Every project links to the city packet it came from.

A youth development and cultural community center project, including three buildings, recreational fields, and a stormwater pond, was recommended for approval. The development will be served by well and septic systems.

What happened

The Big Darby Accord Advisory Panel recommended approval of a rezoning application for 23.894 acres at 3740 Walker Road to permit a youth development and cultural community center. The project includes three buildings (two dwelling units for staff), three recreational fields, a stormwater pond, well, and septic systems.

Why it matters

This approval moves the project forward, indicating future construction for site preparation, foundations, utility installation (well, septic, stormwater), and vertical building construction. Landscaping will also be a significant scope item due to specific conditions.

Timing

This is a rezoning approval. Site development and construction plans will follow, with a three-year timeframe from rezoning approval to zoning compliance and construction. Bid documents for various trades would typically be prepared during this period.
