Council votes to draft ordinance for zoning change at 2955 Spring West

The Moraine City Council committee of the whole voted unanimously to direct staff to prepare legislation to rezone 2955 Spring West from B1 to B2, a request identified as Case R-02-2026. The item, introduced by city staff and previously recommended by the planning commission on April 21, 2026, was discussed after a public hearing held earlier that evening.

Council members noted that the change may be premature because the specific business that would occupy the site is not yet known, but said the B2 classification does not appear to raise immediate objections. Mayor Murphy and the council agreed to forward the item to the full council with suggested legislation for consideration at the next meeting.

The roll call vote to prepare legislation was recorded as all present voting yes: Mayor Murphy; Mr. Miller; Mr. Dy (variously recorded in the transcript); Mr. Delve; Mrs. Wit; Mrs. Allen; and Miss Marcus. No formal rezoning ordinance was adopted at the committee meeting; the action directs staff to draft and place the ordinance on the council agenda for adoption consideration.
