Zoning symbolized according to each individual community’s zoning map with Stark County, Ohio. This layer was originally conceived as part of a general zoning map for 12 counties across Northeast Ohio. The project was headed by the Northeast Ohio Sustainable Communities Consortium (NEOSCC), with the final map being produced by the Stark County Regional Planning Commission (SCRPC). SCRPC worked with Stark County's cities and villages to obtain zoning data they maintained and then completed the layer by digitizing zoning data for the county's townships with zoning resolutions (some of Stark County's townships and villages are not zoned). Once that project was completed in 2013, SCRPC continued to update zoning data for the townships. City and village data was appended to the layer when provided by those communities.

This layer was revamped in 2022 to provide additional capabilities. A field for general zoning was added to show generalized zones to eliminate the need to symbolize by the hundreds of zones across the county. Information for what chapter/section was added, along with hyperlinks to those sections in the codified ordinances and zoning resolutions for communities with that information online. This layer is symbolized according to the zoning maps of each community, which means the same zone in two different communities can be different colors. These colors are decided by the communities and match their paper zoning maps when possible.
