Council introduces rezoning for 520‑home 'Trailside Run' subdivision

Xenia City Council · August 28, 2026

Summary

Rockford Homes asked the city to rezone about 121.6 acres to permit Trailside Run, a proposed 520-home suburban neighborhood. Planning and Zoning recommended approval; council introduced Ordinance 2026-32 but emphasized rezoning is not final development approval.

City Manager Brent Merriman told council that Rockford Homes applied to rezone 121.558 acres from agricultural to suburban neighborhood district to enable the Trailside Run development, a proposed 520-home single-family subdivision, and that planning recommended rezoning at its Aug. 12 meeting. "Approval of the rezoning is not approval of the development itself," Merriman told council; the developer must still submit subdivision plans for separate review.

Merriman explained the suburban neighborhood district permits single- and two-family residential development at up to four units per acre and that the rezoning would combine parcels including an already-suburban-zoned 62.077-acre tract. Council introduced Ordinance 2026-32 to begin the rezoning process; no final subdivision approval or construction permits were granted tonight.
