REGIOtMAL FaLAlOlNlll9G COMMISSION CUYAHOGA COUNTY, OHIO 416 THE ARCADE / CLEVELAND, ONIO 44114 / 216•861 •6805 CARL S. BOHM, DIRECTOR M E M 0 R A N D U M To: North Olmsted Planning Commission Date: September 22, 1981 From: Regional Planning Commission Re: Christ-the-King Community Staff Rezoning Request In June of 1980 the staff of the Regional Planning Commission completed a report to the City of North Olmsted, Ohio concerning the zoning of lands west of Barton Road adjacent to I-480. The portion of that report refer- ring to the "south area" encompasses the area of the Christ-the-King Community request. The major development concepts found in that report pertaining to the , south area are: l.) The eastern portion of the land having access off of Barton and proximity to the single-family homes on Barton "should be similar in use and intensiry tothe existing development." 2.) Development should be "buffered acoustically from I-480." 3.) The western portion of the site wi11 be difficult to develop residen- tially because of the depth of the land, the elevation of the freeway, and the proximity to the I-480 Lorain Road interchange. 4.) Consider access to the western portion of land (and any non-residen- tial uses) from Cook Road in Olmsted Township. 5.) The city should consider applying flexible zoning restrictions on this land (i.e., cluster development). The proposed religious-related community concept does not conform to the single-family "A" and limited industry zoning recommended in the June 1980 report. However, the proposal does incorporate many of the planning concepts recommended in that report. The proposed project does ,provide low density residential use on the eastern half of the site (now zoned single family). The proposed project does locate non-residential use along the western half of the.site with access to Cook Road (now zoned limited industry). Whi1e the previous master plans had proposed industrial use, it may be reasonable to consider an alternative use in that there appears to be little interest.for industrial use south of I-480 with access from Barton Road. In relation to the exis?ting zoning, the proposed uses on the limited industry and multifamil,y zoned areas seem to be generally consistent. The
