City staff and engineering said the steel‑frame building with a poured foundation will store seasonal airport equipment such as mowers and snow‑removal tools and will free hangar space for rentable use. The building will have four overhead garage doors, a proposed height of 22 feet (under the 60‑foot maximum in the I‑1 district), and sit well beyond the required 75‑foot buffer from nearby residential zoning; the structure sits about 33 feet from existing airport buildings, above the 25‑foot minimum.

Engineering said drainage will be routed to storm and sanitary with oil/water separators as needed; fire prevention reminded staff to obtain required permits. Airport representatives indicated construction would start immediately and be completed by the end of the year. Commissioners did not record a formal vote; the session served to provide feedback to airport staff for final permitting and construction steps.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Findlay City Planning Commission 4/17/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Planning commissioners reviewed Special Review SR02‑2025 for a new 4,992‑square‑foot cold storage building at Findlay Airport and offered nonbinding comments on setbacks, drainage and equipment storage; no formal vote was required.","taxTitle","Findlay City, Hancock County , Ohio","taxId",52832,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":44,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6269841,"Planning commission recommends conditional use for Runnings outdoor storage with fence condition",706,1111000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3040032-eadeb20e5043a9b6209ad625ba22b824&start=1111&end=1817","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3040032-eadeb20e5043a9b6209ad625ba22b824/thumbnail_1111000.jpg","/articles/6269841/Findlay-City/Hancock-County/Ohio/Planning-commission-recommends-conditional-use-for-Runnings-outdoor-storage-with-fence-condition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6269841-7412b11f5d0606442521a72e124b1320/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448402&Signature=j2PMNxnl7ympdXv6mxCgqJ6cIBzfX~ZjREXP7708zYeJF~rEgVtghk5xXnLEFs3GsSLjxxXIpVv9Ye7E7aeXTyT7GJSNBAi3Ye0cQSvV2V~XzKipyw-L5FtTaQVf6IGvp5R6GxMZIYoG-FYGXXY6lG5HjpsVID0LyJA-9RDFepXd2gEQyU01I5hq31gtAR-tkMWniWWfmn~v8Zy8pOnhXM-Pi2r9cf4ByeulTR48Yo8UD8F1hJBg6KWVlPV63pvtkLuJcfaMyG568X0GmotHiQDq7XFuhNxxmAzIGIssRMBsroN-FE4X6NYWF2OnqqW1shgL4xc7lwPL-YzTc~B3xA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Findlay City Planning Commission on April 17 recommended approval of conditional use CU‑10‑2025 to review and reauthorize outdoor storage at Runnings, 1800 Tiffin Avenue, with a condition on fencing material.

City staff said the site is located on the east side of the former Findlay Village Mall area and is zoned C‑2 General Commercial. After the introduction of new outlots and the arrival of a new Sheetz, the applicant submitted a revised outdoor storage plan that reorganizes seasonal and garden center materials, moves some display/storage to the north, and preserves an enclosed fenced area where seasonal materials are kept.

Staff asked that any new enclosure match the existing aluminum fence material used elsewhere on the property rather than a chain‑link fence; if the applicant prefers chain link near the property line, staff said a variance would be required because chain link is not permitted that close to the property line. Eldon Ibarra, speaking for the applicant, said the preference for an 8‑foot chain‑link fence is driven by height and theft prevention; he said Runnings submitted a variance request the morning of the meeting.

Fire prevention noted concerns about storage under overhangs and propane refilling areas, and engineering recommended attention to the propane fill station and seasonal storage. Commissioners emphasized screening and aesthetics and voted to approve the conditional use with the recommendation that the fence material be changed to match the existing aluminum screening if possible; aye votes recorded included Commissioner Klinger, Commissioner Martin, Commissioner Tremblay and Commissioner Schroeder.

