Troy council adopts rezoning for 57.679-acre Smith annexation

The Troy City Council voted Sept. 2 to change the zoning of 57.679 acres known as the Smith annexation from Miami County A2 General Agriculture to the City of Troy R4 Single-Family Residential, adopting ordinance O23-20-25 on third reading.

Council President Samuel Pierce read the ordinance and the council moved to adopt after the required readings; there was a public hearing on the measure at the council's prior meeting. The law and ordinance committee had recommended the rezoning following a Troy Planning Commission recommendation and staff findings.

The ordinance affects in Lot 11851 at the southeast corner of Wilson Road and Fenner Road and was described in committee as implementing the city's zoning for a planned single-family subdivision. The council's roll-call vote on the adoption recorded a majority of affirmative votes and the ordinance was adopted.

No amendments to the ordinance were offered during the Sept. 2 vote, and no further action or conditions were recorded in the meeting minutes. The council did not specify an effective date during the reading; statutory posting and codification steps were not detailed at the meeting.

The rezoning follows the Planning Commission recommendation and staff findings that were presented to the law and ordinance committee earlier in August; council members said the item had been the subject of prior public hearing.

Council President Samuel Pierce closed the item and the council moved on to other business.
