M.H. Hausman Company proposed a master-planned development on approximately 94.2 acres in the southeast quadrant of Struble Road and Colerain Avenue, bounded by I-275 to the south. The application proposed 533,175 square feet of retail development and 593,000 square feet of office and warehouse development. The project was first known as M.H. Hausman Commerce Park and later developed as Colerain Towne Centre.

Regional Planning recommended denial because retail north of I-275 conflicted with land-use plans. Rural Zoning recommended approval with conditions, and the Board approved Resolution No. 815. Conditions governed final-plan review, buffers, access, traffic, lighting, landscaping, signage, right-of-way, and emergency access. Later records cover the main center, Burger King, Wendy's, First National Bank, Thriftway/Provident Bank, Phase 1-E, and Wal-Mart through 2019

SuperAmerica, Inc. submitted a Phase 2A final development plan for an approximately 1.53-acre outparcel on the east side of Colerain Avenue within Colerain Towne Centre. The proposal included a convenience store with ten fueling positions, parking, landscaping, lighting, signage, and access from the internal service road and the future roadway opposite Raeann Drive.

Requested modifications reduced the parking setback from 50 feet to 20 feet and allowed a ground sign of up to 60 square feet. Staff found the plan consistent with Resolution No. 815 and the preliminary development plan. Updated traffic review projected 176 evening-peak-hour trips and no long-term network harm, while noting some delay before the future signal and turn lanes. The Rural Zoning Commission approved the plan 5-0 on April 21, 1994. The file also includes a 2016 preliminary redevelopment reference plan.

Visconsi Development Corporation, on behalf of Commerce Park Associates, sought a major amendment to the Final Development Plan for the northern portion of former Case 8-88 Colerain. The amendment replaced an office and warehouse concept on approximately 29 acres with retail development, including an immediate 48,884-square-foot building and two future buildings.

The proposal reconfigured the site and added access to Struble Road. Review focused on circulation, traffic-signal and turn-lane improvements, drainage, utilities, landscaping, and coordination with the larger Colerain Towne Centre. The Zoning Commission recommended approval, and the Board of Trustees approved the amendment through Resolution No. 9-96. The file also contains the original 1989 development-plan sheets and preliminary materials for a later 2000 amendment.

Wal-Mart Stores sought approval to expand the existing store at 10240 Colerain Avenue within Colerain Towne Centre. The plan added a 4,556-square-foot seasonal-shop area, increasing the store from 114,557 to 119,113 square feet, and modified the garden center and parking layout. The request was filed on May 22, 1997 as a major amendment to prior Case 08-88.

Applicant records showed that the approved Phase I-A plan reserved 34,310 square feet of expansion capacity for Wal-Mart, so the Township reclassified the request as a minor amendment on June 23, 1997. Staff found the plan consistent with the prior development plan, Zoning Resolution, and Resolution No. 815 and recommended approval. Public Works, the Health District, and MSD raised no objection or deferred review to permitting. The file includes the approved five-sheet plan set and supporting intake and review records.

National Millwork proposed a 31,605-square-foot office and light-industrial building on the undeveloped industrial portion of the original 43.6-acre M.H. Hausman Commerce Park. The plan included 21 parking spaces, temporary access through the Walmart Colerain Towne Centre, a future 60-foot industrial road, use of the existing detention system, protected landscape buffers, and a metal-sided building with split-face veneer at the main entrance.

Staff found the light-industrial use consistent with the adopted land-use plan. The Zoning Commission approved the plan unanimously. The seven staff conditions required detailed landscaping and parking-lot plantings, later lighting and signage plans, a screened dumpster with restricted pickup hours, limited Struble Road access, retention of the 65-foot northern landscape buffer, compliant pavement treatment, and replacement of disturbed buffer areas. The Commission also prohibited outdoor storage and required the parcel to be split before permits were issued. Agency review separately addressed stormwater, earthwork, fire protection, sanitary-flow data, traffic analysis, and highway access.

Speedway SuperAmerica requested approval of an approximately 190-square-foot walk-in cooler addition on the northwest side of the existing convenience store at 10270 Colerain Avenue. The cooler was designed for interior access. One parking space was relocated to the southwest corner, and two redbud trees were added along the east side of the site. No additional parking, exterior lighting, or signage was proposed.

The Zoning Commission approved the amendment on July 20, 2004. The approval required the plan to remain in harmony with Resolution No. 815 and the original Case 8-88 approvals, comply with the Zoning Resolution in all other respects, and return to the Zoning Commission for any future final-plan modification. Agency reviews raised no objection to sanitary-sewer capacity, County Engineer requirements, or state-highway review; Public Works requested a completed storm-drainage application before its technical review.

The file also contains two approved 1994 plan sheets retained as historical site references and a 2018 affidavit for a separately proposed store expansion and replacement. Those materials are indexed separately and are not treated as components of the 2004 cooler approval.

Walmart proposed converting the existing 120,674-square-foot store at 10240 Colerain Avenue into an approximately 180,879-square-foot Supercenter through a 60,205-square-foot expansion and interior and exterior renovation. The expansion remained within the previously approved development area and absorbed part of the adjoining retail space, producing a net increase of approximately 38,103 square feet across the retail center. The applicant reported no increase in impervious area or decrease in open space.

The Zoning Commission approved the amendment on November 21, 2006 with nine staff conditions. The conditions required ODOT-approved traffic and signal changes before the store opened; prohibited signs in landscape islands and storage, display, or sales in parking and circulation areas; required compliant wall signage, future rear-property-line lighting, final landscaping, and general zoning compliance; and required later plan changes to return for amendment review. The file also documents 2007-2008 implementation, including sewer approvals and easements, the U.S. 27 right-turn lane, architectural revisions, and updated civil plans.

