North Ridgeville holds public hearing on three zoning ordinances; no public comment

North Ridgeville held a public hearing Monday, Dec. 15, 2025, on three proposed changes to the city’s zoning and subdivision regulations; no members of the public spoke and the hearing was adjourned.

The presiding officer opened the second public hearing of the evening and said the session was to allow public comment on proposed ordinances "1 10, 1 54, and 1 57." The clerk then read the ordinance summaries into the record. According to the clerk, Ordinance 2025‑110 would amend sections 12.66.02[?], 12.68.02, and 12.72.04 of the North Ridgeville zoning code to update use regulations for automobile service stations and gasoline stations. Ordinance 2025‑154 would suspend by‑right cluster subdivisions in the R‑1 residential district and amend chapters 12.50, 12.80, and 12.82 of the zoning code. Ordinance 2025‑157 would amend chapter 12.26, the design standards of the North Ridgeville subdivision regulations.

During roll call, the clerk read the roster and recorded attendance: Swank; Schaefer (excused); Evans; Winkle; Haywig; De Vries; Jacobs; and the Mayor. The presiding officer invited anyone in attendance to address the council from the podium, asking speakers to state their name and address for the record and noting a three‑minute time limit for remarks. No one came forward. The presiding officer recorded "Seeing none" and adjourned the hearing with no public testimony taken.

No motions, votes, or next steps were recorded in the transcript. The ordinances were presented to receive public comment; the record shows the hearing closed after no speakers came forward. If the council intends to move any of the ordinances forward, that action is not recorded in this hearing transcript and will appear in subsequent agenda items or meetings.
