Plain City Council approves zoning-procedure amendment and housing MOA; several new items introduced
Summary
At its May 11 meeting, the Plain City Council approved Ordinance 16-2026 amending planning and zoning procedures and passed Resolution 17-2026 authorizing a memorandum of agreement with Arbor Homes and Pulte Homes; the council also introduced several first-reading items including a proposed exterior property maintenance ordinance and a proposed purchase of property on US 42.
Plain City Mayor called the May 11 council meeting to order and led the pledge before the council moved through routine minutes and recognitions. During unfinished business the council took a second reading on Ordinance 16-2026, described by the mayor as amending the codified ordinances (chapter 1136.03) governing procedures for consideration of proposed changes to the planning and zoning code, and moved to adopt it.
"I would accept a motion to approve ordinance 16 dash 20 26," the mayor said, and after a motion and second the council registered affirmative responses and approved the ordinance as presented (the transcript does not include a formal roll-call tally for this vote). The action updates the municipality's procedures for handling proposed zoning changes; the ordinance text and any implementation steps were not detailed on the record at this meeting.
The council also approved Resolution 17-2026, which directs the village administrator to execute a memorandum of agreement with Arbor Homes and Pulte Homes. A motion to approve was made and the transcript records, "Resolution 17Dash2026 is approved." No further terms of the agreement were read into the record during the meeting.
Mayor and staff noted there were no public hearings on the agenda. Under new business the mayor listed several first-reading and introductory items for future consideration, including Ordinance 17-2026 (proposed changes to chapter 13.25, exterior property maintenance), a resolution to establish a code compliance inspector position (Resolution 8-2026), a resolution authorizing sale of village property (Resolution 9-2026), and a proposed purchase agreement with Valentine Family LP for property at 0 US 42 in Plain City. Those items were presented as first-reading introductions and were not voted on at the meeting.
Village staff and the mayor closed the meeting with standard announcements and a motion to adjourn.
What happens next: the newly introduced ordinances and resolutions were listed as first readings or agenda items; the city will return them for future consideration and potential votes at later meetings.
