NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
A public hearing will be held on Thursday, March 19th, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. before the City of Hamilton Planning Commission in the City Council Chambers located on the first floor at 345 High Street in Hamilton, Ohio 45011.
LOCATION: The area in question is shown in the attached map
APPLICANT: City of Hamilton Planning Department
REQUEST: Zoning Map amendments changing the zoning on the area in question from a mixture of residential, commercial, and industrial districts to a Traditional Neighborhood (TN) District.
The City of Hamilton has embarked on an initiative called the Traditional Neighborhoods (TN) Project.
The goal of the TN Project is to establish new zoning regulations specifically tailored to the unique
character and form of Hamilton’s traditional neighborhoods.
Project Background
Traditional neighborhoods are those parts of the city that were developed prior to the 1950’s.
Distinctly different than suburban neighborhoods, these areas feature smaller lot sizes
and homes built within a well-connected street system where destinations, amenities and cultural
institutions are located within walking distance.
Currently, a majority of the city’s TN areas have suburban zoning standards that were applied when zoning was first adopted in the 1970’s. The current zoning calls for moderate to high density multi-family residential or suburban style commercial land uses. Planning Staff has done extensive research and found that the current zoning does not accurately reflect what actually exists in these neighborhoods, most of which are occupied by single-family housing.
The current zoning regulations also require large setback requirements which pose a hardship on property owners by forcing them to construct homes, business, building additions, and accessory structures far from property lines and existing structures which contrasts with the existing development on their property and within the surrounding areas.
In order to combat these issues, Planning Staff has drafted new zoning districts specifically written to address the unique identity of traditional neighborhoods. The proposed rezoning is also part of an ongoing effort to implement the recommendations of Plan Hamilton, the City’s new Comprehensive Plan which calls out new zoning that compliments the existing development in these areas.
Please contact Ed Wilson or Lauren Nelson of the Planning Department (513 785-7350) with any questions or comments.
***Please note that the Butler County side of the building (315 High Street) will be locked after 5:00pm.
Use the front entrance at 345 High Street to enter the public meeting.***
