Re: Resolution 63-25 Determining that the Consents to Expansion of the Bridge
Park New Community Authority Comply with the Requirements of the Ohio
Revised Code and Setting a Hearing Date
Summary
This Resolution is the first procedural step for the approval of an expansion of the Bridge Park New
Community Authority (NCA) and modification of the process for selecting developer Board members.
Property owners in the District including the City, COTA, Crawford Hoying Development Partners,
LLC, and development entities (LLCs) controlled by Crawford Hoying have provided written consent
to join the expanded NCA and have agreed to modify the procedures for appointing developer
members of the NCA Board. A copy of the signed consent has been included with the materials for
this agenda item for review by Council.
Background
The Bridge Park NCA is a strategic governance and financing model that drives urban redevelopment,
enhances community amenities, and creates a sustainable funding structure for future growth.
The Bridge Park New Community Authority (NCA) was established under Ohio Revised Code Chapter
349 to promote a well-planned, economically sound community in Dublin’s Bridge Park district. The
NCA has a primary purpose to oversee development of public infrastructure improvements and
community facilities within Bridge Park, ensuring an orderly and economically sound community.
The NCA is a form of public-private partnership tool to finance infrastructure and community
amenities from a dedicated revenue stream without increasing general taxes.
The Bridge Park NCA was established on March 19, 2015, via Ordinance 25-15 after a public hearing
and petition by Crawford Hoying Development Partners. The area established in the original NCA
Petition included Blocks A,B,C,D,F,G,H, and Z as detailed in the map included in Figure 1 below. The
request to expand the area of the NCA is the first such request since the original petition was
approved. If approved, all development blocks controlled by Crawford Hoying will be incorporated
in the expanded NCA area.

Determining the Sufficiency of the Consent to Expand the Bridge Park New Community Authority
November 12, 2025
Page 2 of 3
Figure 1
The New Community Authority is governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees with four members
appointed by Dublin City Council and three appointed by the developer. Pursuant to provision in the
related Revised Code the NCA has legal authority to acquire property, fund improvements, issue
debt, and collect community development charges within the District.
The NCA levies community development charges on certain types of businesses located with the
NCA District. The current established charges include a 0.5% fee on restaurant and retail receipts
and a 1% fee on hotel bills and assessed valuation-based charges on residential properties in the
District.
The revenue from the charges primarily fund debt service charges, programming, and long-term
maintenance of facilities located in the Bridge Park District. The NCA charges are remitted to the
County Auditor and distributed to the City for allocation to the corresponding developments within
the Bridge Park District. The estimated revenue from these charges is expected to total $3.1 million
in 2025.
Resolution to Determine Sufficiency of Consent to Expand the NCA
The written Consents add two development blocks to the NCA and allow for a modification of how
developer members are appointed to the NCA.
The J Block Development Agreement and Y Block Development Agreement provide, among other
things, for the expansion of the territory of the Authority (the “District”) to include J Block and Y
Block, as provided herein. All property owners including the Central Ohio Transit Authority, the City
of Dublin, Crawford Hoying Development Partners, LLC, and development entities (LLCs) under
control of Crawford Hoying have provided written consent for the addition of property to the District,
including the properties labeled as J Block and Y Block. A copy of the written consent signed by all
property owners has been included with the agenda item.
The City and Developer have identified certain discrepancies between the real property identified in
the Original Petition and the real property that has been developed within the District prior to the
creation date of the NCA. These discrepancies resulted from the replatting/creation of new parcels
and legal descriptions and land swaps among the City, the Developer, and its affiliates in connection

with the development of the District. All such properties were owned by the City, the Developer, or
entities under common control with the Developer at the time of the Original Petition. For avoidance
of doubt, the Developer will agree to amend the Original Petition to include all real property identified
on Exhibit E of the Written Consent and Amendment, including but not limited to newly-created
parcels described on Exhibit F of the that document, and the Developer confirms that it does not
object to the addition of the parcels to the District. A map of the expanded District is provided in
Figure 2 below and a full sized map has been included with the agenda item materials.
Figure 2
Section 6 of the Original Petition provides that the Developer shall appoint three developer members
(each, a “Developer Appointee”) to the Board of Trustees of the Authority (the “NCA Board”). Under
Section 9.1 of the J Block Development Agreement, the Developer agreed that the City may assign
the right to appoint one Developer Appointee to a third-party entity (the “Additional Developer”)
developing property within the Bridge Street District (the “Additional Development Site”). The
Developer hereby amends Section 6 of the Original Petition to provide that, upon the addition of the
Additional Development Site to the District, and written notification by the City to the Developer and
the Secretary of the NCA Board, the Developer shall have the right to appoint two Developer
Appointees, and the Additional Developer designated by the City shall have the right to appoint one
Developer Appointee.
Resolution 63-25, determining that the consents to expansion of the Bridge Park New Community
Authority comply with the requirements of the Ohio Revised Code and setting a hearing date has
been placed on the November 17, 2025 Council agenda for approval. The sufficiency Resolution
determines that the written consents provide by all property owners complies with Revised Code
349.03 and sets a date for a public hearing on the expansion of the NCA of December 8, 2025. If
Council approves the Resolution a hearing will be held at the December 8, 20025 meeting in
conjunction with the consideration of Ordinance 51-25 that approves the expansion and amends the
method of selecting developer members of the NCA Board of Directors per the Consents.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council adopt Resolution 63-25 at the introduction/public hearing on
November 17, 2025.
