Mark your calendars! Amherst will be celebrating their Bicentennial with a parade on Sunday, September 18, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. in historic downtown Amherst Ohio!
The City of Amherst is extending an invitation to anyone that wishes to participate. This will not be a judged parade. As part of the fun in celebrating our great history we would like to encourage the creative construction of man-powered floats or exhibits in this parade. The event coordinators can be contacted at (440) 988-4380 or (440) 714-1213 for more information or questions.
A Public Hearing on the rezoning of all R-2 (two family residence) to R-1 (single family residence) was held January 10, 2011 at 6:30 p.m.
This is being done to combat the spread of duplex conversions in older neighborhoods and to address the many complaints we have received associated with absentee landlords. Restricting R-2 usage, particularly at common boundaries, will prevent the encroachment of incompatible land usage and protect property values within the R-1 zone, and stabilize R-1 and R-2 development.
