Lafayette Township
Medina County, Ohio
This new Lafayette Township Comprehensive Plan has been developed to
provide a strategic long-term vision and basic goals, objectives, policies and
recommendations to help guide the township‘s future growth and
development. The Plan makes recommendations in the areas of land use,
transportation, economic development, parks and open space, historical and
cultural resources, housing, community facilities, agricultural and natural
resources, sustainability, utilities, and intergovernmental cooperation. When
adopted, the Comprehensive Plan will be one of the primary tools used by
Township agencies, the Zoning Commission, Township Trustees and other
policy bodies to make decisions about the location of land uses and community
facilities, priorities for public investment and the extension of public services,
business development, and how to meet transportation needs.
The Comprehensive Plan will also provide a community-wide framework for the
many other levels of plans and ongoing planning activities that are an integral
part of life in this township; including neighborhood and special area plans,
transportation plans, and plans for specific community facilities and services,
such as parks, community centers or police and fire services.
Ultimately the Comprehensive Plan will help to guide the type, location and
appearance of growth and preservation in the community over the next 20
years.
Where is Lafayette Township in the Planning Process?
The Lafayette Township Board of Trustees approved the Comprehensive Plan
at it's meeting on April 18, 2011. The census tables within the plan will be
updated when the current census information is available.
The Comprehensive Plan is available here.
