Planning staff said the change restores the PUD to the original intent that allowed grocery uses in that B-2 district. \"This is putting it back to the original approval,\" staff said during the hearing, and added that the text change applies to the parcel that contains the Urban Mineral Magic tenant space rather than automatically opening other nearby undeveloped parcels to grocery uses.

The applicant, Khadija Hamati of Urban Mineral Magic, told the commission the business seeks to expand retail offerings and that the PUD text fix would be the fastest administrative route rather than waiting for a separate code amendment. A nearby resident, Dimitris Agarades, asked whether the change would enable large grocery chains to develop adjacent undeveloped parcels; staff answered that the amendment applies only to the specific parcel and that adjacent properties are differently zoned and would require separate approvals.

Commissioners approved the amendment as presented and will forward a positive recommendation to city council.

Planning staff said the amendment adds a specific definition of a \"quiet generator,\" sets placement rules to keep generators away from residences and public-facing walkways, prohibits external amplified speakers or music, and establishes restricted hours when vending occurs near residential property. \"We think that these will make it easier for us to deal with the food trucks generally,\" planning staff said.

The change responds to a string of prior approvals and ad hoc permit conditions for food trucks and similar vendors; staff told the commission the amendment will codify common conditions so applicants and enforcement staff have consistent standards. The proposal also replaces the term \"food truck\" with the broader term \"mobile food vehicle\" to cover a wider range of mobile vending operations.

Commissioners asked how the rules would apply to occasional private events or vendors that visit a site only once; staff clarified the amendment is intended primarily for semi-permanent or regularly located operations that function like fixed-site vendors. \"If it's just the ice cream man coming through the neighborhood or somebody's got a party that pulls up into their driveway, this would not apply to that,\" planning staff said.

A motion to forward a positive recommendation to city council carried 7–0 (second by Vice Chair Papsidero). The amendment moves next to Hilliard City Council for final consideration.","The Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend a zoning-code amendment that defines a 'quiet generator' and sets placement, speaker and hour limits for mobile food vending operations; the change is intended to clarify permit conditions for semi-permanent vendors.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6242413,"Hilliard planning commission postpones decision on Lakeon Road outdoor storage after debate over asphalt millings and site maintenance",3077,194000,3271000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3247740-2696bcbfd275438ca1cfd0925bcdad87&start=194&end=3271","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3247740-2696bcbfd275438ca1cfd0925bcdad87/thumbnail_194000.jpg","/articles/6242413/Hilliard/Franklin-County/Ohio/Hilliard-planning-commission-postpones-decision-on-Lakeon-Road-outdoor-storage-after-debate-over-asphalt-millings-and-site-maintenance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6242413-d04e8a0fc6bd84393b3dd6ee4c0b38b9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183019&Signature=Kcfw4YRLByO~-nAJIEENjdxunU8XQW63pchp2YOl8jpNGSJHceBuJOVU82LTJco8YO1Durw3WvQlifjK5o1UDN7-wx-cbRmKt-h9amzfwuWia1oE1VTI32Fw041dexsT3VYV-RNYRKDJ5ac4T-yx1k9~EN53XK20u6z7v9ZzSaAIYS3laPEM6bVQuMQWspd6T3wzsPvqZRix1AyHKgqngfxPv-3ITC2wRMHZzV9wPYp5Lz6jL4NubF8QgD5Y6TjSBrvTKWtnHaLq6XwVnftAzg5vgeEEGMZdpuW91DBkxhykZbkssIUMUHar5i05usoFVV0q3DSsBm9vqD~IL9XpUw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","HILLIARD, Ohio — The Hilliard Planning and Zoning Commission on May 8 postponed consideration of PZ-24-91, a conditional-use application to allow outdoor storage on the LeBron Brown Campbell property at 373720 Lakeon Road, after a lengthy discussion over site maintenance, existing code-enforcement actions and whether asphalt millings are an acceptable finished surface.

Staff told commissioners it recommends disapproval, citing multiple unresolved property-maintenance citations and the applicant’s failure to complete a prior approval condition requiring a dust-free gravel finish. \"The staff recommendation for this is disapproval, based on the following reasons: that the proposed outdoor storage area is excessive, the driving surfaces of the overall site have not been adequately maintained over time, and the conditions of the previous conditional use have not been met,\" planning staff said.

The matter matters because if both planning and city council disapprove the application, outdoor storage on the site would be limited to no more than 10% of the property by right. The applicant requested approval for roughly 37% of the site to be used for outdoor storage; the site is about 18 acres, meaning the 10% allowance would equal roughly 1.8 acres.

During the public hearing, applicant representative Tom Hart said the engineering testing submitted with the application shows asphalt millings can perform adequately if they are installed and maintained correctly. \"The maintenance plan would allow the city to check, you know, as appropriate to see if the applicant is following the maintenance plan,\" Hart said, and he offered a written maintenance protocol and a mapped tenant-parking plan to be added as conditions of approval.

Commissioners and staff emphasized the long compliance history. Staff displayed photos showing ponding, inoperable vehicles and damaged fencing and said one property owner has been cited into mayor’s court since July for outstanding maintenance and zoning violations. Staff and several commissioners said those unresolved enforcement matters weighed heavily in the recommendation to disapprove the application as presented.

Commission discussion focused on three linked questions: whether asphalt millings are an acceptable finished surface in this context; whether a written maintenance schedule and enforcement mechanism would address staff concerns; and whether the commission should treat the matter as a fresh application or continue to consider the site’s prior conditional-use history. Commissioners asked for a clear, enforceable maintenance schedule and for delineated leased-truck parking stalls to prevent expansion of unapproved tenant parking.

Planning staff clarified the commission’s vote is advisory: the commission’s recommendation will go to Hilliard City Council, which can uphold, reverse or modify the commission’s recommendation. Staff also said gravel and asphalt millings are both treated as nonconforming surfaces under current engineering records; a newly paved, impervious surface would be standard for new work.

With those questions outstanding, Chair Schneck moved to postpone PZ-24-91 to the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on June 12, 2025; Commissioner Saunders seconded. The roll call recorded six votes in favor with one abstention (Commissioner Marsh), and the motion to postpone carried. The commission asked staff to review the applicant’s maintenance plan and return with recommended conditions before the June hearing.

The case will return to the commission’s June 12 agenda and — because conditional-use approvals are finalized by council — any final action will be forwarded to Hilliard City Council for decision.","The commission postponed a conditional-use decision for a Lakeon Road industrial property after staff urged disapproval over ongoing code-enforcement problems and the applicant offered a written maintenance and tenant-parking plan; the case is scheduled for June 12, 2025 and will go to city council.","actionData","errors"]
