The City of London Ohio

Zoning regulation deals primarily with the use of a particular property. Building setbacks, required parking, lot coverage, and signage are some of the issues also addressed in zoning review. For many small projects zoning review can be handled by the zoning staff. Applications for larger projects may need to be reviewed by the City Planning Commission. Some conditionally permitted uses are subject to conditions set forth by the Board of Zoning Appeals. If a proposed project cannot meet all of the requirements of the zoning regulations, a variance may be requested.
