City staff told the council an applicant seeks rezoning of 0.741 acres at 109 Railroad Street for a religious facility and two variances; no members of the public signed up and the council closed the hearing. Staff flagged life-safety and historic-district reviews and noted potential action on Sept. 3.

City planning staff summarized an application to rezone about 0.741 acres at 109 Railroad Street from light industrial to central business district, request a conditional use permit to operate a religious facility and seek two variances tied to setbacks and outdoor activity rules.

"The applicant, Miss Dana Coxmall, is seeking to rezone the property located at 109 Railroad Street," a planning staff member reported, noting the property sits in Ward 2 and Canton's historic district. Staff said the only proposed alterations are interior and that any future exterior work would require a certificate of appropriateness from the historic preservation commission.

Staff also told the council the city's fire marshal requires a full life-safety review if occupancy changes. The mayor opened and then closed the public hearing after noting that no one had signed up to speak. Staff said the council could expect possible action on Sept. 3.
