Zoning Committee

Zoning Ordinance & Map Updates

Background

In July of 2010, the Plan Commission and staff began meeting with the Zoning Committee--a group that consists of a portion of the County's Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee--to address issues and deficiencies associated with the Dearborn County Zoning Ordinance.

The initial primary focus of the Zoning Committee is to make recommendations regarding the permitted uses, conditional uses, setbacks, densities, and lot sizes associated with the unincorporated County's Agricultural, Residential, Business, Manufacturing, and Highway Interchange Zoning Districts. Following this effort, the Committee will focus on other potential changes to the community's zoning texts--including parking, landscaping, and hillside development standards--and to the County's zoning maps.
