Playhouse Square Chester Avenue Parking Lot

At a glance

Built from the official City Council minutes of April 6, May 11 and May 18, 2026. The newest minutes posted are May 18; every Council meeting after that has an agenda only, and no committee minutes are posted since April, so anything that happened after May 18 is not in this page.

• What: Ordinance 456-2026 would lease City property at 1301-1325 Chester Avenue to the Playhouse Square Foundation (or its designee) to operate a parking lot, and give the Foundation an option to buy it.
• Where it stands: Read and referred to administrative review on April 6, 2026. The minutes through May 18 show no further action.
• Next: Committee review and second reading; check later agendas.

Detail

• Lease term: not to exceed ten years. The Director of Community Development would sign an Option to Purchase Agreement, and the Commissioner of Purchases and Supplies would convey the property, which is declared no longer needed for public use.
• The attachment titles describe the site as the parking lot at Chester and East 13th.
