Trotwood council approves zoning updates and accepts federal and CDBG grants for water and blight projects
Summary
The council approved multiple ordinances to update zoning definitions and permitted uses to align with the city’s comprehensive plan, added an application procedure wait period for a redevelopment area, and unanimously accepted several grant awards including community development block grants and an ODOT pedestrian grant.
Trotwood City Council approved a package of zoning code updates and accepted grant funding for infrastructure and neighborhood cleanup projects during its meeting.
Council members voted to repeal and replace a definitions section of the city zoning code and to adopt a revised Appendix B (schedule of permitted and conditional uses) to align with the city’s February 2025 comprehensive land‑use plan. A separate ordinance added a wait period for resubmissions to the application procedure for the Salem Avenue redevelopment area.
Council also approved a series of resolutions accepting grant awards: three separate community development block grant (CDBG) awards of $75,000 each to support phase 2 of the Effington (Eppington) and McMillan water‑main replacement projects and to fund demolition/cleanup of blighted, vacant and abandoned properties within the city. The council additionally authorized an LPA/ODOT agreement accepting up to $987,120 in federal funds to improve pedestrian access on Olive Road and its intersection with State Route 49 (Project ID 117202).
City staff described the water‑main projects as multi‑phase infrastructure upgrades with contingency allowances and said work on funded phases is planned to begin in summer with a target to complete by fall as conditions permit. The demolition/cleanup CDBG award was presented to support neighborhood stabilization in targeted areas.
Council votes on the ordinances and resolutions were recorded as affirmative across the listed members present, and the items advanced without extended debate.
The meeting record shows the city will proceed with grant agreements and the planning department will implement the zoning code changes. Specific construction timelines and grant agreement details will be handled in follow‑up staff reports and contract approvals.
