Community Planning

An essential role of the Community Development Department is to work with residents, business owners, and anyone who cares about Miami Township, to think about what we want our community to be in the future and what it will take to get there. The Community Development Department works on planning efforts at many different scales, sorted into categories on this page: Comprehensive Plans, Subject Plans, and Area Plans.

Comprehensive Plan

The Plan - Color Logo Opens in new window

The Plan is the new comprehensive plan adopted by the Board of Trustees on March 15, 2022. The Plan acts as a guidebook for the future of Miami Township by outlining goals, initiatives, and land use recommendations that will guide development and future land use decisions. The initiation of many Subject Plans and Area Plans are recommended by The Plan. The Plan is designed to be an active document that will be amended as community conditions change.

Subject Plans

Subject Plans are plans that address a topic that affects all or much of Miami Township, but have a narrow scope of focus, unlike the comprehensive plan. Previous Subject Plans, as well as some plans that are in progress, can be found in the carousel below.

The Bicycle Friendly Community Action Plan was a joint planning effort between Miami Township and Miamisburg that was adopted in 2009.

Area Plans

Area Plans are plans that are focused on specific boundaries within the township. While the implications of implementing the plan will have widespread effects on the community, the target of the study is usually set to a defined area within the township or region.
