RPC/RZC ACCOMPLISHMENTS INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT On Tuesday, October 5, 1999 the Planning and Zoning department staff hosted 22 visitors from China—residents of Guang Zhou (“Gwong Zho”), formerly named Canton, and Gui Zhou (“Gway Zho”) - both are very dense cities of about 5 million people. Our guests were experts in land management and development. They were interested in learning about US land planning and the role of local government in land management, enforcement and implementation of plans. Our interpreter was from Proctor & Gamble who has a headquarters in Guang Zhou. As a token of their appreciation they presented us with a Chinese scroll—a work of art—that was presented to the Board of County Commissioners at their meeting on Wednesday, October 13, 1999. RIVERFRONT ANALYSIS In November of 1999, the Regional Planning Commission was asked to give input to the Riverfront Advisors regarding their plan for the Cincinnati Riverfront. LEADERSHIP Executive Director, Ron Miller, provided leadership and external support services as Chairman of the Cincinnati Area Geographic Information System Policy Board, President of the County Planning Directors Association of Ohio and as a member of Cincinnatus and a 1999 graduate of Leadership Cincinnati TRAINING Two staff members of The Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission were commended for their participation as instructors for the Training and Development Division of the County. Together, Tim Horsley and Caroline Andrews instructed 10 FrontLine Leadership sessions, reaching over 75 County employees from many organizations. Their work will have an impact on each of those training participants and , in turn, on their organizations. By making time to instruct, Tim and Caroline are helping our County’s employees become more highly-skilled and professional. Page 22
RPC/RZC ACCOMPLISHMENTS ZONING COMPLIANCE REVIEW In 1999, the Zoning Compliance Section issued one thousand and five (1,005) zoning certificates for the five (5) townships under the Board of County Commissioner’s zoning jurisdiction. The zoning plans examiners, zoning specialists and support staff review and issue zoning certificates for Delhi, Sycamore and Symmes Townships, under a separate contract, due to local zoning authority. The zoning certificates issued for these jurisdictions numbered seven hundred and eighty (780) in 1999. Other accomplishments of the Zoning Compliance Section in 1999 include: issuance of 82 zoning refusal letters, the implementation of all reports, including financial reports into the automated tracking system, and obtaining one of the highest ratings of all departments in the county for providing information and assistance to citizens needing zoning. ZONING ENFORCEMENT Enforcement of the zoning resolution is a key element in obtaining land use control within the county. Hamilton County has employed three Zoning Field Inspectors to enforce the zoning regulation, not only within the five (5) townships under the Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners, but also five (5) townships that have their own zoning and nuisance authority. In 1999, the Enforcement Section issued over two thousand three hundred and fifty (2,350) letters of notification to property owners having zoning violations. This number does not take into account the zoning violation that were abated without the issuance of a zoning violation notification letter. Hamilton County is the only county in the state that issues zoning citations in the form of a “Ticket”. After proper notification, a citation is issued if the zoning violation is not abated. In 1999, the Enforcement Section issued one hundred and eighty five (185) tickets. The most common zoning violations include: the storage of inoperable vehicles, parking boats and campers in the front and side yards, installation of illegal signage and the construction of decks, pools, fences and sheds without proper certification. The Enforcement Section prides itself in having a 98% abatement rate for all zoning violations that have been received by complaint or observed by the field inspector. Page 23
