Plain City Council unanimously approves zoning procedure amendment and MOA with builders
Summary
At its May 11 meeting, the Plain City Village Council unanimously approved Ordinance 16-2026 (amending Chapter 1136.03 of the Planning and Zoning Code) and Resolution 17-2026 (authorizing a memorandum of agreement with Arbor Homes and Pulte Homes). Both passed on a 7–0 voice vote.
Plain City Village Council unanimously approved two items on May 11, 2026, including a change to the village planning and zoning procedure and a memorandum of agreement with private builders.
The council passed Ordinance 16-2026 on second reading, amending Chapter 1136.03 of the Codified Ordinances (Procedure for Consideration of Proposed Change or Amendment). Council Member Aaron Lewis moved to approve and Council Member Jamey Sintz seconded; the motion was adopted with all members voting in favor.
The same meeting saw passage of Resolution 17-2026, which authorizes and directs Village Administrator Haley Lupton to execute a Memorandum of Agreement with Arbor Homes and Pulte Homes. Jim Eudaily moved the resolution; Michael Terry seconded and the council approved it unanimously. The text and specific provisions of the MOA were not specified in the meeting minutes.
Why it matters: The ordinance changes the procedural rules for how proposed zoning and planning amendments are considered in Plain City, which could affect public notice, review timelines or how applications move through planning steps. The MOA with Arbor Homes and Pulte Homes signals a staff-level agreement with private developers that may shape upcoming development or utility and infrastructure responsibilities; the minutes do not record terms, financial commitments or implementation timelines.
What’s next: Both measures passed at this meeting and will proceed under the village’s implementation processes. No additional debate or recorded amendments were noted in the minutes on May 11.
