Findlay City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 1147

P-O Park and Open Space District

1147.01 INTENT.

   The P-O Park and Open Space District is a Special Purpose Zoning District intended to preserve and enhance major open space and recreational areas by protecting the natural amenities they possess and by accommodating development that is compatible with those natural amenities. The P-O District may also be applied to privately-owned open space areas within residential developments. Such a designation is an appropriate zoning classification for open space (non-development) parcels within subdivisions.
