City of Oakwood
For all applications, city staff must provide a presentation to the BZA or Planning Commission. Please understand that city staff cannot guarantee that the BZA or Planning Commission will approve your application. In some instances, approval of a proposal may be subject to certain conditions imposed by either the BZA or Planning Commission. City staff will share concerns with you before the hearing; our opinion, however, should not deter you from continuing with your request.
One final point- we have found over the years that sharing your plans with your neighbors before a scheduled public hearing can be very beneficial. It is not only common courtesy, but it can also serve as a good way to address important issues before the BZA or Planning Commission hearings.
If you have any questions or concerns about the application process, please contact me at (937) 297-2920 or zoning@oakwoodohio.gov.
Sincerely,
Sarah Valentin
Building Commissioner
