Fort Mitchell City Council will hold a first reading Monday on whether to advance an ordinance treating Sundays the same as every other day for alcohol sales.

The Nov. 9 meeting at city hall, 2355 Dixie Highway, starts at 6:30 p.m., according to the city's meeting agenda. The agenda lists eight items under the city attorney's report, including five ordinances, a municipal order and two resolutions.

Ordinance 2026-15 would amend Chapter 111 of the city code to treat Sundays the same as all other days for alcohol sales. The ordinance is scheduled for a first reading, meaning council members would need to pass it at a future meeting before it takes effect.

Grandview Drive townhomes

The meeting's lone second reading is Ordinance 2026-14, which would approve the Kenton County Planning Commission's recommendation for a map amendment and revised concept development plan on Grandview Drive.

The planning commission voted 13-0 on Oct. 1 to recommend the change, according to draft meeting minutes. Commissioner Todd Berling recused himself because he is the applicant, representing Fort Summit LLC.

The proposal would rezone roughly 0.85 acres on the east side: 0.49 acres changing from Business Park to PUD and 0.36 acres already zoned PUD. It would add six rear-entry attached townhomes facing Grandview Drive to an existing residential development. Fischer Homes is the builder, and each three-bedroom unit with an optional fourth bedroom is estimated at $425,000 to $500,000, according to the planning commission minutes.

With the addition, the full PUD would total 54 dwelling units on 12.85 acres with 48 percent open space. Planning staff found the proposal consistent with the county's comprehensive plan.

City Administrator Edwin King wrote to the planning commission that the city has no objection. King's letter called the rezoning "consistent with the development pattern" and "a logical continuation" of the residential development already underway behind the parcel.

Other agenda items

Three other ordinances are set for first readings:

  • Ordinance 2026-17 would adopt a pay scale for a fire department schedule change. The agenda does not describe the nature of the schedule change.
  • Ordinance 2026-18 would amend the budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. The amendment's dollar amount and purpose are not listed on the agenda.
  • Ordinance 2026-16 would set council meeting dates for calendar year 2027.

Municipal Order 2026-11 would establish a fee for snow removal on private streets. The proposed fee amount is not listed on the agenda.

Council members will also consider Resolution 2026-09, a pledge to practice and promote civility, and Resolution 2026-10, authorizing a title resolution for Regal Way.

The meeting will include a recognition of the Beechwood volleyball team.

The next Fort Mitchell council meeting is scheduled for Dec. 7 at 6:30 p.m.
