Committee approves recommendation to rezone St. James property and to forward annexation resolution
Summary
The committee recommended rezoning 245 Saint James from R‑2 to R‑3 with covenants limiting occupancy to 12 temporary residents and added conditions, and forwarded a separate resolution agreeing to provide city services for a 0.558‑acre annexation petition under an emergency timeline.
The Zoning and Annexation Committee voted to send a rezoning ordinance to council recommending that 245 Saint James be rezoned from R‑2 to R‑3 to regularize an existing recovery facility.
City planning staff described deed restrictions and covenants the applicant agreed to, including a maximum occupancy of 12 temporary residents, 24‑hour paid on‑site supervision for institutional uses above specified thresholds, limits on vehicles and parking, and restrictions on off‑site services. Staff said bringing the property into an R‑3 district aligns its use with building‑ and fire‑code obligations that come into effect at higher occupancy levels.
The committee also reviewed a resolution to accept a petition to annex 0.558 acres into the city. Staff explained the emergency clause is used to meet Ohio Revised Code timelines for municipal action; the committee voted to send the resolution to council for action.
Both items will appear on a council agenda for formal consideration.
