  • 1. McMahan, Kevin Colerain Township Zoning Amendment Case: ZA2006-04

    MCP, University of Cincinnati, 2007, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Community Planning

    In late 2005, owners of Rumpke, Inc. decided to “expand” their Colerain Township landfill. This report analyzes the zone amendment process for Ohio townships. Case: ZA2006-04 is studied to determine how closely this process is followed. The “expansion” or siting of a landfill is a scenario which will continue to play-out in municipalities across America. For planners, understanding as much as possible about the zone change process necessary for development of a landfill, or other LULUs, enables us to approach these situations strategically. For everyday citizens, educating themselves on statutes which shape their world empowers them to live a more meaningful life, and helps them feel included in decisions their elected officials are making. Findings show there is not much room for deviation from O.R.C. requirements. An analysis of interviewees' opinions revealed a consensus that the NIMBY factor is to blame for why zone amendment decisions are challenged in court.
