Council committees continue zoning-code update; 36 North Walnut zoning sent for legal review

Chillicothe City Council committee reports on July 14 said the city is continuing a multi-meeting zoning and codified-code update led by consultant American StructurePoint, and that an ordinance concerning zoning for 36 North Walnut Street was amended in committee and forwarded to the law director's office for review.

Development Committee member DeMint told council the committee held a session earlier the same evening on the zoning and code update from American StructurePoint and said the matter is "pretty big business," adding that the committee will likely hold another meeting because "we're not quite where we need to be yet."

Engineering Committee Chair Dunn reported the committee met July 10 for a third committee review of Ordinance 02047 concerning zoning for 36 North Walnut Street. She said the committee added a few changes and sent the draft to the law director's office for legal review; the council did not take further action on that ordinance during the July 14 meeting.

The council did not specify the substance of the committee edits in the public record nor set a timeline for subsequent readings. Both committee reports indicate the zoning/code update and the Walnut Street ordinance remain active items under committee consideration.
