Written with the help of AI from the Dayton Board of Zoning Appeals agenda.
The applicant is asking for a conditional use to operate an administrative/professional office at 68 Watervliet Ave. The property is in the Mature Residential (MR-5) zoning district. A conditional use is a use the zoning code allows in a district only with the board’s approval.
The request also includes several variances, which are exceptions to specific zoning rules. They would allow parking in the front yard, remove the requirement for a drive aisle in the front, and allow a 0-foot setback from the alley. They would also reduce screening and landscaping along the northern and southern property lines and waive bike parking.
The agenda lists the property in the Belmont planning district, with the Southeast Land Use Board as its priority board. It shows no historic district. The Board of Zoning Appeals meets Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. in the Planning and Resource Room on the mezzanine level of City Hall, 101 W. Third St. The case is listed as PLN2026-00349.