The commission’s recommendation allows the applicant to pursue a variance if desired; the record shows the applicant is preparing a variance application to address the chain‑link fence request.","The commission recommended approval of CU‑10‑2025 allowing Runnings to reorganize outdoor storage at 1800 Tiffin Avenue but required the fencing material be changed to match existing aluminum screening or for the applicant to secure a variance for an 8‑foot chain‑link fence.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6269845,"Commission approves conditional use to legalize duplex at 710 Cherry Street",269,838000,1107000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3040032-eadeb20e5043a9b6209ad625ba22b824&start=838&end=1107","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3040032-eadeb20e5043a9b6209ad625ba22b824/thumbnail_838000.jpg","/articles/6269845/Findlay-City/Hancock-County/Ohio/Commission-approves-conditional-use-to-legalize-duplex-at-710-Cherry-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6269845-9b75fef3f0125449104c8e6a098afee6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448402&Signature=BUqiAqoscDus8OK0DjAXbf9k-9eAMUiOKAUOSaC0brMGCdP9D-S4xbxFmThGAGJCXGDTvprPXRBcPEJ2azRqB5BMzX5VOuYLf6WL6kMRJ4ZEAXACBNzhIPjicVyEKRRr-7Sr4W~WvVkjqJh6HAsKW8gE2wh-1r5rTfy86pJ0Auki7e9VY5xqVNkp7FO6CcJicjQH-7Xf20JRR-bW96CWbgVoBcXp3sfyEWsmb9ZMYnTS1Gyi1FaB7qgRfFEnV6GqqT6OoVpxnd9wuI5COBdn-L6bbiVvXGepWnG53QBUf3JbuJjM9uxCbh63CldEuC29mepPTHBTiRSGPDB6EZe7gg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Findlay City Planning Commission on April 17 voted to recommend approval of conditional use CU‑09‑2025 to allow a duplex at 710 Cherry Street.

City staff reported the house at 710 Cherry Street was built in 1930 and is listed on the auditor’s site as a 1.5‑story, 1,617‑square‑foot dwelling. The site was recently converted into a duplex without a permit after the previous owner’s illness and death; zoning inspector Eric Adkins notified the estate that the duplex lacked authorization. Jacob, CPC staff, said the property provides required off‑street parking via a rear parking pad and a three‑car garage accessed from an alley and that both units have separate exterior access.

Commissioners asked about upstairs unit size and a lack of hard‑surface connection from the west entry to required parking; staff said the walkway connection is not a zoning requirement. After discussion, the commission voted to approve the conditional use. Recorded aye votes included Commissioner Schroeder, Commissioner Klinger, Commissioner Martin and Commissioner Chambly.

The commission’s action regularizes the existing two‑unit occupancy through the conditional use permitting process; engineering and fire prevention registered no objections on the record.","The commission voted to recommend approval of conditional use CU‑09‑2025 to permit a duplex at 710 Cherry Street after staff said the house was converted without a permit and currently meets parking and size requirements.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6269848,"Commission backs parks zoning for Emery Adams Park parcels and R2 zoning for adjacent Barfell lot",326,495000,821000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3040032-eadeb20e5043a9b6209ad625ba22b824&start=495&end=821","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3040032-eadeb20e5043a9b6209ad625ba22b824/thumbnail_495000.jpg","/articles/6269848/Findlay-City/Hancock-County/Ohio/Commission-backs-parks-zoning-for-Emery-Adams-Park-parcels-and-R2-zoning-for-adjacent-Barfell-lot","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6269848-d40848e8af118486634ddd8ecb5b64d8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448402&Signature=nMlPDiyd3GUrQ50DXyxj2vjrvYZj8pgLtx7fdufKZj23a~eVJmjECF5hCKNShbxZRUVsQat5T0TBYICYgKqNLXIL5Vt-4CpLpg-njF9NW1dDUX8tCP4diixqL3g235HUN2jmFqP7mXLgE5oqo6UnN0blvXyZ9rskKgpWf4n84ZAB5GCzvNX3q3t31X0LYs4fTeufkR94XUUWafw0ajUq6AnGvDXEGflQUrh0IyQGgU6T68NH8KN~ubROxgiGhzwYK~jTYZ6CamM6Grw2dmf6GDiS0DfIJE-JJsNzO0IEO9TojhvGRV5rediiYeMJM7EACZl-ZP~EmMBjEWsGp6vuTw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Findlay City Planning Commission on April 17 recommended approval of zoning amendment ZA‑02‑2025 to establish initial zoning for multiple parcels near the east end of East Edgar Avenue adjacent to Eagle Creek.

