City of Oberlin Development Guide

Why a Development Handbook?
City Departments are finalizing an Oberlin Development Handbook. The handbook will be a reference tool for maneuvering through the City's development process. The Handbook will provide you with procedural and contact information, as well as practical advice for negotiating the development process.
Once completed, a reference version will be listed on this site. THIS SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION...


Purpose of Oberlin's policies, standards, and regulations
The policies, standards, and regulations adopted by the City of Oberlin work together to help create a strong economy, quality neighborhoods and a pleasing built environment. These policies are supported by the City's Comprehensive Plan. It will be updated in 2004 and serves as the foundation for the City's development decisions.


What the Handbook provides
The Handbook will provide an overview of the steps in each of the key development processes, contact information, glossary of key terms, and a list of frequently asked questions. It is to be used as a means of guiding individuals, homeowners, and property owners through the development process. This Handbook does not replace the Zoning Code or Subdivision Regulations, but serves as a summary of the development approval process.


Key reminders
The Handbook provides you with the tools to initiate development activities. In the event that you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to ask for help. The staff is committed to working with you to achieve the best possible results for you and the City. The Planning & Development Department can be reached at (440) 775-7250, 8:30am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday. Forms and permits are also available on the City's website on the Forms and Permits Page in the E-government section.
