Council advances rezoning requests for Chagrin Boulevard redevelopment and Green Road item to public hearings
Summary
Council placed two rezoning matters on second reading and referred them to public hearings: a multi-acre proposal at 23250 Chagrin Boulevard for a roughly 180-unit multifamily development, and a Green Road property whose delinquent taxes were flagged in public comment but for which the packet included an applicant agreement to cover taxes pending staff verification.
During the Feb. 18 meeting council advanced two separate rezoning items to subsequent readings and public hearings.
Green Road parcel: Council moved to place an ordinance that would rezone a Green Road parcel from single-family residential to public and institutional on second reading and refer it to a public hearing. A resident (Howard Klein) said the Green Road property listed for rezoning showed approximately $12,000 in past-due property taxes with an additional payment due in two days and argued that rezoning should not proceed for tax-delinquent properties. The finance director said he was unaware of the issue but would investigate; council staff pointed to an agreement in the packet in which the rezoning applicant agreed to address the delinquent taxes, and staff said that the agreement would "perfect our interest" in tax payments and that they would do due diligence before final action.
Chagrin Boulevard site (23250): Counsel for the applicant, Catherine Weber of Mansur Gavin, LPA, and project consultants described plans for 23250 Chagrin Boulevard (a little over 3.5 acres) to be rezoned from U7A General Office Building District to U3C Planned Multifamily Residential District. The team said the proposal envisions three buildings totaling about 174,000 sq. ft., roughly 180 units, six stories and a height of about 75 feet, with amenities such as a pool, exercise facility, dog park and pickleball court, and expanded green space and trails. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended referral back to council and counsel indicated a full presentation will be made at the public hearing.
Both matters were placed on 2nd reading and set for public hearings; council and staff recorded no final zoning action at this meeting and emphasized the public hearing as the forum for detailed presentations and public input.