City staff said the city‑owned parcels contain Emery Adams Park ballfields and associated parking; the staff recommended Parks & Open Space (PO) zoning so the park parcels share a single district. Brian Barfell’s parcel was described by staff as a single‑family lot with roughly 150 feet of frontage and a lot area of 26,963 square feet; staff said that size exceeds R2 minimum standards and recommended R2 zoning for that parcel.

Engineering and fire prevention offered no objections. Commissioners discussed how several city parcels are noncontiguous and are linked across right‑of‑way; staff clarified the map shows three distinct city parcels that functionally combine for park use. The commission voted to recommend approval as submitted. Recorded aye votes included Commissioner Chambly, Commissioner Schroeder, Commissioner Klinger and Commissioner Martin.

Staff recommendation and the commission’s action will accompany annexation filings for the properties; parcel numbers cited on the record for the city parcels were 30001008163, 330001009345 and 330001018295, and the Barfell parcel was listed as 330001002425.","The Planning Commission recommended approval of ZA‑02‑2025 to zone three City of Findlay parcels as Parks and Open Space for Emery Adams Park and to zone a private parcel owned by Brian Barfell as R2 medium‑lot residential upon annexation.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":102,"_47":115,"_49":116,"_51":117,"_53":118,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":119,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":120,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6269850,"Findlay planning commission recommends R2 zoning for 6434 County Road 18 upon annexation",206,289000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3040032-eadeb20e5043a9b6209ad625ba22b824&start=289&end=495","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3040032-eadeb20e5043a9b6209ad625ba22b824/thumbnail_289000.jpg","/articles/6269850/Findlay-City/Hancock-County/Ohio/Findlay-planning-commission-recommends-R2-zoning-for-6434-County-Road-18-upon-annexation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6269850-22563766779c2e80ded11202ebd55698/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448402&Signature=HKxLvfm5Q0YDAiK2pfHt6Cjr8mRu4gxsNrZl5dsnkE~svLZkBU~9EEer2fxSJatCAN76rSnk~eL1a-yr2BKs~0LWVQQ4mIdGz-bSvWjsO6knZ4wtS00~Kl6Xj380Nol5iW24m3nILSEGsIsl7s0yexHg3OSjcZS-Yz8oKSPTPnxekcWV9GCbzHMdbWWRl9mFGv68EqaZ53KJdvVgWte5rXwMb4~nHm~xJSBMGLz-btf9ZzUp9OgADv~XVh1N09GNtWA4wcj0vSKo3zjgiMHsE3pb4oD7pZyGYy8FLyV1lL4ddn9PeBXJXHHOVUceqOxc0vR1M7V483YTGdYCKe7C-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Findlay City Planning Commission on April 17 voted to recommend approval of zoning amendment ZA‑01‑2025 to establish R2 medium‑lot residential zoning at 6434 County Road 18 if the parcel is annexed into the city.

City staff told commissioners the house at 6434 County Road 18 was built in 1971 and has existed as a medium‑sized residential lot for more than 50 years. Jacob, CPC staff, said staff weighed existing land use and lot size and concluded R2 zoning was consistent with the site and surrounding neighborhood.

Philip Weaver, representing the property owners Philip and Deborah Weaver, told commissioners the owners sought city annexation because Marion Township’s zoning would prevent planned changes to the lot. Commissioners clarified the request covers only that single property and would not automatically change zoning for adjacent parcels in Marion Township.

Engineering and fire prevention staff registered no comment. After brief questions about annexation scope, the commission moved and seconded approval and recorded aye votes from Commissioner Rob Martin, Commissioner Tremblay, Commissioner Schroeder and Commissioner Klinger. The motion recommends R2 zoning to apply upon annexation into the City of Findlay.

Staff recommended approval based on existing residential use and lot size; the commission’s action transmits that recommendation to the next step in the annexation and zoning process.","The Findlay City Planning Commission voted April 17 to recommend R2 medium‑lot residential zoning for 6434 County Road 18 upon annexation after staff said the property has been a single‑family lot since 1971 and meets lot‑size standards.","actionData","errors"]
