Tipp City boards tackle comprehensive plan, zoning variances, and disc golf tournament
Three Tipp City advisory boards met last week, taking up the 2026 Comprehensive Plan, two property variance requests, and a disc golf tournament at City Park. All three meetings were agenda-only sessions, meaning minutes have not yet been published and no official outcomes or vote tallies are available yet.
Planning Board holds hearings on 2026 Comprehensive Plan
The Planning Board met July 14 to hold public hearings on two items: the adoption of the 2026 Comprehensive Plan and a zoning code text amendment to Code §154.04(H)(3). The board was also scheduled to review minutes from its June 9, 2026 meeting.
The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range policy document that guides land use, development, and infrastructure decisions. The zoning code text amendment could change specific regulatory language in the city's zoning ordinance. Because minutes have not been published, the board's recommendations or decisions on either item are not yet part of the public record.
Board of Zoning Appeals considers two variance requests
The Board of Zoning Appeals met July 15 to consider three variance applications across two properties.
Gary Jackson seeks a variance to place an accessory structure in the side yard of 854 Stonehenge Drive, located in the R-1C zoning district.
Zachary Kessler seeks two variances for 132 South Second Street, in the R-2 district: one to exceed the allowed accessory-structure square footage, and another to encroach on the minimum garage/carport setback.
Variances allow property owners to deviate from standard zoning requirements when strict application would create a hardship. No vote tallies or decisions are available because minutes have not been published.
The board's agenda also included a training session on meeting basics, scheduled for July 22, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m.
Parks Advisory Board discusses disc golf tournament
The Parks Advisory Board met July 13 with an agenda that included approval of May 11, 2026 minutes and discussion of a disc golf tournament scheduled for City Park on September 13, 2026. The agenda also listed a public comment period for agenda items and set the board's next meeting for September 14, 2026.
No minutes have been published, so the board's actions on the minutes approval or any decisions regarding the tournament are not yet confirmed.
Coming up
No meetings are listed on the city calendar for the next 14 days. The Board of Zoning Appeals has a training session scheduled for July 22, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m. The Parks Advisory Board's next regular meeting is scheduled for September 14, 2026. Residents interested in the disc golf tournament at City Park should watch for further details as that September 13 date approaches.
