Council hears Butler County Regional Transit Authority expansion plan for Moser Court campus
Summary
Planning staff presented a major plan development amendment and specific use request from Butler County Regional Transit Authority for campus and fleet-expansion work at 3045 Moser Court; the item was introduced and is at first reading.
Hamilton City Council received a presentation on a proposed expansion of the Butler County Regional Transit Authority (BCRTA) campus at 3045 Moser Court that would add vocational training space, expand fleet capacity, and provide fueling infrastructure.
Lauren Nelson, director of planning, summarized that the application was a combined major plan development departure amendment and specific use request; the applicant submitted eight variances tied to site layout and operational needs, Nelson said. John Bayer of Bayer Becker, listed as the applicant’s professional engineer on the filing, presented design details in the planning commission review. Nelson told council the planning commission recommended approval of the applications at its review.
The proposal would expand service and training capacity for BCRTA, and council members were given the opportunity to ask technical questions during the committee-of-the-whole discussion. The ordinance approving the plan was introduced at first reading but was not adopted at the meeting; further review and formal votes will follow later in the council process.
Why it matters: The BCRTA campus expansion would increase local transit operations capacity, vocational training space and fueling for public transit vehicles—an operational expansion for regional transit in Hamilton.
