An Ordinance Repealing Old Sections Of Nonconforming Lots Of Record And Enacting A New Section
Ordinance No. 2015-28, Village Of Yellow Springs, Ohio

Interested persons will take note that the Village Council of Yellow Springs on
Monday, Nov. 2, 2015, gave first reading to an ordinance, text to follow.
Council will consider said ordinance for a second reading and a public hearing
to begin at 6:30 p.m., Monday, Nov. 16, 2015, in the Br yan Community Center,
100 Dayton St.
Whereas, Village staff has recommended a change to the Zoning Code to
allow for interior, adjoining, nonconforming lots under common ownership to be
treated as one lot to allow for more flexibility to property owners without requir-
ing a re-plat; and
Whereas, Planning Commission held a public hearing on October 12, 2015
and following the public hearing recommended approval of this code revision in
accordance with Section 1280.03 of the Yellow Springs Codified Ordinances; and
Whereas, it is Village Council’s intent to amend Section 1282.05 of the Codified
Ordinances to more accurately reflect how property owners desire to make use of
their interior adjoining nonconforming lots.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF YELLOW
SPRINGS, OHIO HEREBY ORDAINS THAT:

1282 Nonconforming Uses, Buildings and Lots of Title Four Zoning of Part Twelve

Ohio be repealed.
Section 2. That a new Section 1282.05 Nonconforming Lots of Record of Chapter

conforming lots that are owned by the same property owner of record shall
