Zoning Division

The Division works to create code and enforcement solutions to planning, zoning, and development challenges. It is also responsible for approving temporary signs, banners, and fence permits, as well as reviewing all building and development plans.

Land Use Plan Update
The City of Gahanna has a long tradition of planning. This commitment to planning has helped the City increase its commercial and industrial resources, strengthening the City’s tax base. As the tax base of the City increases, so does the level of services, thus increasing the overall quality of life for both the day and night residents. In 2002, the City updated its land use plan. This updated plan contains a series of policy statements as well as community objectives and supporting principles. This document reflects the City of Gahanna’s commitment to periodically reexamine existing plans and evaluate their effectiveness in addressing previously identified problems and issues. It also incorporates the special studies undertaken since the original 1993 plan and reflects new opportunities and challenges.
The plan provides a vision of the future land use pattern within the City ... a working document aimed at guiding decisions for the various boards and commissions as well as those parties making investments in the future of Gahanna.
