Commissioners approve Union Village PUD stage 2 amendment to allow Chase Bank, impose conditions
Summary
Warren County commissioners approved a Stage 2 PUD amendment allowing a Chase Bank branch and drive‑up ATM at 3715 State Route 63 with conditions tied to access, landscaping and prior Kroger/Wawa approvals; the applicant was not present at the hearing.
The Warren County Board of Commissioners voted June 16 to approve a Stage 2 PUD amendment for Union Village Special District 3A to allow construction of a 3,333‑square‑foot Chase Bank with a drive‑up ATM at 3715 State Route 63.
Planner presentation and conditions: County planning staff summarized the application, noting the PUD overlay sizes (special district 3A is 8.77 acres; the parcel is 1.69 acres), a requested increase to 28 parking spaces (the base zoning allows 15), and a proposed connection to an existing private access drive. The staff report included standard conditions carried from a nearby Wawa approval, requirements on building materials and elevations, and a recommended condition (originally from the RPC executive committee) addressing responsibility and timing for converting an existing full access (access #2) into a right‑in/right‑out. Based on comments from ODOT, staff told the board ODOT later indicated no development agreement was required for the Chase Bank because it would use the existing Wawa access.
Applicant absence and public testimony: Staff and commissioners noted the applicant had been notified but was not present. No township or public witnesses appeared to oppose or support the amendment, and the board closed the hearing.
Board action: Commissioner Jones moved to approve the Union Village Special District 3A PUD Stage 2 preliminary site plan for Chase Bank with the conditions listed by staff, including the discussed access condition; the motion was seconded and approved in roll‑call votes.
Why it matters: The approval clears a specific lot within a larger PUD for bank development and ties the project to previously negotiated access and landscaping conditions for the larger development area. ODOT’s decision not to require a separate development agreement for access affected the board’s recommended conditions and clarified responsibility for future improvements.
Next steps: The approval was entered by roll call at the meeting; staff will track implementation of the conditions and any required permits.
