Brimfield trustees amend township zoning to bar adult‑use cannabis operators
Summary
At the May 28 meeting the Brimfield Township Board of Trustees unanimously approved an amendment to Resolution Section 505.00 D(8) to prohibit adult‑use cannabis operators, citing Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3780 while noting the amendment does not restrict activity protected by ORC 3780.25(G).
The Brimfield Township Board of Trustees unanimously approved an amendment to the township zoning resolution that prohibits adult‑use cannabis operators in the township.
Trustee Mike Kostensky moved the change to Resolution Section 505.00 D(8) on May 28, 2025; Trustee Nicholas Coia seconded. The motion passed on a unanimous roll call vote.
Kostensky presented the text under the proposed amendment, saying: "8. Adult‑use cannabis operators as defined by Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3780 and related State regulations. This section is not intended to restrict the activity currently protected by Ohio Revised Code 3780.25(G)." The language names Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3780 as the definitional source and explicitly references ORC 3780.25(G) as an exception the board did not intend to limit.
The amendment amends local Resolution Section 505.00 D(8). The minutes record the motion and the new text but do not specify an effective date or implementation steps beyond adoption in the meeting minutes.
The minutes do not record public testimony for or against the change during the meeting's zoning item. No related ordinance number beyond the township resolution section is listed in the minutes, and no departmental implementation plan or enforcement timeline appears in the public record of this session.
The board's action reflects a local exercise of zoning authority within the constraints the trustees cited from the Ohio Revised Code; the minutes show the trustees agreed by voice on the motion as recorded in the roll call.
