NEIGHBORHOOD UPDATES

Motion regarding Hyde Park Square development proposal

caption follows

We wanted to provide the community with an update following or November 12th meeting. After several months of public presentations, surveys, and meetings with our Zoning Committee, the developers asked the HPNC trustees to vote on their proposed concept plan.

In response, the HPNC trustees unanimously passed the following motion:

The Hyde Park Neighborhood Council (HPNC) supports redevelopment in Hyde Park Square. As discussed at our September monthly meeting, we are open to a development that is 50 feet tall at the perimeter/sidewalk, has upper floor setbacks similar to 3500 Michigan (“Michigan Terrace”; Lululemon), is no taller than 3500 Michigan, and improves the overall parking situation in Hyde Park Square. Unfortunately, the proposed Planned Development is 60 feet tall at the perimeter/sidewalk, has smaller setbacks than 3500 Michigan, is taller than 3500 Michigan, and appears to make the parking situation worse. As a result, HPNC opposes the proposed Planned Development. HPNC wishes for the existing CN-P zoning to remain in effect.

HPNC is committed to continued dialog with both the developers and the community about this project. We will provide updates to you as they become available in our monthly meetings and email communications.

In addition, we delivered the letter above to the appropriate members of City of Cincinnati leadership.
