In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a proposed minor modification to the detailed plan development at 9000 West Chester Street, part of the Honey Creek Corporate Center. This modification seeks to add \"college\" as an additional permitted use within the existing zoning framework, which currently allows for various office and educational uses but does not include degree-granting institutions.

The Honey Creek Corporate Center was originally zoned as a general plan development in 1989, allowing for a range of uses tailored to the needs of a modern office park. The specific building in question was developed in 2002, with its design and use parameters established at that time. The proposed change aims to align with the West Side area plan, which encourages higher educational facilities in commercial corridors.

City staff conducted a thorough review of the proposal against established criteria for minor modifications, which include considerations of land use impacts, traffic, and overall character of the development. The review concluded that the addition of a college use would not significantly alter the existing framework or cause adverse impacts, as similar educational uses have operated in the building without issues in the past.

Despite the staff's recommendation for approval, the proposal has faced significant opposition, with numerous letters submitted to the plan commission expressing concerns. The committee is expected to weigh these concerns against the findings of the staff review as they move forward with the decision-making process.
