Rich number two. Okay. And I had none myself. So no correspondence zoning in zoning inspector report. The first thing before we get to your report, do you know anything about the new manufacturing that's coming in? It was in the grape vine. Oh, um yes, I am aware of the company that is planning uh that they're negotiating um property off of Capital and Discovery Parkway. Um, they have a purchase agreement in place. Um, but it's I I don't believe it's public yet to name the company, but they are looking at acquiring a significant parcel back
there off of Discovery. They need to do some land subdividing first before they can own it outright. Um, but it'll be a good addition to Concord and we look forward to, you know, seeing their plans and their project. And how many employees? Um, I don't recall off the top of my head. I can look into that and let you guys know. I don't I didn't have that information with me this evening. Okay. Now, your inspector report. Oh, so just a quick um update on our May zoning um permit activity. We we processed 33 zoning permit applications this month. Um, the vast majority of the permits were for residential projects as usual, including nine fences, six new dwelling units, uh, six accessory buildings, four decks, three additions onto homes, three swimming pools, a pavilion, and one new business. The new business is actually a dance studio that's going that's called Next Step Dance Studio. They're going to be located over at the Concord Plaza. Um, kind of behind the building is their entrance, though. They don't really have a good storefront, but it's where Nylon Dance Studio used to be years ago. So, there's a young girl opening up a new dance studio. It's a new endeavor for her. So, that's kind of cool. Um, additionally, uh, staff completed 125 zoning permit inspections and we issued 46 certificate of compliances for projects that were completed. Um, you may have noticed or uh the BP on Auburn Road, the 7-Eleven gas station there, they closed as of late last week. Um, all the fuel's been removed from the site and they're no longer um operating. Um, I don't really have any information other than that at this time. So hopefully someone will look at that and decide maybe it's profitable to reopen a
gas station. Possibly could use a car wash. probably that was a joke. Yeah, we have a really nice one on terrible location for um then just a quick update on the BZA from the from May. The BCA did have two variance um applications in front of them. The one application was uh for a house over on Christopher Court. they wanted to put an addition onto the front of the home. Um, and so they were granted a variance to reduce the front building set back down to 42 feet rather than the 50. But the second variance, um, that they requested and got approved was to allow for the attached accessory building, in this case garage to be larger than the 1,024 ft that would have been permitted. And if you recall, that's one of the new um, regulations that just went into effect in December of 2024. Um it was the garage with the addition was going to be 1,152 square ft. So um not that much larger than than what the resolution stated. And it it was like a threecar garage, but what they had done is they had extra storage space at the back of it and they were trying to line up the front of the house to make the new front porch and the front of the garage all to be the same plane. Um so the board did approve that both of those variance requests. Uh the other variance application um we kind of see a lot of this was um a lot over on Chandler Court in Eagle Point, that newer subdivision over there. It was a corner lot and the property owner wanted to install a white privacy fence to enclose their rear yard. Um the resolution states that if you come um um into the front yard, so if you kind of project towards the side street with your fence, the fence can only be 4t
tall. So he wanted to come out 14 ft and then bring it down about 56 ft along the rightway. Um still out, well, it still was within the property line. Um and wanted to go with the sixoot fence so they could enclose a larger part of their backyard. in that variance was also approved. Approve everything. Good common sense approvals. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds like that's all I have for you tonight. Watch the meeting. Okay. Thank you very much. May I Mr. Chairman? Sure. Uh Heather, uh last meeting and I my recollection uh you mentioned the uh the trustees were scheduling a planning meeting uh of sorts as they going to engage a consultant. Oh, is that correct? Not a planning meeting quite yet. Um so we put out the RFP. The RFP is out. They did issue that. Um it's still active. The responses are due um June 10th. Okay. So once we receive those responses um we'll go through those and potentially schedule interviews um with any of the planning consultants that may have may have met the requirements for the project. Okay. So once the the once the consultant is retained there's there could be some engagement of this board. Yes. Yeah. I would definitely think that there would be opportunities okay for the board. I don't know if it would be it probably wouldn't be like at a zoning commission meeting, but we're going to work and figure out all the different public participation and make sure that everyone's involved. Okay, good. Thanks. Thank you. Okay, moving on. Public participation. Do we have anybody on the phone? No. Nobody in the audience. Okay, we have no public participation. New business. Anybody have any new business?
