Planning Commission - November 9, 2026

The Wadsworth Planning Commission meeting on November 9, 2026, approved the October 12 minutes and tabled the consolidation plat for 487 College Street until a future meeting. It approved revisions to the Creek Side Commons planned unit development phasing plan, dividing Phase 1 into 1A and 1B. This allows work to proceed on 93 buildable lots while five lots remain pending resolution of an apparently abandoned oil and gas well, including required plugging or capping under ODNR standards. The commission also approved, subject to staff conditions, building and site renovation plans for the medical office at 323 High Street, an Akron Children’s Hospital project; the plans include a small addition, exterior updates, and parking changes.

The commission scheduled a public hearing for November 23 on a proposal to rezone 119 Chestnut Street from R4 residential to C1 commercial; the commission will make a recommendation, with City Council making the final decision. It also adopted revised Planning Commission bylaws. No public procurement, contract award, vendor selection, or government spending allocation was identified.
