PC approves Deupree rezoning

In an update to a story I wrote on Friday, the Cincinnati Business Courier reports that the City Planning Commission has approved of the Episcopal Retirement Homes' rezoning request for its property at 3999 Erie Avenue in Oakley.

Episcopal plans to replace a vacant warehouse with two single-story cottages totalling 10,000 square feet on the 2.4-acre site.

Each cottage would house around 12 residents and would be staffed around the clock by up to 13 caregivers.

The property is currently zoned for manufacturing, which does not permit nursing homes.

The rezoning now must go to City Council for final approval.
