I <br />INTRODUCTION <br />In 1965, construction of Interstate Route 271 gave <br />~ northeastern Cuyahoga County extensive accessibility. This <br />corridor of which Mayfield Village is a part has become a major <br />~; regional growth area. <br />Since 1970, some 325 housing units were built in Mayfield <br />Village. A strong upper value/rent housing market has evolved. <br />Today over half of the Village's 1,400 households have lived in <br />the community for at least ten years. Changes in the <br />population's age composition and type of households, in relation <br />to the limited amount of remaining land for home building, now <br />pose especially critical issues. <br />Business and industrial development in Mayfield Village has <br />expanded rapidly. With a current~$110.5 million tax base, it <br />ranks among Cuyahoga County's most prosperous communities. <br />However, the Village's limited amount of vacant land makes <br />questions concerning further business and industrial development <br />particularly crucial. <br />Facilities such as schools, parks and municipal buildings <br />' are essential in continuing to strengthen Mayfield Village's <br />residential and economic base. Mayfield High School, Center <br />Elementary, Parkview Golf Course and Cleveland Metropark <br />District's North Chagrin Reservation are key features. <br />Provision of other facilities will become increasingly important <br />in meeting the community's changing needs. <br />Mayfield Village's arterial and collector street system is <br />established. The local street pattern continues to unfold. <br />_ Thus, in addition to ongoing improvements to the existing <br />system, the provision of new local streets must still be <br />carefully considered. <br />RESPONSE TO CHANGE <br />It is apparent that Mayfield Village has dramatically <br />changed in the last 20 years. It will continue to change. <br />Planning is the key for addressing change. The Village's first <br />Comprehensive Plan was prepared in 1965. <br />The following report and maps update the 1965 Plan. Its <br />success will, of course, depend upon a wide range of financial <br />resources from individual investments by property owners for the <br />upkeep of their homes, to larger private and public ventures. <br />~' Money alone, however, is not enough. The Plan's ultimate <br />success will rest upon effective administration, <br />1 <br />I~ <br />
