Planning committee advances Stoney Creek plat, schedules public hearing on drive-through rules; OKs small business grant
Summary
Planning Committee approved a final plat and performance bond for Stoney Creek Estates Phase 5, scheduled a July 28 public hearing on an amendment to drive-through design standards, and discussed a $12,000 municipal economic development grant for Hoover Cation LLC tied to expected new jobs.
Planning, Community & Economic Development met and advanced several items.
The committee indicated it will ask council to adopt 20 26-R25, approving the final plat and performance bond for Stoney Creek Estates Phase 5; planning staff reported PZ recommended approval 5-0 and the performance bond is $844,590.53. Committee members noted this is the last phase of the backside of the development and described lot sizes as roughly one-third to one-half acre.
The committee also noted an ordinance amending planning code section 157.134 related to drive-through lanes and bypass lanes; the Planning Commission recommended approval but requested clarifying verbiage on single bypass lanes. A public hearing on the drive-through amendment is scheduled for Tuesday, July 28, 2026 at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers.
Separately, the committee reviewed a municipal economic development grant (20 26-24) with Hoover Cation LLC: the $12,000 grant covers a three-year, 50%-share arrangement based on income-tax collections associated with seven local jobs; the city retains a monitoring and clawback right if the business leaves before the monitoring period ends. The prospective tenant described plans to occupy five offices with an initial three attorneys and the potential to grow to 10 employees in the current space.
The items remain on second and third reading as noted and will be placed on the regular council agenda at the appropriate time.
