The city has had a “significant increase” in group home applications, which has impacted various neighborhoods, organizations, and citizens in the city, according to city council records.
City leaders and the planning commission will use the temporary moratorium to review siting and standards for group homes in Trotwood.
These are homes for children who have been removed from their homes and are currently in the state’s care.
