Sylvania City Zoning Code

ARTICLE 5

- DEVELOPMENTAL DISTRICTS D-1

Section 8-3005-1.- Purpose.

[The purpose of this article is] to establish a district on the fringe of urban growth where the predominant character of development has not yet been fully established, but where the current characteristics of use are primarily agricultural and residential. As urban growth continues, demand will grow for amendments to remove land from the development district and place it in more intensely developed zones. However, the intent of the development district is to reserve the bulk of the land for agricultural and low density residential uses.

Section 8-3005-2. - Permitted uses.

(a)

Agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry (excluding feed lots, hog operations, dairy farming and commercial chicken operations), forestry and similar agriculturally related uses.

(b)

Single-family dwellings.

(c)

Accessory buildings and uses of structures customarily incidental to any permitted use, including buildings used for agricultural purposes, provided that such structures shall not be less than five feet from any property line.

(d)

Customary home occupations.

(e)

Special exceptions, as prescribed in section 8-3013-1.
