Z19-C708: Text Amendment to Amend Section 15 M-1 Limited Industrial District and Section 17 APH - Airport Highway Overlay

Description

Text Amendment to Amend Section 15 M-1 Limited Industrial District and Section 17 APH - Airport Highway Overlay

Summary

Springfield Township seeks to amend Sections 15 and 17 of its Zoning Resolution. The proposal would allow contractor yards, landscape contractors, and outdoor storage as permitted uses in M-1 Limited Industrial districts without requiring a Conditional Use Permit, potentially simplifying approvals for these businesses while maintaining existing height, setback, coverage, and access standards. In the Airport Highway Overlay, the amendment would remove automobile sales, automobile/truck service centers, and contractor yards from the segment between Albon Road and Holloway Road; these uses would remain allowed between Eber Road and Albon Road. The change responds to increased contractor-related applications and would align this overlay with other township overlays. Lucas County staff recommends approval, with a public hearing scheduled for August 26, 2026.
