Gibbons said staff is preparing an RFQ/RFP process to select consultants to assist with a full rewrite of the zoning code. Regarding the tobacco resale (tobacco shops) study and a separate review of regulations concerning dogs (breeding, fostering), staff indicated the tobacco item could return in March or April and the dogs study in June.

The director also said staff and the committee are meeting with neighborhood representatives about historic-building protections and noted that planned work on vacant-property inventories and corridor strategies will begin in the next six to seven months. Chair Martinez said he will host a forum on any proposed tobacco-shop code changes to gather input from businesses and public-health advocates before the committee votes.

Committee members asked for a consolidated list of outstanding studies and timelines; staff said the items under active work are self-storage, car-wash, tobacco, dogs and the historic-building moratorium refinements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Toledo - Zoning & Planning Committee on 2025-02-19 4:00 PM - Feb 19, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Planning Department staff briefed the committee on a set of forthcoming studies (self-storage, car wash, vacant commercial/industrial reviews), a moratorium on historic-building changes, a tobacco-shop study and a zoning-code rewrite procurement; some items will return in March and June.","taxTitle","Toledo, Lucas County, Ohio","taxId",2665,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6665653,"Committee reviews school-site study that would let staff request traffic reports and design tweaks; item kept in committee",381,1835000,2216000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2346850-cc5008756debe1642d2db0bffb7d0ba7&start=1835&end=2216","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2346850-cc5008756debe1642d2db0bffb7d0ba7/thumbnail_1835000.jpg","/articles/6665653/Toledo/Lucas-County/Ohio/Committee-reviews-school-site-study-that-would-let-staff-request-traffic-reports-and-design-tweaks-item-kept-in-committee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6665653-c685f35e4016dacce3359f0264181081/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183945&Signature=cUo9tqLM78DnOSg69bjc~NBGejGRPFJR~ItwUz9C7CmiqlBcUx63G1bVcOGRX-YdL3o0ErVCTniZP8TGjnMds4wOntv4NRBBZi4-n1-Fq5vtew0r0ZFIHdKEP5Lqo1D~aHDvGaJlMkwMaKmOMO-ja2c6AZopb0vp2uNbSnjZNGAJjxqdPRWCtTfuth1llHRaCsFIppL2BFG~HXlhnsyO9dHGYPz-L4ABebSw9LU5KnPHvBxNMi8EMS8C4uw72ldR28DzDEFikZZO9v4SAbzFwAt9Pwcnwm-MINvGXF6zkZfo3qSaQAC3yWZ6RBTthaDUPVluIzUinobchg-g1UkJEA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The committee reviewed a study and proposed text changes tied to Resolution 595-23 (case MD-12-23) that would formalize when the planning director may request traffic studies and site-design modifications for new or redeveloped schools.

Director Gibbons described prior school-related zoning work and said the proposed amendment is intended to give staff discretion—\"may request\"—to seek a traffic study to meet code requirements for safety and circulation and to ask for site-design modifications such as crosswalks, signage, lighting, fencing, landscape buffers and increased setbacks when warranted.

Council members discussed the balance between protecting children and allowing adaptive reuse of existing buildings, such as schools locating in former commercial or industrial buildings. Several members expressed a desire to study the proposal further before a vote; Councilman Komives asked not to vote immediately and asked that the amendment remain in committee for additional review.

Director Gibbons said staff would collaborate with the Division of Transportation on traffic and circulation measures and noted that the city has historically required careful review of school sites. The committee did not vote to adopt the text changes and agreed to keep the item in committee for further review.","The committee discussed a study and small text amendments related to schools that would allow the planning director to request traffic studies and site-design modifications for new or redeveloped schools; members asked for more time and kept the item in committee.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6665657,"Owner seeks special-use permit to reopen used-car lot on Secor Road; committee asks for district input",280,1572000,1852000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2346850-cc5008756debe1642d2db0bffb7d0ba7&start=1572&end=1852","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2346850-cc5008756debe1642d2db0bffb7d0ba7/thumbnail_1572000.jpg","/articles/6665657/Toledo/Lucas-County/Ohio/Owner-seeks-special-use-permit-to-reopen-used-car-lot-on-Secor-Road-committee-asks-for-district-input","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6665657-9418ad40fcf3f7fe3f51d6630a23f7fd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183945&Signature=WKU5PEyALSw1JDzNABYX6APyXJLnXdUyYpadTfTUkYI9iz3kujjBg~l~f4~R36ZVYQVarEHLf5SaiRg-oto8BrAYnol2plN7tRfrpiYXOMJw-g9Ym6wlxkERudDaWUcoY410Hke4mGSEJwdclJSRtSgZhXSpMJqcS9IhjnHiAffdd7SeKCEW-qoeuroo1E1IdGZC-jxkLKf9ui3oAsxY444q6a~JqHK~Ta3~Mu4aL5YkI26nKvdoWAefVD1dWL0BYbgwjkqT4bt97Dtr4ME-Sb5csyaRczpY3qwVBUK5WT3KG8f00DUlc3UhQg81mdXQX-EwFebNhc6GzBQZ7Sqd4g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Zubaydah Filah told the Toledo Zoning and Planning Committee on Feb. 19 she seeks a special-use permit to operate a used-auto sales lot at 5655 Secor Road (case SUP24-0005). The planning commission recommended approval subject to 27 conditions.

Filah said she agreed to the conditions and that the parcel had been used as a car lot previously. Director Gibbons said the applicant had met the planning commission's conditions and that the site has historically hosted similar uses. Filah noted an ice cream shop on site and suggested customers could visit both businesses.

