Indiana County Zoning
Indiana County
Special Recreation and Conservation Zoning Ordinance
The purpose of the Indiana County Special Recreation and Conservation
Zoning Ordinance is to protect the investment in and use of three County
Parks (Blue Spruce Park, Pine Ridge Park, and Hemlock Lake) and Yellow Creek
State Park from the encroachment of detrimental land uses. This is
accomplished through the establishment of zoning districts around each park
wherein the use of land and buildings is controlled through the regulations.
Permitted, Special Exception, and Prohibited uses are listed for a Buffer Zone
and Conservation Zone around each Park. Plans for new uses or changes to
existing uses must be reviewed and approved by the Indiana County Zoning
Officer or the Indiana County Zoning Hearing Board. Specific use regulations,
powers and duties of the Zoning Officer and Zoning Hearing Board, appeal
procedures, and penalties for violations of the regulations are provided for in
the Ordinance.
Property owners and developers are encouraged to contact our office with any
questions on these Ordinances.
