The public hearing was held to discuss Ordinance No. 95-1, an ordinance providing for the amendment of the Zone Map of the City of North Olmsted by changing the hereinafter described parcels of real property from General Retail Business and Single Family Residence B district to Senior Residence District. Mrs. Saringer stated that this ordinance had been recommended for approval by the Planning Commission and had been approved by all the proper committees. In addition, the contract for the sale of the land stipulates that this rezoning must be accomplished. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Bob Grace, 30406 Lorain Road, asked whether the rezoning would be placed before the electorate, how far to the east and west would the rezoning extend, and would the rezoning take effect immediately. Mr. Grace was told that the rezoning is not a ballot issue. As to the extent of the rezoning, Mr. Gareau said that to the west it inchided the Dancik's home but did not include Mr. Grace's home and the boundary to the east was St. Clarence's Church property. 'The rezoning will go into effect thirty days after the Mayor signs the legislation. Louann Balogh, 30246 Lorain Road, said she was opposed to the rezoning. In addition, she is opposed to the proposed senior housing project because she feels it will bring down the property values of the surrounding parcels, including her property. Ms. Balogh purchased her property because it was zoned General Retail and is concerned that it might be changed at some future time. Mr. Gareau commented that the comprehensive zoning plan actually encompassed changing the zoning of this area in order to eliminate the spread of commercialism on the west end of the city. ~, .
