- 1262.08 (e) (7) B. – Planning Commission wanted clear guidelines regarding the location of TGL’s in neighborhoods. The Planning Commission recommends the following language to Council:
– In no case, can a transient guest lodging be located closer than 500 feet from another transient guest lodging, as measured from closest property line to closest property line.
– 1262.08 (e) (7) C. – Correcting an error as our building official is currently Greene County Building Regulations and not the health department.

• Ordinance 2021-22 Amending Chapter 1268 re: Expiration: This legislation changes the expiration for a site plan review approval from 12 to 24 months
• Ordinance 2021-23 Amending Chapter 1278 re: Decisions of the Board – Board of Zoning Appeals: This will allow a variance to lapse rather than “expire” after 24 months if, in the case of new construction, no progress is made. Staff is recommending this change as variances are permanent and do not “expire.”
