ACCOMPLISHMENTS<br />
ZONING REVISION<br />
The RPC’s Zoning Revision Team processed ninety-one (91) cases in 1999. Each case<br />
required review, research, a field visit and thorough analysis for Zoning Code compliance.<br />
Of these 91 cases, twenty-six (26) were zone amendments in Townships that have local<br />
zoning control where the RPC is required by state law to make a recommendation.<br />
The majority of the remaining sixty-five (65) cases were located in <strong>Hamilton</strong> <strong>County</strong> RZC<br />
jurisdiction and include zone amendments, PUD’s, and other projects requiring some type of<br />
review by the Rural Zoning Commission.<br />
The break down of cases is as follows:<br />
· 34 Zone amendments<br />
· 13 Planned Unit Developments<br />
· 12 Zoning Compliance Plans (Final Development Plan)<br />
· 11 Major Adjustments or Modifications<br />
· 22 Board of Zoning Appeals reports<br />
In addition to the above work, extensive time was spent on the fourth set of amendments to<br />
the Zoning Resolution for <strong>Hamilton</strong> <strong>County</strong>. The Zoning Resolution, completely revised in<br />
1996, continues to be improved and modified to better serve the customers of <strong>Hamilton</strong><br />
<strong>County</strong>.<br />
SUBDIVISIONS<br />
The RPC approved 18 new major subdivisions in 1999. A major subdivision is one that<br />
involves six or more lots. These subdivisions provided no clue to future trends toward<br />
western migration as 50% of the development sites were located outside of the Western<br />
Collaborative Plan.<br />
Some statistical minutia regarding these subdivisions:<br />
• Two of the developments were commercial subdivisions<br />
• Six of the subdivisions were planned unit developments (PUD)<br />
• Three had more than 130 lots. The average number for 1999 was 27 lots<br />
The staff of the Subdivision Department, which includes addressing specialists, worked<br />
closely with CAGIS and the City of Cincinnati to formulate a practical guideline for<br />
addressing and street naming to be used for computerization of subdivision and building<br />
activities.<br />
We have also completed training and have initiated subdivision scanning and GIS<br />
registration. This is an important step toward providing a total computerized plan review<br />
and record tracking for the entire county and city.<br />