None, Mr. chairman. No, we had said last last month that we would like to take a look at signs. So, let's put that on the next go around after we get done with what we have here. Any problem with that? Um, well, and I know I believe Brady did send some information about the case that we referenced. Um, so hopefully maybe you guys have got a chance to read through it, but and I know I think Bry and I would probably want to take a little bit of time and look at what we have currently in the regulations and then come up with some suggestions and then bring that to you guys. So we could probably have that in a few months. May probably maybe not for next month. Okay. I don't think that we can do it that way. I'm not saying next month, but yes, that could be our next big item for sure. Yes. Okay, good story. I agree. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Old business. Here's our work session for tonight. We have nine amendments in our package. What I'd like to do is go through each one of them and then come back and take a vote on each one of them. So, let's go. I don't think Wait, let me let me think about that. Can we go amendment one? Vote on amendment one. Well, um we go through them. Yeah. So, Mr. Chairman, the the first we need um so if you recall at the last meeting, um we were trying to finalize the amendments and I think what we were planning on doing is these are the the kind of like the draft final versions of the amendments that we had been discussing over the last several months. And then if everyone is good with what we're kind what we what we have tonight um and if you're ready to kind of move forward, then we we would need a motion and a first and a second from the board to set a public hearing. And I would recommend
that we set it for our July 1st meeting at 7 p.m. That would be within the time frame that the Ohio Revised Code requires us to do. So we would not have to vote on them individually at this point. It would be if if after we discuss all of this, if everyone's comfortable and wants to move forward with the process, we would vote to set the public hearing for next month. Oh, so we don't have to vote on them tonight. It's a work session. This is still a work session. Okay. Yeah. All right. All right. That's even better. Okay. Do you want to walk us through each amendment, Heather? I can. Yes. So, um I don't know how detailed we want to go, but um so I did provide the packet here for you. Um there are I broke it down basically in nine different amendments just because it's nine different sections of the zoning resolution. Mhm. Um so if you recall section six, these were to revise under the general requirements um the 601B agricultural uses um and 602K the prohibited uses to cross reference the adult use cannabis operators. Mhm. And originally we were talking about um adding another cross reference to the electric vehicle charging station uh resolution that was adopted by the trustees previously. Um but after some discussion with council and the fire department um we knew that there were a few changes that need to be made in that resolution based on already trying to enforce it from the fire prevention side and the the better thought process was to add it to our zoning resolution. So you so what I proposed for you tonight that we haven't discussed really much is amendment number six. So, and that is um electric vehicle charging station. So,
if you want to flip to maybe that. So, you're going from one to instead of going down through it, you're going to go from one to six. You want to discuss six. I feel like that's the one we haven't really discussed. We haven't discussed it. Correct. Yeah. I mean, everything else we've kind of discussed and we're kind of at that just so I understand where you're going with this. So, and I agree with it. I think I agree with it. I think I where you're going with this is that the new one right six that we haven't discussed we we already know that we're going to put 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 on for the July. Is that what you're saying? No, nothing's set for next month. Yeah, all of this is up in the Yeah. Yeah, we don't we can Yeah, it's you guys can do whatever. So, you want to amendment number six? Yeah, we I can still go in order if you prefer. No, no, go ahead. Okay, follow along. Okay, I'm adaptable. Yeah. So, I kind of use the purple sheets to separate these. Great job on that, by the way. Thank you. Yes. Good for note takingaking, too. Yeah. Um, so this is very similar to what was in the uh resolution that that the trustees adopted. And um what we included in here was a a purpose