Summary
On June 9 the Steubenville City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2026-32 rezoning 609 N. 7th Street from I-1 commercial/industrial to R-3 high-density residential; the ordinance takes effect July 9, 2026.
The Steubenville City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2026-32 on third reading to rezone property at 609 N. 7th Street (owned by VM 609 LLC) from I-1 general commercial and industrial to R-3 high-density residential. Councilmember Mayo called the question and the ordinance passed by unanimous roll call; Mayor Petrella announced the ordinance will go into effect on July 9, 2026.
The rezoning was handled as a final reading; the mayor opened the floor for comments but no public opposition or speaker testimony on the ordinance is recorded in the minutes. The measure moves the parcel into a residential zoning category and will change permitted uses under the city's zoning code when the ordinance takes effect.
