I SHALL CALL A MEETING OF THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS PLANNING COMMISSION TO ORDER.SECRETARY, WILL YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL MR. JOHNSON.
MR. JOHNSON'S ABSENCE IS EXCUSED.
DOES ANYONE ELSE ON THE DIOCESE? NEXT IS CITIZEN'S COMMENTS.
THIS IS THE APPROPRIATE TIME FOR ANY CITIZEN'S COMMENTS NOT PERTAINING TO ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.
IN HEARING NONE, WE'LL MOVE ON TO SWEARING OF WITNESSES.
I ANNOUNCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION, ANYONE WHO MAY WISH TO SPEAK OR GIVE TESTIMONY REGARDING THE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING NEEDS TO BE SWORN IN.
SO I ASK EVERYONE TO STAND, RAISE THEIR RIGHT HAND AND RESPOND.
TO THE FOLLOWING OATH, DO YOU HEREBY SWEAR OR AFFIRM A THREAT OF PERJURY TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP YOU GOD? I DO.
I ALSO ASK ANYONE THAT'S WISHING TO SPEAK TONIGHT WHEN THEY STEP TO THE PODIUM TO TO SPELL THEIR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND SIGN IN ON THE SIGN IN SHEET.
PROVIDED WE HAVE NO PENDING BUSINESS, OUR NEW UH, OUR FIRST ITEM ON THE NEW BUSINESS IS A MINOR CHANGE.
THE APPLICANT DAVID FRY, IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A MINOR CHANGE FOR SANCTUARY ADDITION OF LESS THAN 10% ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE, INTERIOR RENOVATION, NEW PARKING AREA AND DETENTION BASIN.
PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 4,400 POWELL ROAD, MC 26 DASH 25.
UH, SO TODAY WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING AT, UH, A MINOR CHANGE.
IT IS LOCATED AT 4 4 0 0 POWELL ROAD.
SO A LITTLE SUMMARY OF THIS APPLICATION IS THAT IT IS CURRENTLY PLANNED COMMERCIAL.
THE EXISTING LAND USE IS A CHURCH.
ADJACENT ZONING IS A MIX OF PLANNED COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL.
AND THE APPLICABLE CODES ARE CHAPTERS 1 1 7 1 AND 1176.
SO THE REQUEST IS A MINOR CHANGE TO THE APPROVED CURRENT PUD PLAN FOR THE SANCTUARY EDITION.
AND THIS ADDITION IS UNDER AN ADD, UH, UNDER 10% OF THE CURRENT SQUARE FOOTAGE.
IT IS GOING TO BE A MAINLY INTERIOR RENOVATION WITH A NEW PARKING AREA AND A DETENTION BASIN.
THIS SITE IS RELATIVELY FLAT WITH ONE EXISTING BUILDING, UM, AND DETENTION POND IS PROPOSED ON THE SOUTHWEST SIDE TO, UH, CONTROL ANY, UM, FUTURE FLOOD ISSUES THAT COULD ARISE WITH A NEW PARKING LOT.
UM, AND 44 NEW PARKING SPACES WILL BE ADDED TO THE SOUTH.
THERE ARE NO SETBACKS CURRENTLY AFFECTED.
THEY HAVE ALSO ADDED A COUPLE OF, UM, PARKING ISLANDS TO KIND OF MITIGATE THE CONTROL OF FLOW OF TRAFFIC.
SO THE CHURCH IS CLASSIFIED AS A SPECIAL USE UNDER PLANNED COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.
UH, THE PROPOSED PARKING EXPANSION DOES MEET MINIMUM OFF STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
AN ONSITE DETENTION BASIN DOES ADDRESS ANY FEARS OF STORE AND WATER RUNOFF IMPACTS ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES.
UH, AN EXISTING NORTH BOUNDARY SIDEWALK WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE SANCTUARY ADDITION TO, UM, EXPAND ON AND A NEW SIDEWALK ON THE SOUTH BOUNDARY WILL MAINTAIN THE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY.
UH, NEW INTERIOR LANDSCAPE ISLANDS WILL IMPROVE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION AND NO MATURE VEGETATION WILL BE REMOVED OR, UM, ALTERED THE NEW ADDITION WILL MATCH UH, THE EXISTINGS CURRENT BUILDING MATERIALS AND THE ADDITIONAL PARKING DOES MEET ALL CODE REQUIREMENTS.
UM, FIRE JUST HAD ONE COMMENT AND SAID ACCESS ROADS MUST MEET SIZE, SURFACE STRENGTH AND SIGNAGE STANDARDS FOR EMERGENCY ACCESS.
AND THE A CITY ENGINEER REVIEWED THE STORM WATER PLAN WITH NO ADDITIONAL COMMENTS.
SO STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE THE MINOR CHANGE AS CURRENTLY SUBMITTED.
UM, PLANNING COMMISSION CAN EITHER RECOMMEND APPROVAL, RECOMMEND DENIAL, OR TABLE THE APPLICATION.
ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? THANK YOU.

IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A RELA FOR FUTURE HOTEL DEVELOPMENT ON A PROPOSED 2.8 ACRE LOT.
PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 56 11 MERRILY WAY RP 26 26 MS. HAYES.
ALRIGHT, SO THIS IS, UM, SIMPLY A REPL.
UM, THE GOAL IS TO SPLIT THE CURRENT PROPERTY INTO TWO SEPARATE PARCELS.
UM, IT IS CURRENTLY, UH, ZONED PLANNED COMMERCIAL AND THE EXISTING LAND USE IS CONSIDERED RETAIL.
UH, THE ADJACENT ZONING IS PLANNED COMMERCIAL ON ALL SIDES AND APPLICABLE CODE IS 1 1 0 7 3 PLA UH, THREE PLAT THE LOT TO CREATE A NEW 2.8 ACRE PARCEL FOR A POTENTIAL HOTEL DEVELOPMENT ADJACENT TO THE, THE EXISTING PAR UH, RESTAURANT.
AND THE SITE CONTAINS THE EXISTING TEXAS ROADHOUSE RE RESTAURANT ON FLAT TERRAIN.
NO MAJOR GRADING CHANGES ARE PROPOSED.
BOTH THE EXISTING RESTAURANT AND THE POTENTIAL HOTEL ARE PERMITTED USES WITHIN THE PLANNED COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.
THE TWO RESULTING PARCELS DO MEET ALL APPLICABLE ZONING REGULATIONS AND UTILITIES REMAIN UNDERGROUND SET SETBACKS UNAFFECTED AND THE LOT CONFIGURATION MEETS SIZE AND FRONTAGE REQUIREMENTS.
