The Jefferson Township Zoning Commission is a five-member board (with one alternate) composed of volunteer Jefferson Township residents appointed by the Board of Trustees. 

 
The Commission hears and decides a variety of land use cases. The bulk of the Commission’s work includes the following: applications to rezone property, development plans for Planned Unit Developments, and zoning resolution amendments

In its review of Planned Unit Developments and, the Zoning Commission carries significant influence over the site design, as well as the appearance of buildings, landscaping, and amenities. On rezoning requests and text amendments, the Commission submits a recommendation to the Board of Trustees. In all cases, the Commission accepts public comment, reviews all submitted evidence, and after careful deliberation enters a formal decision or recommendation.
