• 2019 Ohio 4801

Syllabus

The City's mandamus action, filed to compel the Board to approve its expedited type 2 annexation petition, would not be dismissed on summary judgment. Such a petition must satisfy the statute's express requirement of having at least a 5% contiguous border, rather than the definition of contiguity developed in prior caselaw. Because a separate, second contiguity requirement does not apply, the mandamus action will not be dismissed.
