Zoning, building permits and septic rules in Town of Ridgeville, Indiana

Rules another office applies inside Town of Ridgeville

Town of Ridgeville does not set these itself; the county, a health district or the state does, and they apply to every address inside its limits.

• Local zoningPresent (with conditions)

  Land inside Ridgeville town limits, which the Unified Zoning Ordinance of Randolph County names as one of the covered towns. This is a county-prepared joint ordinance, not a separately adopted Ridgeville town ordinance as far as was verified.

  • The ordinance's title lists the Town of Ridgeville among the covered jurisdictions, and its floodplain chapter states it applies within the Town of Ridgeville's jurisdiction.
  • Whether the Town of Ridgeville formally adopted this ordinance, and whether it administers the ordinance itself or through the county Area Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals, was NOT verified.
  • The town's zoning map and district boundaries inside town limits were not located.

  “unified zoning ordinance of randolph county, indiana town of farmland town of losantville town of lynn town of modoc town of parker city town of ridgeville town of saratoga city of union city city of winchester prepared by: area planning commission of randolph county, indiana revised 2018”

• Zoning districtsPartial

  Zoning district classes in the Unified Zoning Ordinance of Randolph County, which names the Town of Ridgeville. The town-specific district map inside Ridgeville town limits was not located.

  • The district table is written as a county-wide division, so which districts apply to a given Ridgeville parcel depends on a map that was not opened.

  “for the purposes of this ordinance, randolph county is hereby divided into the zoning districts as listed in table 1.01.1 below:”

• Building in a floodplainLimited

  Special Flood Hazard Areas and known flood-prone land inside Ridgeville town's jurisdiction, under the county-prepared Unified Zoning Ordinance

  • Applies only to SFHA and known flood-prone land; it does not cover all land in the town.
  • The flood maps referenced are the FEMA maps dated March 4, 2013, as cited in the ordinance.
  • The specific permit or development-approval requirement was not quoted from the chapter and was not verified.

  “this ordinance shall apply to all sfhas and known flood prone areas within the jurisdiction of randolph county, the city of winchester, the town of farmland, the town of ridgeville, the city of union city and the town of parker city.”
