Council clears PUD change for 865 East Kemper Road; canopy language struck pending second reading
Summary
The Springdale City Council on June 4 gave first reading to Ordinance No. 26 20 25 to modify the Century Business Park PUD to allow conversion of 865 East Kemper Road to an adult day-care facility proposed by Active Day Ohio.
The Springdale City Council on June 4 gave first reading to Ordinance No. 26 20 25, a major modification to the Century Business Park planned unit development (PUD) to permit conversion of the property at 865 East Kemper Road from commercial use to an adult day-care facility proposed by Active Day Ohio.
The ordinance text incorporates Planning Commission conditions and approvals, including staff, city engineer and city planner recommendations and a requirement that covenants be approved as necessary. The draft ordinance originally included Section 1(c) requiring “a canopy system approved for the site for drop off pickup” with installation no later than 12 months after issuance of the certificate of occupancy.
During discussion, Council Member Miss Sullivan Weiskopf and others raised concerns about the canopy language as written — notably that a canopy could obstruct vehicular flow in the parking lot or overhang a public drive. Miss Sullivan Weiskopf said the canopy “is going to be right in front of the entrance. And it is something that we might end up going back and revisiting on the final or speak to staff about to see exactly how that's going to work in that space.”
After deliberation the council moved to amend Ordinance No. 26 20 25 by striking Section 1(c) in its entirety. The proposed amendment was approved by council and the ordinance will be considered as amended on a future agenda; administration noted that striking or modifying the provision could change the voting threshold required for final approval and that final action would require a supermajority if the council adopts a different form than the Planning Commission’s recommendation.
A public hearing on the ordinance is scheduled at the council’s next meeting; council and staff indicated Planning Commission recommended approval at its May 13 meeting and that further site details, covenants and final staff sign-offs will be completed before final action.
