Commission clears 20-space parking addition at Cleveland Clinic rehab hospital
Summary
Beachwood P&Z granted preliminary and final site-plan approval for a 20-space asphalt parking-lot expansion and sidewalk improvements at 3025 Science Park Drive for Select Medical’s Cleveland Clinic Rehabilitation Hospital.
The Beachwood Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved preliminary and final site-plan approval April 30 for a parking-lot addition at 3025 Science Park Drive that will add 20 spaces, three light poles and sidewalk connections.
Bill Vasco, project manager with Verdantus and engineer of record, described the proposal as a new asphalt lot on the building’s north side with concrete curbs, sidewalk connections and a modular retaining wall at the southeast corner. “The parking lot will include concrete curbs and 3 additional light poles,” Vasco said.
City engineering staff (Mr. Cooney) said the plans meet engineering standards and recommended approval after several review discussions with the designer. Police, fire and building departments reported no issues. Planning staff (Mr. Smarrigan) confirmed the project meets U8A Office Building and Research District setback requirements.
Commissioners questioned the retaining wall and drainage; Vasco said the wall is intended to preserve the existing sidewalk grade and retain soil so the sidewalk remains level. The commission adopted Mr. Carr’s motion to approve both preliminary and final site development plans; roll-call votes were recorded in the affirmative.
The approval includes the retaining wall and sidewalk improvements as shown on the approved plans; final building permits and inspections remain subject to standard department reviews.
