The Administration adheres to the City Charter, allowing the proposal to move forward through the established due process, which includes consideration by the Planning and Design Commission, potentially other Commissions, and City Council. It is not within the Administration's legal authority to prevent development proposals from being submitted or from proceeding through the required review process. As a point of reference, this Ordinance has received substantial public interest and feedback at City Council meetings, Commission meetings, and the Public Hearing held on February 24th. Councilman Limpert also discussed that although residents had been frustrated with the process and pace, Ordinances must go through the required process and Council cannot officially act until it is formally before the Council. Following additional discussion, the motion to recommend Ordinance 2025-100 failed by a vote of 3-0. [correction 0-3] • Next on the agenda was Ordinance 2026-6, which provides for the amendment of the Zone Map of the City of North Olmsted by rezoning Permanent Parcel Number 236-17- 018 from a Mixed Use A District to General Business District D3. Please note this Ordinance was also part of the Public Hearing held on February 24th. This Ordinance would allow the proposed Culvers on Country Club Boulevard to have a drive-thru lane. The Mayor spoke about how rezoning this parcel brings the opportunity to begin revitalizing this area and the potential benefits to businesses, including the hotels, due to the construction of the new Cleveland Brown Stadium. Assistant Law Director O'Malley discussed a brief history of the existing zoning and the impact of zoning and economic environments. The Ordinance was recommended by the Planning and Design Commission with the condition that the rezoning occur only if the Culvers project proceeds. Councilman Scarl also indicated that the owners have expressed a very strong and enthusiastic desire to move forward with the project. Following additional discussion, the motion to recommend passed 3-0 with the condition that the rezoning occur if the Culvers project proceeds.
