Avon places one‑year moratorium on R‑3 multifamily development while ordinances are reviewed
Summary
City Council imposed a one‑year moratorium on development in the R‑3 multi‑family zoning district to allow review of applicable Ohio statutes, regulations and the city's code; Planning Commission had recommended six months but Council extended to one year for additional study.
Planning staff told the commission that Council elected to impose a one‑year moratorium on new development in the R‑3 multi‑family district to allow a thorough review of Ohio statutes, regulations and Avon’s codified ordinances. The Planning Commission had recommended a six‑month period, but Council opted for a longer pause to address outstanding issues such as fire access and other development concerns.
Mayor Bryan Jensen urged a clearly defined demarcation to prevent unintended extensions of R‑3 zoning into areas intended for industrial uses and to provide consistent guidance for future requests.
