Miami Twp. is moving to rezone 63.5 acres it owns on Austin Boulevard east of Austin Landing as it prepares to sell a small portion of that land to the Humane Society of Greater Dayton for a pet adoption center.

The change in the land’s classification would tighten restrictions on future development on the remaining property, across from Dayton-Wright Brother Airport and near the Miami Village residential neighborhood of about 200 homes, officials said.