Tire Discounters proposed redeveloping the former bank out-lot at 10174 Colerain Avenue. The project replaced the vacant bank with an approximately 7,600-square-foot retail and automotive-service building containing eight service bays, 30 parking spaces, new landscaping, exterior lighting, wall and monument signs, and access through Colerain Towne Centre.

The approval limited wall signage to the north, west, and east elevations; required landscaping before occupancy and permanent irrigation; required compliant site lighting; and waived sidewalk construction in exchange for payment to the Township sidewalk fund.

The Regional Planning Commission and Zoning Commission recommended approval, and the Board of Trustees approved the revised final development plan through Resolution No. 62-12.

The 2006 Walmart Supercenter approval prohibited trailer storage and other outdoor storage in parking or circulation areas. In 2012, Walmart requested ten 20-foot trailers behind the store for holiday layaway inventory. On August 21, 2012, the Zoning Commission approved the trailers for the 2012-2013 season, required placement at the northeast exterior as directed by the Fire Department, limited the installation to September 1 through January 31, retained the 2006 conditions, and limited container height to eight feet.

In 2013, Walmart requested ten 40-foot containers and asked for continuing seasonal approval. On September 17, 2013, the Zoning Commission approved up to 12 trailers with a maximum length of 40 feet for the 2013 and 2014 holiday seasons. The trailers were limited to October 1 through January 30, could not impede circulation, and remained subject to Fire Department approval. The Commission declined permanent approval and required Walmart to reapply every two years. An August 25, 2014 Township letter confirmed that the approval covered the 2014 season and advised reapplication for 2015.

Walmart proposed repainting the store exterior and replacing six building signs with its current branding. The project also changed the face of Walmart's panel on the existing multi-tenant site sign without changing that sign's area. The existing Subway and Woodforest Bank tenant signs were retained.

The building-sign package decreased from 557.65 to 542.34 square feet. Although the proposed signs remained above the four-foot height standard, the application reduced the property's existing sign nonconformity. The Zoning Commission unanimously approved the modification without conditions on January 20, 2015, and the Township issued Zoning Certificate Z2015-00030 on February 24, 2015.

Dick's Sporting Goods proposed relocating within Colerain Towne Center from its existing space near Walmart to the approximately 43,907-square-foot former Hobby Lobby anchor space. The project included removal of the existing canopy, construction of a modern prototype facade, a new entrance feature approximately 42 feet high and 48 feet wide, decorative vertical elements, and refurbishment of the existing Dick's letter set with LED illumination.

The proposed 282-square-foot sign exceeded the 100-square-foot wall-sign cap, its eight-foot letters exceeded the four-foot height limit, and the vertical wall extension placed the sign above the surrounding roofline. The storefront also did not face a public street. Staff found the proposal consistent with other signs previously approved in the center and recommended approval. The Zoning Commission approved the amendment on February 16, 2016, and Zoning Certificate Z2016-0051 was issued on February 23. The file includes agency reviews, structural calculations, sealed and approved engineering drawings, correspondence, and site photographs.

AutoZone proposed a 6,786-square-foot retail auto-parts store on the last vacant out-lot in Colerain Towne Center. The 1.959-acre property fronts Colerain Avenue but sits substantially below the roadway and is reached from the shopping center's internal drive. The final development plan included the store, parking and access, civil improvements, landscaping, lighting, signage, and facade elevations.

On June 19, 2018, the Zoning Commission unanimously approved the plan subject to seven conditions addressing lighting, ground-sign landscaping, facade articulation, cornice treatment, freestanding and wall signs, plus two variances for rooftop-equipment screening and the street-front customer-entry requirement. In 2019, staff approved relocating four faux windows from the largely obscured Colerain Avenue elevation to the more active facade facing the shopping center. The file includes approval records, applications, staff analysis, surveys, civil and architectural drawings, and site photographs.

Speedway proposed demolishing its existing store and combining the Colerain Towne Center out-lot with approximately 1.5 acres from the adjoining Struble Road Business Park. The consolidated 3.03-acre site would contain a new 4,608-square-foot convenience store, eight automobile fueling stations, three commercial truck fueling lanes, parking, signs, landscaping, utilities, and access from Colerain Avenue and Generation Drive.

The major modification transferred the Speedway site into the Struble Road Business Park and approved the preliminary redevelopment plan. The final development plan conditions addressed right-of-way and sidewalk dedication, entrance design, directional signs, street trees, and monument-sign size and height. Variances addressed wall signs, facade offsets, off-site buffer landscaping, four fewer parking spaces, and limited higher light levels near driveways. The file includes both approvals, engineering drawings, photographs, and drainage calculations.

Muy Hamburgers applied for an administrative modification for a 2019 refresh and remodel of the existing Wendy's at 10152 Colerain Avenue, within Colerain Towne Centre Phase 1-C. The scope included recladding the existing metal fascia, a new architectural blade element, asphalt and other site work, updated exterior lighting, and interior floor, finish, and equipment improvements.

The submitted plan set also addressed tree preservation, landscaping, landscape specifications, and site photometrics. The file retains approved and record copies of the 1991 Phase 1-C Wendy's landscape plan as the prior governing reference. The administrative approval allowed the remodel to proceed while maintaining the site's relationship to the original planned-development approval.
