Commission approves three zoning text amendments: ADUs, cleanup reference to comprehensive plan and conditional‑use revocation process

Jun 27, 2025

The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend/approve three zoning ordinance text amendments: allow accessory dwelling units by administrative permit, remove an outdated plan-year reference, and clarify that conditional‑use revocations are decided by the County Commission after a P&Z recommendation.

The full story

The Stark County Planning and Zoning Commission on June 26 approved three proposed amendments to the county zoning ordinance: (1) allow accessory dwelling units (ADUs) as a permitted, administratively reviewed use in specified residential districts; (2) replace a dated reference to the 2010 comprehensive plan with a generic reference to the "Stark County comprehensive plan"; and (3) clarify that revocation of conditional‑use permits is a County Commission decision following a public hearing and recommendation from planning and zoning.
