Council approves PUD change to allow daycare and other uses at Heritage Club Drive site
Summary
Council approved a modification to the Heritage Lakes PUD to add permitted uses including daycare, broader office categories and commercial schools/studios for a 1.26‑acre property at 3617 Heritage Club Drive; planning commission recommended approval 6‑0.
HILLIARD, Ohio — The Hilliard City Council voted July 14 to modify the Heritage Lakes planned unit development to allow additional uses, including childcare, broader office types, and commercial schools or studios at 3617 Heritage Club Drive.
Resolution 25 R 59, which Council adopted by unanimous vote after a planning commission recommendation of 6‑0, updates the PUD text for the 1.26‑acre parcel. The property had been approved previously as a medical office building and was recently vacated; the applicant sought more flexible permitted uses to encourage re‑tenanting.
Planning staff described the change as broadening allowed uses to include daycare, any office type (medical, business, administrative or professional), and commercial schools or studios. The planning commission added a condition that any accessory outdoor playground area not be located in a vehicle use area; staff will require the play area to be placed in a green space area that does not interfere with parking or drive aisles.
Councilmember questions clarified that the site could be used for a single tenant daycare if the owner chose that option. Staff noted the property is not in the I‑270 corridor and that the use change does not implicate the higher-revenue strategic zone discussed elsewhere on the agenda.
The amendment takes effect at the earliest date allowable by law; the applicant will proceed to obtain any required permits and comply with conditions set by planning.
