Proposal

On April 8, 2024, the Department of City Planning and Engagement received an application for a Notwithstanding Ordinance (NWO) from The Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC) requesting zoning relief to construct an outdoor plaza located between W. 5^th Street and W. 6^th Street. The property in question is located in the Central Business District, directly east the Duke Energy Convention Center and directly west of the 8451 Building, on the site located where the previous Millenium Hotel once stood. The site is zoned DD – Downtown Development District and consists of property owned by the City of Cincinnati and Hamilton County.

The proposed development will be entitled, Elm Street Plaza, will consist of an outdoor plaza across the current Elm Street, utilizing the previous Millennium Hotel site to incorporate a mix of gathering space, a Pavilion with outdoor seating and public restrooms, a dog park, a lawn, fencing, landscaping and greenery, and new entrance spaces complimenting the to-be renovated Convention Center.