Committee members said the parcel falls in the district represented by Councilman Melvin, who was not present. Chair Martinez said he would forward the case to the full council \"without recommendation\" until the district representative has a chance to comment. No public opposition spoke at the committee meeting.

The committee recorded that the plan commission had attached 27 conditions to its recommendation; committee members asked staff to ensure the conditions and previous approvals are clearly documented when the item is presented to the full council.","An applicant asked for a special-use permit to operate a used-car sales lot at 5655 Secor Road.

Greg Unger, who described himself as the engineer for the project, said the site is part of a larger plat and that the applicant seeks consistent CR zoning across two commercial lots to allow drive-through restaurants on the parcel. Unger said the proposal examined multiple options and that a regional-commercial designation would permit a drive-through use similar to the nearby Culver's.

Several councilmembers raised concerns about traffic and the effect of additional drive-through restaurants on adjacent senior housing. Councilwoman McPherson said the cluster of existing drive-throughs has the potential to create queuing that could interfere with access for seniors. \"When we get into drive thrus and that kind of thing on Executive Parkway, I'm a little concerned,\" she said.

Councilman Driscoll noted the planning staff recommended disapproval while the plan commission recommended approval; he said staff's analysis focused on a different zoning comparison and that the committee did not yet have a complete staff analysis for the exact CO-to-CR change. Director Gibbons told the committee that planning staff and the planning commission had discussed buffers, shared parking and landscape measures and that the applicants had proposed shared access so the lot would not add new curb cuts.

Staff told the committee a parking study is expected \"between May or June\" and that alternate parking arrangements and existing transit access could reduce parking requirements under the city code. Councilmembers discussed potential code revisions to parking minimums and said they hope the pending parking study will inform future decisions.

Because the plan commission supported the rezoning but several councilmembers asked for additional information and neighborhood considerations, Chair Martinez said the committee would send the item to the full council \"without recommendation.\" No formal committee vote on final approval occurred at the Feb. 19 meeting.","A proposal to rezone land along Executive Parkway from office to regional commercial advanced from the planning commission but was sent to the full council without recommendation after members expressed concerns about drive-throughs, parking and impacts on nearby senior housing.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_46":116,"_48":117,"_50":118,"_52":119,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":120,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":121,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6665665,"Committee pauses vote on South End duplex zoning change after residents request meeting",402,123000,525000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2346850-cc5008756debe1642d2db0bffb7d0ba7&start=123&end=525","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2346850-cc5008756debe1642d2db0bffb7d0ba7/thumbnail_123000.jpg","/articles/6665665/Toledo/Lucas-County/Ohio/Committee-pauses-vote-on-South-End-duplex-zoning-change-after-residents-request-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6665665-e5adadf83c6de2e035765f0188667092/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183945&Signature=Z~t2hAP~sLianVIhyH5XLa6~PIDaSMGmFNMiFrSh6Og-Iw9xcdaMWywaORYIo~SVe1iZGtVtbrICN9qufuGxSOogkF1Ow9UFozfMh4agVEqPH4ck9FAtClnMUdvn56JrrC~sTyppqG9u1WmiBQM320a-hnmnXUcvW-WqG0IEK9rdn4wmtACDLtulsEB0qEByPUwNmZkQYjkefNq241NXNCPRDXFSON-UnevJwZ~i96uP9JvYV5mBacvlRAye9ushl~cKQC5t9SEPGB1gaeFap8V5Ey23h5YtrIPx6HGSNL5zk1wXT4gglJtgSCIOszgYLvkpd0rp8~BlZhmBB~ohmQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Toledo Zoning and Planning Committee on Feb. 19 heard a request to change zoning from CR (Regional Commercial) to RD6 (Duplex Residential) for properties at 434 South Avenue and 439 Maumee Avenue but took no formal action, asking staff and the applicant to hold a community meeting before the item returns to committee.

The applicant, Michael Baddock, described plans for new construction on the two lots: \"modular housing about 7 just over 1,700 square feet, townhouse style with a 6/12 pitch roof,\" with three bedrooms, two full baths and accessible routes. He said the ground-floor bathroom and master bedroom would be ADA-compliant, and that the units would be sold directly to homeowners.

Committee members and neighborhood representatives said they support redevelopment but want local input before the council considers a recommendation. Delphine Amora, who identified herself as representing the South End, Coburn and Alameda area, said the neighborhood \"doesn't oppose it. We just wanna have some input in it,\" and asked that the developer work with the district councilmember to set a meeting.

Planning staff told the committee the plan commission recommended approval. Chair Martinez said the item would proceed \"without recommendation\" to the full council for now and that the parties should schedule the requested community meeting so the committee can take it up again at its next session.

The applicant stated affordability intentions for the development but provided inconsistent figures in his remarks; the precise affordability thresholds were not specified in the record. The applicant said one unit would be offered at an income-restricted level and another at a different income level, and that both units would be the same design. The committee asked the applicant and staff to clarify the income-targeting details at the follow-up meeting.

The committee did not vote on the rezoning at the Feb. 19 meeting; the case will be returned to committee after the applicant schedules the community meeting and staff prepares any additional materials.

The clerk recorded the case as Z24-0006 and noted the plan commission had recommended approval.","The Toledo Zoning and Planning Committee heard a request to rezone two parcels in the South End for a seven-unit townhouse-style development but deferred action to allow a neighborhood meeting and additional review.","actionData","errors"]
