The American Township Zoning Resolution has been amended, by the Zoning Commission and approved by the Board of Trustees on September 8, 2025.  Changes are effective October 8, 2025.  The following articles were amended.

 

Articles 1 thru 11, 17.7,18.7,18.8,19.8, 19.11,27.5.15, 27.5.16, 27.7.1, Article 23-Medical / Adult Use Cannabis have been reviewed, discussed, and amended.  A link will be posted shortly directing you to the PDF document.  

Effective October 30, 2025, by Resolution #0929-2025-2 The Board of Trustees passed a resolution on September 29, 2025 requiring registration and regulation of transient vendors in American Township.  Ohio Revised Code 505.94 addresses the registration and regulation of transient vendors conducting door-to-door solicitation, soliciting orders and future orders of goods for delivery.  Solicitors will be required to be permitted by the American Township Zoning Department, prior to conducting door-to door sales.  In addition, a list will be developed from residents requesting that they do not want to be contacted by vendors.  This list will be provided to the vendors prior to conducting business.  This is for accountability, safety, and protecting the residents from coercive, abusive or misleading sales tactics.  More information will be posted in next few weeks.
