Developer asks North Royalton to postpone hearing on proposed 120‑unit assisted living facility

North Royalton — Vermilion Development asked the City Council to postpone the hearing on a conditional use permit for a proposed 120‑unit assisted living facility located at the northeast corner of W. 130th Street and Bennett Road.

A June 9, 2026 letter from Darrin Jolas of Vermilion Development, received in the Council Office June 10, requests postponement of the conditional use hearing scheduled for the June 16 meeting to "allow sufficient time for the applicant to hold a community meeting as discussed at the Plan Commission hearing." The letter says the developer remains "committed to making a meaningful investment in North Royalton through the development of quality senior housing and assisted living services," and that the project would create local jobs and contribute to the city's tax base.

At the meeting Council heard the introduction of Ordinance 26‑108, which would confirm a conditional use permit granted by the Planning Commission to Vermilion Ohio Acquisitions, LLC on behalf of NR4C Ventures, Ltd., for a 120‑unit assisted living facility on parcel PPN 484‑18‑024 in the Local Business (LB) district. The ordinance was placed on second reading and was not adopted. The record reflects the developer’s letter requesting a delay and a plan to schedule the community meeting during the week of June 22.

Next steps: the Planning Commission and city staff will track the applicant’s community meeting and the council will schedule further consideration of the conditional use ordinance after the meeting. No public comments were entered on record at the June 16 council session.
