Did The Summit County Planning Commission Recommend a “NO” Vote to Summit County Council?

On September 8, 2020, the Planning Commission deliberated on the request to amend the Development Agreement to allow additional land uses. Following a failed motion to forward a positive recommendation to allow the amended uses, with a list of concerns outlined for further Council consideration, the Commission voted 5-2 to forward a negative recommendation to the Council. In forwarding a negative recommendation, the Commission outlined concerns for Council consideration. These included:

• A completely new Development Agreement should be prepared.

• The mix/ratio of uses needed careful evaluation,

• Density should be described for the new uses,

• Net benefit of the proposed housing should be further studied,

• The traffic study should be independently reviewed,

• Other findings as provided on the record (see link below).
