Zoning Commission
Overview
The Township Zoning Commission consists of five residents appointed by the Trustees to five-year terms. The terms are staggered so the term of one member expires each year. The Zoning Commission meets regularly for the purpose of developing and maintaining a plan regulating land use within the Township. This plan, set forth both in texts and maps, indicates permitted and prohibited uses of all land within the Township. Actions of the Zoning Commission are subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Regular Meetings
Regular meetings of the Zoning Commission are held on the first Wednesday of every month at 5:30pm PM EST when there is an application pending before the Board. Meetings are held at the Springfield Township Town Hall located at 2459 Canfield Rd Akron, OH 44312.
