Commission reviews Findlay Airport cold storage plan; offers comments but takes no vote
Summary
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.
The Planning Commission reviewed Special Review SR02‑2025 on April 17 for a proposed 4,992‑square‑foot cold storage building at the Findlay Airport, 1205 Lima Avenue, and provided comments to airport staff; no recommendation or vote was required because airport uses are processed as a special review.
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.
