Community and Economic Development Committee for 4/13/2026

The City of Troy, Ohio Community and Economic Development Committee met on April 13, 2026, to discuss two main items related to local development and zoning. The committee recommended approval of the final record plan for phase two of the Somerset Reserve planned development, which includes 49 buildable lots. Additionally, the committee considered extending a moratorium for an additional 90 days on new applications for community-oriented residential social service facilities and automobile fuel dispensing and service stations. This extension is intended to allow more time for the completion and review of the new unified development code (UDC). A significant discussion focused on a gas station project that had invested approximately $600,000 and was near completion of the approval process before the moratorium was enacted. The applicant was not formally recognized under the current moratorium exception language, causing delays and concerns about the project's timeline. The committee agreed to proceed with the moratorium extension but emphasized the need for timely completion and review of the UDC to avoid further delays. No emergency legislation was requested, and any further extensions would require council approval.
