TITLE: Title
A Motion by the Trotwood City Council to schedule a Public Hearing and to authorize the Law Director to draft an ordinance accepting the recommendation of the Trotwood Planning Commission to repeal Section 1125.08 “Zoning Text and Map Amendments” of the Trotwood Code of Ordinances, and to adopt a new Section 1125.08 “Zoning Text and Map Amendments” to update notification requirements.
Body
PURPOSE: Schedule Public Hearing and draft legislation
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Department
CONTACT INFORMATION: Tyler Hauck, Director
INFORMATION: PL-2026-17. Currently when a request to rezone a parcel is received, the City is required to post a Notice of Public Hearing according to the Charter and mail the same Notice to all parcel owners within 300 feet of the subject property.
The Planning Commission recommends changing the notification requirements so that when more than 10 properties are being rezoned as a part of a single application, a mailed notice to each parcel owner within 300 feet would not be required. Such requirement poses a significant burden on the City in terms of manpower, time, and cost to taxpayers. The City would still post a Notice of Public Hearing as required by the Charter.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: N/A
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend Approval
