COMMERCIAL POINT, OH — At its latest council meeting on Monday night, the Village of Commercial spoke on two proposed annexations along State Route 104, marking another step in the community’s ongoing expansion efforts. Both proposals received their first reading Monday night, alongside additional action on previously approved development projects.
First Reading: Two Annexations Along SR-104
The first annexation, outlined in Ordinance 2025-04, proposes bringing 10.163 acres of Scioto Township land into the village. The parcel sits directly in front of the Southern Point development, which currently lies outside village limits. If approved, the annexed land will be used for single-family residential housing, creating a potential bridge between Commercial Point and Southern Point.
The second annexation, detailed in Ordinance 2025-05, would add 6.738 acres from Scioto Township to Commercial Point. This land is located at the northeast corner of SR-104 and SR-762 and is being positioned for commercial development—specifically, a gas station is being proposed for the site.
Both annexations would require an amendment to the village’s zoning map to incorporate the newly added parcels.
Second Reading: Housing and Commercial Development
Also on the agenda was Ordinance 2025-03, which had its second reading and concerns the final plat approval for Foxfire Subdivision Phase 3, Part 3—a continuation of one of the village’s major residential developments.
In commercial growth news, council reviewed Resolution 16-2025, which grants site plan approval for Lot 12 in the Rickenbacker Exchange – Part 3. The application was submitted by Gen-Land, LLC on behalf of K-NOVA, further pushing forward business development in the area.
Developer Pushes for Support on Larger Annexation
During the meeting, a representative of a 344-acre annexation project along Gibson Road also addressed council. The developer requested the village’s support at an upcoming Pickaway County Commissioners meeting on July 15. At issue is a road service resolution passed by the Commercial Point last month but voted down by Scioto Township Trustees, a decision the developer hopes to see reconsidered in the Pickaway County Commissioners meeting on July 15, 2025. The Commissioners have final approval to move forward with this most talked about annexation.
As Commercial Point continues to experience growth pressure from both residential and commercial fronts, council members appear poised to consider further infrastructure and planning decisions in the months ahead.
