Grove City Council considered several land-use and development items and took votes on multiple measures during the meeting.

Key council actions and outcomes (summary):

- Rezoning for an urgent-care veterinary clinic (Ordinance C36-25): Council completed a second reading and public hearing and approved rezoning 30612–30614 Hoover Road from PSO (Professional Services/Offices) to C-2 (Retail Commercial) for an emergency veterinary urgent-care facility with hours to 10 p.m. The applicant said the clinic is not 24-hour and will not board animals.

- Rezoning/Postponements (Ordinance C37-25 and Ordinance C39-25): Council granted applicant requests to postpone the second reading and public hearing for a rezoning at 3472 Grant Avenue (postponed to Nov. 17) and for a special-use permit for a marijuana dispensary at 3989 Jackpot Road (second reading moved to Nov. 17).

- Preliminary development plan — Patrick Properties (Resolution CR44-25): Council approved a preliminary plan for a residential development south of Grove City Road and west of Demorest Road proposing 93 single-family homes and 50 paired patio homes on about 39.4 acres. Planning staff and the applicant said the plan exceeds required open space and includes trails, a two-acre central park, a one-acre southwest park, a pond and amenities such as a picnic shelter, tot lot and dog park. Councilmembers voiced traffic and density concerns and asked for traffic analysis as the project proceeds through annexation, rezoning and final development plan steps.

- Preliminary development plan — Green Oaks of Grove City (Resolution CR45-25): Council approved a preliminary development plan for a three-story, 120-unit assisted-living facility at the southeast corner of Big Run South and Holt Road. The applicant said the facility is low-acuity assisted living (no memory-care or nursing-home level services) and will include buffering and landscaping adjacent to single-family homes. Planning staff noted trip-generation estimates show modest peak traffic (primarily staff) and that fewer than 10% of residents are expected to drive.

- Temporary mural (Resolution CR46-25): Council amended a prior resolution to allow a temporary mural at 3500 Southwest Boulevard in celebration of America250Ohio and extended the compliance/removal deadline to Jan. 15, 2027, unless made compliant.

- Support for Jackson Township fire levy (Resolution CR47-25): Council adopted a resolution endorsing Jackson Township’s Issue 36 (a renewal levy tied to fire and EMS services) and urged Grove City residents who reside or work in the township to support it on the Nov. 4 ballot. Speakers and trustees emphasized service continuity for a growing area and noted the renewal would be collected on existing valuation (council discussion clarified it is a renewal, not a new tax rate increase).

Several items remain subject to future planning commission review, annexation or traffic studies; council members asked staff to continue public outreach and provide traffic and infrastructure analyses where requested.
