Plain City holds public hearings on several zoning amendments and advances speed limit resolution for North Chillicothe

Plain City Council opened and closed a series of public hearings on proposed zoning code amendments — ZC-25-8, ZC-25-9, ZC-25-10, ZC-25-11 and ZC-25-12 — and recorded no public comment on any of them.

The presiding official (Speaker 3) formally opened each hearing and then closed it after noting there was no further public comment. The hearings cover proposed amendments to multiple parts of the planning and zoning code (chapters cited on the record). All items had previously passed through planning and zoning and were presented for the council’s consideration.

Separately, the council introduced first readings of multiple ordinances to amend codified zoning chapters (identified on the record as Ordinances 26–30) and several related financial ordinances. Village Administrator Miss Lupton described a staff proposal to set North Chillicothe to a residential 25 mph zone similar to a change made last fall on South Chillicothe: “This would extend the residential type of zone to 25, and it would allow golf carts to get to the entrance of Pastime Park. And I think it’d just be safer.”

A council member moved on Resolution 40-2025 to set the North Chillicothe speed limit at 25 miles per hour; members discussed procedural questions about whether the resolution requires one or two readings, and staff agreed to confirm relevant details and return with information as needed.

No public comments were made during the hearings. The council set the ordinances for their first readings and will consider subsequent readings or actions according to the standard procedure.
