City manager previews Wright‑Patterson compatibility use plan; no council action taken
Summary
City Manager previewed the Wright‑Patterson Regional Council of Governments Compatibility Use Plan (CUP) and said staff will ask council at a future meeting to accept the plan; the presentation highlighted noise contours, height and zoning alignment and Riverside references in the draft.
The city manager previewed a forthcoming agenda item that will ask Riverside City Council to accept the Wright‑Patterson Regional Council of Governments Compatibility Use Plan (CUP). No formal action was taken at the May 5 meeting; the manager said a resolution will likely be brought to council at the next meeting.
Manager presentation: The CUP is a regional planning document intended to align land‑use planning and zoning around Wright‑Patterson Air Force Base to address base‑specific considerations such as flight lines, noise contours and other military installation factors. The manager compared the CUP to a comprehensive plan and said the document contains chapters that summarize each community’s existing plans and the degree of alignment with base priorities (density, height, lighting and sound attenuation).
Riverside‑specific notes: The manager said Riverside is mentioned in chapter 4 and that the CUP recognizes the city’s 2023 comprehensive plan and recent projects such as the Springfield Street repaving and gateway redesign work supported by congressional staff. The manager also noted that roughly 920 acres in Riverside fall within aircraft noise contours and that those areas could require additional insulation or restrictions for residential development.
Regional coordination: The CUP is intended to create consistency among communities surrounding the base so that development near the installation supports security and mission compatibility. The manager emphasized that the document is a tool for aligning land use and zoning updates and that staff will provide the full CUP document to council members after the meeting.
Next steps: Manager to distribute the CUP document to council and present a resolution at the next meeting for council consideration and possible adoption of CUP principles into Riverside’s planning and zoning work.
