Council packet includes 5th reading of rezoning to create Shadow Creek PUD

Council Member Mike Reese is listed as the sponsor of Ordinance No. 26-036, a proposal to rezone Dual Jurisdiction Lots #10232-10235 to the Shadow Creek Planned Unit Development (PUD). The ordinance text in the April 21, 2026 packet states the rezoning would change the parcels from their current R-1 and LDR classifications to the Shadow Creek PUD designation and adds new zoning text to Chapter 154 of the city code.

The ordinance includes procedural history and an emergency clause. The printed record shows readings on 2-17-26 (first), 3-10-26 (second), 3-17-26 (third), and 4-7-26 (fourth) and presents the April 21 meeting as the fifth reading. The ordinance text states it "shall go into immediate effect provided that it receives a two thirds vote of all members of city council;" otherwise it would take effect at the earliest time permitted by law. The packet includes a certificate of publication dated in the ordinance language signed by Julie Darlington, Clerk of Council, indicating publication in the Medina Gazette and an online public notices site under Ohio Revised Code §731.21.

The ordinance text identifies the four subject parcels by parcel numbers (PPN 055-348-04-002, 055-348-17-001, 055-348-18-001 and 055-348-04-001). No recorded vote or motion outcome appears in the provided text; the ordinance page contains placeholders for vote tallies and an "Immediate Effect: yes no" checkbox that is not populated. The council packet therefore presents the rezoning as pending final action at the April 21 meeting rather than as a completed vote.

Next steps indicated by the packet are procedural: if council approves the emergency clause by a two-thirds vote the ordinance would take immediate effect; if not, the ordinance would take effect as allowed by statute. The packet does not include minutes or an audio record of public comment or council debate on the item.
