WHEREAS, on April 23, 2007, Council passed a resolution granting approval of the Special Use Applications filed by Oakwood Investment Group (“OIG”) and the Versant Group for a Planned Development of the 36+ acres encompassing Sugar Camp and the surrounding undeveloped land (the “Master Plan”); and
WHEREAS, that original Master Plan provided for the redevelopment of four major buildings in the NCR Sugar Camp campus, to be known as the Sugar Camp commercial development, and development of the surrounding undeveloped land as the Pointe Oakwood residential development; and
WHEREAS, the original Master Plan approved the former NCR gatehouse building for “delicatessen” use, but it has remained vacant and undeveloped since the original 2007 Master Plan approval; and
WHEREAS, in May 2021, Natalie Dunlevey, on behalf of National Processing Solutions, LLC, submitted Application 21-1 for an amendment to the Master Plan pertaining to the gatehouse building (10 Sugar Camp Circle), whereby the approved use of the building would be changed from “delicatessen” to “professional office/business,” a use that is already approved for other locations within the Sugar Camp commercial development; and
WHEREAS, a duly-noticed public hearing on this matter was held by the Planning Commission on June 2, 2021, and having carefully considered the matter, the Planning Commission determined that the proposed site plan is consistent with the recommendations set forth in the 2004 NCR Sugar Camp Subarea Plan Site Development Alternatives and Guidelines, the 2004 Comprehensive Plan, and the 1997 Subarea Plan, as well as the special use standards set forth in Section 1004.6 of the Zoning Code, and by a vote of 4-0 with one (1) member excused absent, recommended approval of the proposed Master Plan amendment; and
WHEREAS, on July 19, 2021, Council held a duly-noticed public hearing upon the matter and finds that the Planning Commission’s recommendation is well-taken; and
WHEREAS, Council further finds that with the conditions set forth below, if any, the proposed Master Plan amendment remains consistent with the recommendations set forth in the 2004 NCR Sugar Camp Subarea Plan Site Development Alternatives and Guidelines, the 2004 Comprehensive Plan, and the 1997 Subarea Plan, and meets the standards for special uses set forth in Oakwood Zoning Ordinance Section 1004.6; and
WHEREAS, by a vote of 5-0, Council has voted to approve Application 21-1 with conditions set forth below, if any;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKWOOD, STATE OF OHIO, THAT:
The foregoing recitations are hereby adopted as Council’s findings of fact with regard to the Application 21-1 to amend the Master Plan for the Sugar Camp and Pointe Oakwood developments.
Application 21-1, being an application to amend the Master Plan by changing the approved use of the former NCR gatehouse building (10 Sugar Camp Circle) from “delicatessen” to “professional office/business,” as submitted by Natalie Dunlevey on behalf of National Processing Solutions, LLC, is hereby approved.
