Planning Commission Meeting 09.09.2026

The City of Middletown Planning Commission considered a special-use permit on September 9, 2026, for Ohio Christian Academy to operate a kindergarten-through-12th-grade school at 4419 Nelson Road, in a church-owned building. The applicant said the school has operated since 2015, has 42 students enrolled for the current school year, and would seek another location rather than expand if it outgrew the facility. No procurement, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.

The commission moved to approve the permit subject to staff recommendations. Conditions included waiving the requirement for primary access from a major or minor arterial or collector street; compliance with applicable city occupancy, safety approvals, and inspections; and fencing and screening outdoor student play or exercise areas. The applicant said the school receives annual city health and fire inspections. The transcript does not provide a complete vote tally.
