Topics getting the most attention in Hamilton public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Historic designation upheld at 577 Main Street
Council refused the owner's request to strip local historic protection from 577 Main Street, keeping the structure protected.
1255 Corwin Avenue property cleanup and use intensity
The owner wants auto repair, sales, and outdoor trailer storage on his I-1 industrial property. Commissioners want trailers moved to the rear, vehicles off the grass, and won't support auto sales — and want an updated site plan first.
Street parking impacts from the proposed Heaton Street tattoo studio
A disabled senior neighbor worried about losing ten street parking spaces near her home after receiving unofficial letters about moving her car. Staff offered to help her apply for a designated handicap parking spot.
Event center at 150 South Fair Avenue
The owner wants to carve a 1.06-acre lot out of the existing building so a retail tenant can fill vacant space. Because the lot line cuts through the building, the resulting lots don't meet normal B-2 zoning rules, so the commission had to sign off.
