Rezoning for 127 homes near Austin focus of Miamisburg hearing

A plan to rezone about 42 acres of land for 127 new homes in Miamisburg is scheduled for a public hearing before city council this week.

The proposal by Inverness Homes - Courseview at Pipestone – involves land off Miamisburg Springboro Road near the Austin Boulevard/I-75 interchange that the city annexed last year from Miami Twp.

A public hearing is set for Tuesday night for the land abutting Pipestone Golf Club. Approval of the rezoning from agricultural to planned residential would still require a vote on a final development plan before homes can be built, according to the city.

The proposal is one of two in Miamisburg that – if approved – could bring more than 300 new homes to the city. The other – Deer Valley – calls for nearly 200 homes off Benner Road west of the Miamisburg Springboro Road intersection.

Miamisburg City Council has approved the rezoning for Deer Valley, which calls for 197 homes on about 86 acres. That rezoning is the focus of a petition drive to have voters decide on the issue this fall.

The city council meeting is set to start at 6 p.m. Tuesday in city council chambers in the Miamisburg Civic Center, 10 N. First St.
