Council refers Sheetz rezoning at 24700 Chagrin Blvd to Planning & Zoning after mixed-use concerns
Summary
Council placed a rezoning request for 24700 Chagrin Blvd (proposed Sheetz convenience store) on first reading and referred it to the Planning & Zoning Commission after councilmembers urged consideration of a mixed-use alternative and requested Sheetz present market research.
Council voted to place a rezoning application for 24700 Chagrin Boulevard on first reading and referred the matter to the Planning & Zoning Commission, a routine procedural step that begins the formal review process.
Ms. DeLong moved the ordinance to rezone the parcel (PPN 742-25-010) from U-7A general office to U-9 Motor Service District and referred it to P&Z. Mr. Smarrigan, who addressed the council as the presenter for the item, said referral is the standard first step and that Planning & Zoning will make a recommendation after due process.
Several council members urged the applicant to consider a mixed-use development rather than another gas station. Ms. Schweickett said she’d prefer a mixed-use project and asked the developer to reengage; one council member raised traffic and redundancy concerns, noting existing gas stations in nearby intersections.
Council requested that, if the applicant proceeds, a Sheetz representative be asked to present market research and justification for the site. The council president confirmed a future public hearing before council and that the application will return after the Planning & Zoning Commission issues a recommendation.
No final rezoning decision was made; the referral begins the review and public-notice process.
