Many communities in Ohio operate under zoning codes that are outdated, and reforming code can help to reduce labor, paperwork, and time in building housing that addresses community needs.

The new Neighborhood Development Code (NDC) replaces the city’s 2006 Zoning Ordinance, a traditional one-size-fits-all set of rules and regulations that separated city parcels into single allowed uses.
