Dayton commission approves zoning rewrite, accepts $1M DOT grant and moves forward on right-of-way plans
Summary
The Dayton City Commission passed zoning code amendments and adopted multiple resolutions June 24, including acceptance of a $1,000,000 USDOT Small Community Air Service Development Program grant and intentions to appropriate property for Smithville Road and Salem Avenue reconstruction projects; several board appointments were also approved.
The Dayton City Commission on June 24 approved a second-reading ordinance amending the city’s zoning code and adopted multiple resolutions addressing grants and infrastructure right-of-way plans.
Commissioners voted 4–0 to pass Ordinance No. 32194-26, described in the meeting as repealing, amending and reenacting various sections of the Revised Code of General Ordinances relating to zoning. The vote was taken by roll call during the meeting and recorded as unanimous.
By the same 4–0 margin, the commission adopted Resolution No. 6939-26 authorizing submission and acceptance of a Fiscal Year 2026 United States Department of Transportation Small Community Air Service Development Program grant in the amount of $1,000,000. The resolution, described on the agenda as authorizing acceptance of the grant on behalf of the City, was adopted on second reading.
The commission also adopted a pair of resolutions declaring the intention to appropriate real property interests for two reconstruction projects. Resolution No. 6940-26 (Smithville Road Reconstruction Project) and Resolution No. 6941-26 (Salem Avenue Reconstruction Phase 5 Project) were each adopted by roll call vote 4–0; both were described in the meeting as declarations of intent to appropriate interests in specified parcels to support right-of-way needs for the listed projects.
On the consent/administrative side, the commission approved the City Manager’s reports unanimously and reappointed three members to the Board of Tax Review for terms ending June 30, 2028; the reappointments passed with one abstention by Commissioner Joseph.
What’s next: the zoning ordinance passed on second reading and is now part of the city code update process; the USDOT grant acceptance allows staff to proceed with grant implementation steps. The resolutions declaring intent to appropriate property begin the legal process needed for right-of-way acquisition; project schedules and final acquisitions were not specified in the meeting record.
