Council approves pre‑annexation agreement for 4710 E. Johnstown Road; one abstention
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 0019‑2026 authorizing a pre‑annexation agreement with KC Real Property Investments LLC and Trivia Development LLC for parcel 170‑0000488‑00 (4710 E. Johnstown Rd); Councilmember Bowers abstained citing a conflict of interest.
The Gahanna City Council voted to adopt Ordinance 0019‑2026 authorizing the mayor to enter a pre‑annexation agreement with KC Real Property Investments LLC and Trivia Development LLC for parcel 170‑0000488‑00 at 4710 East Johnstown Road.
During discussion the mayor noted this is a step in a larger annexation and development process; the parcel is intended to serve as buffer space within the broader project. The motion to adopt the ordinance was moved by Miss Jones and seconded by Mr. Schnetzer. When the clerk called the roll, the votes recorded were: Jones — yes; Schnetzer — yes; Weaver — yes; Bowers — abstain (disclosed conflict of interest tied to Bowers’ employment relationship with the applicant’s law firm and advice from the Ohio Ethics Commission and the city attorney); McGregor — yes; Pedova — yes; Rener — yes. The ordinance passed with six yes votes and one abstention.
The council noted this is one procedural step among others required before any formal annexation occurs, and that additional steps and public notices will follow as the overall project advances.