statement, one new specific definition um that is really, you know, that's applicable to this section. Um and then some general and specific requirements. The the goal of this is to to um regulate electric vehicle charging stations that are going to be accessory uses in our commercial districts and then on properties that have nonresidential uses on a residential property. So like if the church decided that they wanted to put a EV charging station in their parking lot, these rules would apply. Um, if Gristill Village or uh any of the shopping centers on Cryle Road or any of those property owners wanted to add a EV charging station to their parking lot. Okay. These are the regulations that would apply, but not residential
chargers. Correct. Correct. We're not regulating any residential. Okay. Okay. And these are specifically the level two, three, and four chargers. So I I mean it has basic kind of requirements that any resolution would have. you know, where is it allowed? Um, specific requirements like locationational requirements. And these were all recommended really from the fire department and the white paper that a lot of the fire code officials put together when these started becoming more prevalent in Ohio. The it's my understanding the fire code and the building codes really don't address these in an adequate manner for what the fire department feels needs to be. Um, and from a zoning standpoint, we don't have anything on the books either. So, if we wanted to manage these um, with new properties or existing properties, these are the rules that we'd be looking at. So, locationational, making sure they're set back from the property lines. You can see in 1904A, we have the setback requirements there. Um, if you're going to and I mean, I don't want to necessarily read through all of this. I'm guess if you have questions about it, I'm happy to answer them, but it has, you know, setbacks, height restrictions, a lot of the same stuff you see in zoning. I do have a couple questions cuz I did read through. Okay. And I can try to answer. I don't want to jump you, Rich. No, no, take. You're probably going to ask what I'm going to ask. I bet I Well, I two things that jumped out at me. Okay. Okay. And I'm not I don't want We don't need to get too deep in the weeds, but but I've been a part of projects that have EV charging stations on them. Yeah. Okay. And um section 19.04 4 specific requirements G 1904 G right shall not be installed any parking structures that's my first question and and I and I there's two sides I mean I I kind of and then the and I shall not include overhead canopies
okay and I have questions about the overhead canopies not as much the parking structures because if fire if fire says no because of those reason that's one thing but I've been involved with two projects specifically specifically that are commercial fits right into our category. Okay. And they actually have um a almost like a car port that they pull under so that because if it is rainy, you still got to charge your car and they put them in a car port. And my only concern with not with with it shall not include overhead canopies is that you're limiting that from occurring. Mhm. And I person, like I said again, I've personally been a part of projects where they actually have them in a car port for that reason. So I So if it's raining, can you not charge them? You can when you pull to get gas, right? All gas stations have canopies over the top of them. Yeah. Right. But we're saying that these can't at all. And I think that that might be something. I want to know why. Yeah. I thought the same thing. I hate to put stuff on. I know. And my my best answer to that, maybe Bridey can chime in, would be that that was what was recommended by the fire department. Isn't that in our resolution right now? It's currently in our resolution that the trustees have already adopted. So they So we already have it. So it's a non-starter. No, no, it's not that it's not a non-starter. I mean, here we are. This is now going to be a zoning. If we're going to go with the zoning amendment, we certainly can, you know, make changes or But we need you probably would want to know the reasons for that. I would assume, but I mean, you know, they say about assumption that it's it's a safety issue. I assume, right? I mean, who knows how low the canopy would be, but I mean, like the tall tall ones at like the gas station, maybe that would be far off. I don't know, but I would assume it's a safety issue. I didn't want to interrupt John, but that that's the one I was questioning. But I was going to start with because of what Bry just said.
