Staff explained the CRA Housing Council is a seven‑member advisory body that evaluates proposals for tax incentives within Community Reinvestment Areas; the planning commission is responsible for appointing one member to the council. After nominations were opened, commissioners closed nominations, moved to appoint Harrison and approved the appointment by voice vote.

The commission also selected a planning‑commission representative to the Riverside Community Improvement Corporation (CIC), a nonprofit partner authorized to assist the city’s economic work and property disposition; Commissioner Vasquez accepted the nomination and the commission approved his appointment by voice vote.

Both appointments were made by motion and carried without recorded roll‑call tallies in the meeting minutes; absent commissioners at the time were Mr. Owens and Mr. Rogers. Appointees should coordinate with staff on any onboarding steps and meeting schedules.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025-05-21 Planning Commission","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning Commission appointed a commissioner to the CRA Housing Council and named a representative to the Riverside Community Improvement Corporation by voice votes during its May 21 meeting.","taxTitle","Riverside, Montgomery County, Ohio","taxId",71130,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6228143,"Planning staff outlines Phase 2 of UDO rewrite; steering committee to review property maintenance code",90,1157000,1247000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3477624-258878b9eb72edf6d4fd486ec8bbc6f7&start=1157&end=1247","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3477624-258878b9eb72edf6d4fd486ec8bbc6f7/thumbnail_1157000.jpg","/articles/6228143/Riverside/Montgomery-County/Ohio/Planning-staff-outlines-Phase-2-of-UDO-rewrite-steering-committee-to-review-property-maintenance-code","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228143-6416f2c0b5c4770a6c46f39d7ae93611/orig.mp4?Expires=1770979331&Signature=LpCnpRFH5RV698SWZ1SX3zN-Ph~zC8OxaH~nd2BvQKXEJcR4SIUrbkXoBvdk-fJp-6DCGjkQOBg-7CrMsZVLsSwYs2-s-xLkIoBsWZz1o6AQisMxYt8c79k238o4Iqk69kKAKZ7Gc1hVLVCzfeuI7fN7STwZRRPAEKnhLrko9IUkqdPwOng9ASMP4cPJRXQhjErikPcib9sqNjLl1pdpM8B~SSOicyE-HLmgrBML1qDyKDYBq4hZORlAaL8DlPwdtCjHAJeq0U8aVgWeJ4oQF7rxa37qaOV4nPC2DiR93ZJPot42unDYT~mEWwfs~1Q--e8XqubOtDHDYKSTsRNgZw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Planning staff told the City of Riverside Planning Commission on May 21 that work on Phase 2 of the Unified Development Ordinance rewrite is underway and that the consultant and steering committee have drafted Article 1 and are preparing materials to make the code more user‑friendly.

Naya Holt, planning staff, said the rewrite will include a consolidated table of uses, a larger glossary adjacent to regulations, new graphics illustrating lot widths and buildable lots, and clearer definitions for sign types and other terms. “We wanna make it user friendly,” Holt said, adding the goal is for anyone using the code to be able to find applicable rules without flipping between sections.

Holt said the steering committee will meet next week to review the property maintenance code, which staff have used for nearly two years and want to refresh. She also described proposed changes to district names and a move to hybrid mixed‑use districts focused on the city’s key corridors — Valley, Linden, Burkhart and other corridors discussed during the meeting — so commercial uses and entertainment options can be better accommodated.

Commission members discussed streamlining minor applications so routine matters could be signed off administratively rather than brought before the planning commission. Chair Denning encouraged commissioners, business owners and residents to submit examples of items that could be handled administratively via the city’s contact channels; staff said they intend to hold at least one community meeting before the rewrite advances to the planning commission for formal consideration.

No formal actions were taken; staff will bring subsequent drafts and steering‑committee recommendations back to the planning commission for review.","Staff reported progress on the city’s Unified Development Ordinance rewrite, including draft Article 1, a table of uses, expanded glossary, graphics and planned community engagement; the steering committee will next review the property maintenance code.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6228148,"Planning Commission approves illuminated sign waiver for Union Schoolhouse Road entrance",78,522000,600000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3477624-258878b9eb72edf6d4fd486ec8bbc6f7&start=522&end=600","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3477624-258878b9eb72edf6d4fd486ec8bbc6f7/thumbnail_522000.jpg","/articles/6228148/Riverside/Montgomery-County/Ohio/Planning-Commission-approves-illuminated-sign-waiver-for-Union-Schoolhouse-Road-entrance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228148-ed084d0c3ac9945a25194c10b1294506/orig.mp4?Expires=1770979331&Signature=FBWW-sjt1ow-PEBdzht87FnmSW3Ec1n3qbk7u3VkjV1fO3pHy0xra-0PARoSApPmC7ocdCewX65PFl0mA5ag1G8~lUl2fTUq7UnKQkWs6mdO12A3PEibEA1boAwQ-s4etrptpFQuTA7~3AOwxxfB8Rg2i-LO93pR-FNbnRnwdiWqO-s7MNvB0j3j36aBrZUS77maZFFnHoJkU6OT7p-76uG0BZ7a7UV0aUnQWLJ9MVulxozb1fUaQjSzcpYPsiQMzPR~~TWOVpMACvN-ln55C3ewfoby3i5Rqg80T3Av1WBovWCEOrwdrHwmbpIoMqeCNNFibQYggyqR~4Cjwa2OTQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Riverside Planning Commission on May 21 approved PC case 25‑0002, a waiver to permit an illuminated entrance sign for the development on Union Schoolhouse Road in the R‑3 medium‑density residential district (parcel ID 39003100003).

Planning staff presented the application and recommended approval, saying the proposed brick sign, 10 feet wide by 6 feet high with a stone roof, meets the city’s sign regulations for height, material and location but requires a waiver because the Unified Development Ordinance restricts illumination in residential districts. “It will be no brighter than the existing sign’s light,” said Naya Holt, planning staff, describing controls the applicant will use to limit brightness and noting the new sign would improve visibility of the community entrance.

Scott Kreckman, president of the homeowner association and the applicant, told the commission the existing sign is unstable and “capable of being blown over by a stiff breeze,” and that the proposed sign follows a style used elsewhere in the city. Resident and former planning‑commission chair Richard Koppold spoke in support: “Having seen the presentation and heard from the applicant … I state my support for passage of the waiver,” he said.

Commissioner Vasquez recused himself from deliberations because he is a resident of Forest Ridge. A motion to approve the waiver was made and seconded; Chair Denning and Commissioner Hairston voted yes, Vasquez recorded an abstention, and the motion carried. The commission directed the applicant to follow up with staff for any remaining administrative steps.

The waiver allows the applicant to replace the existing sign with the proposed illuminated structure. Staff noted the illumination will be downlighting from under the sign roof, landscaping will be updated using native species, and that the design is intended to match similar signs in nearby subdivisions. The commission’s approval applies only to the waiver requested and does not change other requirements of the city’s Unified Development Ordinance.

The applicant was told to contact Naya Holt for next steps on permits and installation.","The City of Riverside Planning Commission voted to approve a waiver allowing an illuminated entrance sign in an R‑3 residential district for PC case 25‑0002, with one commissioner recusing and one abstention.","actionData","errors"]
