Summary
The commission recommended City Council approve a 75‑lot plat for Courtyards at Harris Phase 1, including dedication of Hawthorne Parkway right-of-way and a city-owned open-space reserve for trail and waterways connectivity. The development plan and prior rezoning were previously approved.
The Grove City Planning Commission unanimously recommended City Council approve the Phase 1 plat for Courtyards at Harris, a subdivision that will create 75 residential lots and seven reserves across 26.619 acres.
Staff noted City Council previously approved rezoning for Harris Farms in 2023 and the development plan in 2024; the Phase 1 plat implements those approvals. The plat includes right-of-way dedication for the Hawthorne Parkway extension (from Boar Road toward London Groveport Road) and a reserve the city will own containing open space intended for regional trail connections and natural waterways.
Applicant representative Tyler Jackson of Kimberly Horn (address provided in the record) attended to answer questions; no members of the public spoke. Staff recommended the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to City Council, and commissioners voted unanimously in favor.
Next steps: the recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for final plat approval and recording; associated road dedications will be completed per the development plan.
