EXECUTIVE SESSION

. Under the authority of O.R.C. 121.22 (G) (4) Preparing for, conducting, or reviewing negotiations or bargaining sessions with public employees concerning their compensation or other terms and conditions of their employment. 

I didn’t watch the council meeting so I don’t know what “evidence of a mistake” Jeff presented. 

I have watched the June 2013 planning commission meeting—you know the one where Jeff spoke in highly favor of the proposal before the commission.  The one where Jeff specifically asked what uses would be permitted in I-1 citing examples which he was told would NOT be permitted.

I’ve also looked at the Zoning Map that shows the remaining trailer park as I-1(p), the small commercial center as I-1(p), and the vacant land fronting Germantown Road as I-1.

If you watch the planning commission meeting, you will see that the both parcels (commercial center and trailer park) were shown on the zoning map as I-1(p) with the p indicated planned development.

So according to the zoning map online, the commercial center land retains the I-1(p) zoning. 

What Jeff is wanting is C-2 zoning for the strip center and the vacant land he purchased.  Did he present “evidence” that any of these parcels previously had C-2 zoning?

Jeff can piss and moan all he wants.  He purchased the vacant property knowing full well the city’s intent to redevelop the land for light industry uses to support the area.
