Family, Duplex, and Four-Family Residential FACTS TO BE CONSIDERED: 1. The general area consists of a mixture of offices and businesses along Lincoln Way, with residential uses extending beyond that. The zoning reflects the land use, as the B-2 Commercial District exists along Lincoln Way, with the R-3 Single Family, Duplex and Four-Family Residential District extending further north and south of the commercial corridor. The subject tract has been zoned in an R-3 related manner since 1958, when zoning was established in Perry Township. 2. According to the application, the applicant has purchased the subject tract, is in the process of demolishing the existing single-family residence, and intends to expand their off-street parking lot into the area. 3. The Stark County 2040 Comprehensive Plan indicates this area will progress as commercial land use along the Lincoln Way corridor, with developed urban area extending to the south. 4. RPC has not reviewed any zone change amendments for this property, but did review amendments for the two adjacent tracts to the north in 2014, as well as the single tract to the north of that in All three tracts that were previously reviewed were zoned R-3 Single- Family, Duplex & Four-Family Residential, proposing to change to the B-2 Commercial District for the expansion of the Waikem Subaru dealership.

6 PE #1, 2018 Page 2 5. When RPC reviewed the zone change applications in 2010 and 2014 for the adjacent properties, staff recommended approval of a modification to the R-4 Multi-Family Residential & Office District. These recommendations considered that off-street parking lots are permitted uses in the R-4 District, but would also provide a buffer for the adjacent singlefamily homes. Perry Township approved both zone change requests, and the three adjacent tracts were rezoned to the B-2 District. 6. Since 2014, the applicant has purchased the subject tract, which was the only remaining R-3 tract on this block of Zern Avenue, as 12 th Street SW provides a built barrier to the singlefamily homes to the south. The B-2 District and the applicant s business now surround the subject tract to the north and east. Given the surrounding zone changes, staff does not find that rezoning the single remaining tract to B-2 will cause further detriment to the residences to the west and south. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: After considering the above facts, staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning to B-2 Commercial District.
