§ 519.25.
In any township in which there is in force a plan of township zoning, the plan may
be repealed by the board of township trustees in the following manner: (A) The board may adopt a resolution upon its own initiative. (B) The board shall adopt a resolution if there is presented to it a petition, similar
in all relevant aspects to that prescribed in section 519.12 of the Revised Code , signed by a number of qualified electors residing in the unincorporated area of
such township included in the zoning plan equal to not less than fifteen per cent
of the total vote cast for all candidates for governor in such area at the most recent
general election at which a governor was elected, requesting that the question of
whether or not the plan of zoning in effect in such township shall be repealed be
submitted to the electors residing in the unincorporated area of the township included
in the zoning plan at a special election to be held on the day of the next primary
or general election. The resolution adopted by the board of township trustees to cause such question
to be submitted to the electors shall be certified to the board of elections not later
than ninety days prior to the day of election at which said question is to be voted
upon. In the event a majority of the vote cast on such question in the township is in
favor of repeal of zoning, then such regulations shall no longer be of any effect. Not more than one such election shall be held in any two calendar years.
