Huber Heights — The Huber Heights City Council opened a public hearing March 9 on TA26-06, a city-initiated text amendment to Section 1152 of the zoning code that would permit "personal service establishments" in the O1 (General Office) district.
City staff explained the change is intended to allow more reuse of smaller office parcels—examples given included nail salons, barbershops and beauty salons—particularly along Old Troy Pike and Brandt Pike. Staff said the definitions will be updated in the broader code rewrite to ensure consistency.
During the hearing a resident, Danielle Macon, asked what the case number referred to and later raised a separate comment about the use of professional titles by council members. Staff answered the zoning question and clarified that the public hearing was the correct forum for questions; no speakers registered in opposition. The council accepted the work-session recommendation to move the ordinance to a second reading and scheduled it to appear at the next meeting.
What happens next
Staff will prepare the ordinance language and an updated definitions section as part of the code rewrite; the item will return for a second reading at a subsequent council meeting.
