Ohio Code § 713.10

§ 713.10.

The districting or zoning of any municipal corporation or part thereof may be based

upon any combination of two or more of the purposes described in sections 713.07 to 713.09, inclusive, of the Revised Code .  In the determination and establishment of such districts buildings and other structures

may be classified on the basis of the nature or character of trade, industry, profession,

or other activity conducted or to be conducted therein, the number of persons, families,

or other group units to reside in or use them, the public, quasi-public, or private

nature of the use thereof, or upon any other basis relevant to the promotion of the

public safety, health, morals, convenience, prosperity, or welfare. The legislative authority of such municipal corporation may amend or change the number,

shape, area, or regulations of or within any district, but no such amendment or change

shall become effective unless the ordinance proposing it is first submitted to the

planning commission, board, or officer for approval, disapproval, or suggestions and

the commission, board, or officer is allowed a reasonable time, not less than thirty

days, for consideration and report.
