Council approves rezoning for Park Synagogue property at 3300 Mayfield Road to S‑2 mixed use
Summary
On fourth reading Cleveland Heights City Council adopted ordinance 245‑2024 to rezone 3300 Mayfield Road (Park Synagogue) to an S‑2 mixed‑use district. Council members voted unanimously in favor; subsequent steps identified include a development plan and design guidelines for any proposed project.
Cleveland Heights City Council on April 7 voted unanimously to amend the city's zoning map and rezone the Park Synagogue property at 3300 Mayfield Road from its existing classification to an S‑2 mixed‑use district.
The measure, ordinance 245‑2024, was taken on fourth reading and passed after brief remarks in support. Councilman Petras acknowledged neighbors' concerns but said "no project is perfect" and expressed support for the rezoning on balance. The council president emphasized that rezoning does not allow unfettered development and said future development proposals would be evaluated on their individual merits as development plans and agreements come forward.
Director Zamp told council the rezoning is the first step; subsequent approvals would include a development plan and design guidelines, followed by individual project approvals as warranted.
Roll call recorded the following votes: Cobb — Aye; Kuda — Aye; Maddox — Aye; Larson — Aye; Russell — Aye; Petras — Aye; Posh — Aye. The ordinance transmits the map amendment to the planning commission for any required follow‑up and establishes the S‑2 zoning designation for the parcel.
