Hearing held on rezone for 240 Northwest Road; applicant says no public opposition
Summary
Fairtrade Properties requested rezoning of 240 Northwest Road from general business to light industrial; the public hearing produced no opponents and the commission closed the hearing for consideration.
The Canton City Commission opened and closed a public hearing on a request from Fairtrade Properties to rezone 240 Northwest Road from general business to light industrial.
Kyle Waldner, a business partner and representative for Fairtrade Properties, told the commission his company manufactures pallets and crates and is exploring an expansion in the next year or two; he said the rezoning is intended to enable that expansion. Waldner identified himself and said the item was heard previously at the Planning and Zoning (PNZ) body and "there was no negative feedback from the public." He answered questions from commissioners about operations and access.
The commission asked whether there were any proponents or opponents; no members of the public rose in opposition during the hearing. After questions and brief discussion, the chair closed the public hearing. No formal rezoning vote is recorded in the hearing excerpt and the commission did not announce a final decision during the hearing segment in the transcript.
Staff noted a correction to the legal description of the property had been necessary; the corrected legal description was said to have been filed prior to the hearing. The record on file cited the request generally as a change from "general business" to "light industrial."
