§ 153.446. Submission to Director of State Department of Transportation.

Before any zoning amendment is approved affecting any land within three hundred feet of the centerline of a proposed new highway or highway for which changes are proposed as described in the certification to local officials by the Director of the Ohio Department of Transportation, or within a radius of five hundred feet from the point of intersection of such centerline with any public road or highway, the Planning Commission shall give notice, by registered or certified mail, to the Director. The Commission may proceed as required by law. However, Council shall not approve the amendment for one hundred twenty days from the date the notice is received by the Director. If the Director notifies the City that he shall proceed to acquire the land needed, then the City shall refuse to approve the zoning amendment. If the Director notifies the City that acquisition at this time is not in the public interest, or on the expiration of the one hundred twenty day period or any extension thereof agreed on between the Director and the property owner, Council shall proceed as required by law.
