Planning commission approves amended final plan for Dublin Scioto High School additions
Summary
The Dublin Planning & Zoning Commission approved an amended final development plan to add a two‑story academic wing and expand the cafeteria at Dublin Scioto High School, with conditions requiring stormwater coordination, temporary access removal and fire‑department review.
The Dublin Planning & Zoning Commission voted to approve an amended final development plan for Dublin Scioto High School that will add classroom space and expand its dining facilities to accommodate rising enrollment.
Todd Boyer of Fanning Howey Architects told the commission the project includes a two‑story academic wing to the north of the existing building and a cafeteria expansion. "In an effort to accommodate 600 additional students by August 2026, we are proposing a 2‑story, 56,000 square foot academic wing," Boyer said, and described a new indoor dining area plus covered outdoor dining. Megan Cyr of the Kleinjers Group described site logistics, including a temporary construction access curb cut to Hard Road intended to separate bus and student traffic during construction.
Staff recommended approval with conditions, noting the site is in a Planned Unit Development and that the proposal must meet the development text and technical standards. Planning staff asked the applicant to continue coordination with city engineering on stormwater management, to remove and restore the temporary construction access after work concludes, and to provide fire access in coordination with the Washington Township Fire Department.
Commissioners focused questions on parking calculations, stormwater basins, and safety measures. Staff said parking meets zoning calculations that in this case are driven by stadium/assembly capacity rather than the added classrooms. On stormwater, the applicant said the existing east and west detention basins are being accounted for in updated calculations and that new systems will meet current EPA water‑quality requirements. On security glazing, the district representative confirmed newer school buildings use a shatter‑resistant film: "We have a standing operating procedure... we have a film that's shatterproof," the district representative said.
The commission voted to approve the amended final development plan with the conditions recommended by staff. The approval was recorded by roll call; the motion passed with affirmative votes from the commissioners present. The applicant will proceed with the technical permitting steps required by the conditions.
