Chapter 6464.261. Zoning districts, creation, regulations (noncharter first class counties). — For any or all of said purposes, the unincorporated territory may be divided into districts of such number, shape and area as may be deemed best suited to carry out the purposes of sections 64.211 to 64.295, and shall be shown upon the plans or described in the regulations along with standards for their application. Within the districts, the erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair or use of buildings, structures or land may be regulated and restricted.
