Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Reynoldsburg public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Child daycare proposal at 1792 Brice Road
A proposed 56-child daycare in the I Innovation district was tabled because the applicant lacks a site plan, and the proposed playground sits near truck delivery routes and a rear egress door. She'll return by November 19.
Summit Road Industrial CRA tax exemption
Council discussed — partly in executive session — a property tax exemption agreement with Summit Road Industrial LLC under the Community Reinvestment Area program, and advanced the ordinance for a first reading.
Mixed-use building on landlocked Old Reynoldsburg parcel
A 0.11-acre floodplain-constrained parcel at 7372 E. Main Street got all five variances plus design approval for a 2,000-square-foot building with office space and two studio apartments — one of the only true mixed-use buildings in the Old Reynoldsburg district.
Child daycare conditional use at 6328 E. Livingston Ave
A proposed daycare for 15 children was denied because the applicant never submitted a site plan showing the outdoor playground's location relative to the drive aisle and dumpsters. The space stays vacant and the applicant can reapply with a complete plan.
Development Director Departure
Reynoldsburg’s top development official, Andrew Bowsher, is leaving to become city manager of Sidney, so the city now has to replace the person leading its economic growth push. That means a leadership gap right as Reynoldsburg needs someone to keep development deals and business recruitment moving.
