Pending Items That Affect Businesses

As of January 7, 2025

Lorain Road Resurfacing

Contracts for resurfacing Lorain Road from Sterns Road to Canterbury Road will be made in 2025. No time table is currently established for the work. The project may include bike paths, median strips and other innovations that are intended to make the street inviting to bicycle enthusiasts and to beautify the road. I do not know if water and/or sewer work is included. Business access problems will occur.

Ordinance 2024-62 - Passed

This ordinance creates a new zoning category called Planned Development. The new zoning district can be used for parcels currently zoned single residential and/or residential office. It would allow greater flexibility from current restrictions imposed by the current Code.

Ordinance 2024-94 - 1st reading, in committee

This ordinance will regulate food trucks. The primary purpose is to establish the days and the length of time a food truck can be on site and to better define what products a food truck may not sell. Council is taking a realistic approach to the on-site regulations as there are many different purposes for a food truck to be on a particular site.

Ordinance 2024-121 - 3rd reading

This ordinance authorizes the cooperation of the City with the County to resurface Dover Center Rd from Butternut Ridge Rd to Mill Rd. I do not know if the City wants to include sewer and/or water line work. Business access problems will occur.
