Summary

The Circleville City Council voted to rezone two parcels on Lancaster Pike from Agricultural to Planned Unit Development to allow the proposed Wesley Commons development; council suspended rules and adopted the ordinance the same evening.

Circleville City Council on Tuesday adopted an ordinance that rezones two parcels on Lancaster Pike from Agricultural (AG) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow a project identified in the meeting as Wesley Commons.

Tom Klitschko, chair of the judicial committee, told council the ordinance changes only the zoning classification and that "there'll be additional ordinances put together, as we move forward." He said the two parcels total roughly 12.4 acres for the first parcel and about 42 acres for the second parcel.

Council voted to suspend rules and to pass the rezoning ordinance in the same meeting. The motion to suspend rules was made by Tom Klitschko and seconded by Audrey Lukaszak. A motion for passage was made by Klitschko and seconded by Jeff Hallinan. Roll-call votes recorded showed all members present voting in favor; the ordinance was assigned file number 4372025.

No site plan, specific unit counts, developer name beyond the project label "Wesley Commons," or timetable for construction were provided during the council discussion. The judicial committee previously held a public hearing on the proposal on April 1, and Klitschko said additional ordinances will follow to address details of the development.

Council did not outline conditions or required infrastructure upgrades in this ordinance; such details were not specified in the meeting record.
