Court administrator outlines timeline for juvenile justice center; planning commission hearing set for September
Summary
Nolan Martin, court administrator, asked the commission to consider options to avoid renewing an offsite lease for juvenile court as demolition and site work are scheduled; planning staff said the planning commission will review the special exception on Sept. 2 and the commission would likely take up approval after that, meaning demolition could proceed but temporary occupancy depends on final approvals.
Nolan Martin, the court administrator, told the committee that moving the Juvenile Justice Center project forward would avoid renewing a lease at 985 Broad Street that would cost roughly $250,000. He said demolition is scheduled to begin in August to keep the project timeline, but planning staff said the special exception required for the juvenile justice center will be considered by the planning commission on Sept. 2 and then by the commission on Sept. 8.
Legal and planning staff explained the special‑exception process must follow notice and normal procedures even when both parties are governmental entities; the committee received the update as information and no immediate approval was granted at the committee level. Staff said demolition permits may be issued and demolition could begin, but temporary occupancy or building permits for interior work will await the standard review and approvals after the planning commission and commission hearings.
