Introduced Text

Ohio SB122 amends local zoning regulations for agricultural land, limiting local authority over certain agricultural activities.

Ohio SB122 modifies local zoning regulations to restrict local authorities' power over agricultural land. Specifically, it limits the ability of township zoning commissions, boards of township trustees, and boards of zoning appeals to prohibit agricultural uses or construction on land used for agriculture. It allows local regulation of farm markets, biodiesel production, biomass energy production, electric or heat energy production, and agritourism, provided these regulations are necessary for public health and safety.
