Mentor City Council approves final development plan for Uptown Mentor mixed-use project
Summary
Council approved ordinance 25-0-096, adopting the planning commission's recommendation and approving the final site development plan and architectural review for the Uptown Mentor mixed-use project, a four-story building with 45 apartments and ground-floor commercial space.
Mentor — The Mentor City Council voted Nov. 18 to approve the final development plan and architectural review for the Uptown Mentor project, clearing the way for a four-story mixed-use building in the Old Village.
Staff and the applicant described the project as a four‑story mixed‑use building by Uptown Mentor LLC with two commercial tenant spaces on the ground floor, amenity and lobby space including office and fitness rooms on the central floor area, and 45 apartments on the upper three floors. Staff recorded the total above‑grade building area as 56,208 square feet and noted a proposed lower‑level garage. Planning staff said the planning commission reviewed the final plan on Nov. 6 and recommended approval by a 7‑0 vote; the staff report conditions were incorporated in that recommendation.
A city attorney/legal staff member confirmed the final plan complies with the terms of the city's second‑amendment development agreement and noted the review did not involve detailed site‑development items such as exact parking layouts. Council suspended the rules to consider the ordinance and approved ordinance number 25-0-096 by roll‑call vote.
The project was described at the meeting using the figures above; the transcript includes an unclear figure describing the lower‑level garage area (garbled in the record); council did not read a separate, exact engineering measurement into the public record during the presentation.
