CHAPTER 1110
Title, Purpose, and Application
1110.01 TITLE.
Part Eleven of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Alliance, Ohio, comprising all of these requirements, regulations, procedures, and map, shall be known, cited, and referred to as the City Planning and Zoning Code, which shall be abbreviated herein as “this Ordinance.” This Ordinance shall replace, in its entirety, Ordinance No. 13-67, As Amended (Zoning Ordinance), as well as Ordinance No. 68-70, As Amended (Subdivision Regulations).
1110.02 PURPOSE.
The City of Alliance is a diverse community with a mix of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional uses. It is essential that all use areas be given adequate protection, that residential areas may develop in an orderly manner, and that industrial properties may expand with new developments and compete with other similar industries in the region. It is essential that commercial uses have an equal degree of protection to promote and preserve the retail shopping developments and provide adequate off-street parking facilities which will tend to keep customers coming to said shopping areas. It is also recognized that the purpose of industry and commerce is to provide the means for a decent and respectable life for the citizens of a community. With regard to the interests of public health, safety, convenience, prosperity, and general welfare, it is essential that residential areas be suitably located in relationship to industry and commerce, and that they be protected against the intrusions which will interfere with decent living conditions. It is essential that all of the uses of land and buildings within the City be so related as to provide for economy in government in such a manner that they may mutually support each other and each derive the greatest benefit from industry, commercial, and residential areas.
1110.03 APPLICATION.
The provisions of this Ordinance shall be considered as the minimum requirements necessary for the public health, safety, convenience, comfort, prosperity, and general welfare, and they shall apply uniformly to each kind or class of building, structure or land located within the City. Whenever the requirements of this Ordinance are at variance with a statute or lawfully adopted rules, regulations, ordinances, deed restrictions or covenants, the more restrictive requirement shall govern.
