RAYS sought legal counsel in determining whether a Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) can be upheld as law in the state of Ohio. Long story short, it can! This means that key principles of the CLUP can be upheld in planning and zoning decisions.

These principles include, but are not limited to: providing quality housing for potential residents of all income levels; supporting land use development that allows for walking and bicycling; promoting mixed-use land development; promoting synergies (not disharmonies); preserving open space, naturally occurring topographic features and vegetation, critical environmental areas, historic buildings, and land uses; and developing through infill when possible.

This is a big win for the future of Yellow Springs, as we’ve continually been told that the CLUP is just a guide. Nope, it’s the law!
