Council lists amended rezoning ordinance for City Lots 5049–5051; public hearing set for July 7
Summary
Amended Ordinance No. 26-062, sponsored by Council Member Mike Reese, would reclassify City Lots 5049 and 5050 from R-1 to R-2 and change Lot 5051 from College Street Gateway to R-2; the ordinance declares an emergency and schedules a public hearing for July 7, 2026.
Wadsworth City Council published Amended Ordinance No. 26-062, sponsored by Council Member Mike Reese, to reclassify City Lots 5049 and 5050 from the R-1 Residential District to the R-2 Residential District and to change City Lot 5051 from College Street Gateway to R-2.
The ordinance text states that the designated lots "have no connection with the single family lots on Apple and Pegan Drive" and finds rezoning appropriate. The measure is presented as an emergency to "promote economic development" and cites compliance with Ohio Revised Code section 121.22 regarding open meetings. A public hearing on the ordinance is scheduled for July 7, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers, according to the agenda text.
The agenda lists Mike Reese as sponsor and includes the formal emergency clause; the ordinance text also contains the typical publication and attestation lines (President of Council, Clerk of Council, Mayor) but the agenda does not record a vote tally or whether the third reading was approved. The document identifies prior committee consideration (Planning Commission forwarded April 27, 2026 and discussed at Committee of the Whole May 6, 2026) but does not supply further staff findings or affected property owner statements.
Next steps in the published materials are the July 7 public hearing and the council's future vote; the agenda did not include vote results or additional staff reports in the published text.