Why did the trustees not wait for us? Why did the trustees pass a resolution on something we haven't done yet? Why was the resol Why did they move forward without us proposing it? Was this in 2023 a couple years ago? I believe this was in 2023 before you were even our council. Yeah. And at the time at the time the fire department was talking to the trustees. they had very a lot of concerns about these coming into our community with no regulations and they wanted to get in front of it. Um and so they they kind of worked with me a little bit because I not really much but um because it does have some kind of zoning setback standards in here. So I kind of assisted them with the process, but they kind of really leaned into this with the trustees and got them to adopt what we currently have, which is very very similar to this one minor little, you know, a couple minor little tweaks. Um, but the the the issue was that there was supposed to be an update to the fire code or the building code to address these and it was supposed to be coming like around now, I believe, and they recently found out that it is not going to be in the next update. Um, and with okay the changes that they want to do, you know, after discussing this with our new law director and everything, the idea was to this would be better to put into the zoning resolution, which I think it is too because if you think about it, if somebody needs to deviate from the trustee re resolution, I don't even know how that really works. But if we have it in the zoning resolution, we already have a process in place. Um, if there's something they can't comply with, they could go to the BCA. Um, so I don't think they did it without your input necessarily. It was more to get in front of the, oh, there's a safety concern about these and we don't we don't have any regulations. We won't even know where they're going to be at or have any say in where they kind of go. And that's why the trustees were able to adopt that resolution. I think it's a little bit
more it's quicker. It's quicker to adopt a trustee resolution too than to go through a zoning text amendment. again. So the what we were going to do with if you guys are on board with this and this if this moves through with the process that you keep both in place and then when this would become effective they would resend or withdraw or whatever they need to do officially with the trustee resolution. But looking at other communities a lot of these are in the zoning text. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So they would have to go to BGA if they weren't put a canopy on it. Unless we change the regulation. Yes. Well, I think what John's saying, could we ask? There's a This is seems unusual. Seems really unusual. It does. I mean, there's there's charging stations. Seems unusual. There's charging station, parking garage. Parking garage everywhere. Everywhere. Structure everywhere. Parking garages. Yeah. They give them their designated spots now. That's true. you know, gets in the way. My windows. Um, so you could see like somebody at at a business, they would want to install the canopy and then put their charger under it. Sure. Yeah. Absolutely. Mhm. People get out, plug in, they don't want to stand out in the rain. So, yeah. Sure. Yeah. I mean, we're in Northeast Ohio. I mean, snow, rain, you know, we don't have people doing those now like in parking lots. So, the hospital If there's a parking structure constructed at the hospital, they have them in there all the time. Sure. Yeah. I have one of my several of my OEM customers I deal with in their parking lots, they put canopies over them already just for their employees. Yeah. Yeah. I just I mean it's a good question. I I don't have a solid answer on that, you know. Well, okay. So, can we do this if this if What's that? TZD TBD or if it is
a safety issue. All I want to know is why. Yeah. If you, you know, give me a reason. I mean, again, I'm not going to beat the heck out of this too much, but at the same token, you're going to have a developer or somebody or whomever have to go through a VZA to put up a canopy instead of just Right. Right. You're right. The only reason could be battery fire. That's the only reason. That's the only reason. I mean, but but would that really present a safety issue for the canopy? Well, depending on how high the canopy was or what it was made out of, if those batteries do get quite hot. Yeah, but they're going to hose it from the ground level anyway. Yeah, just as food for thought. I mean, I I think it's something I just want to know why. That's the only two I had an issue with or questions. Good ones. Well, I had one or two questions. Where's Where's the first one? First one is on 19 of page 19.1. Shall be inspected once a year under item C. By whom? Do we have an inspection? Fire department. Well, I don't know. Yeah. Proof of inspection shall be made available to the authority having jurisdiction. I would assume that would be the fire department. Right. [Applause] So, I just asked a question. Who's who's going to who's responsible for the inspection? The owner. Well, that could be inferred. Hire might agree. It could be inferred that they were saying, "Okay, now you contract it out and provide us with an inspection report as opposed to the fire department saying we're there something down there." Yeah. So, yeah, I think it's a
good question. Yeah. Just to just to define who's who's responsible for the inspection like your lawn sprinklers. Backflow. Yeah. Back flow. Same thing. So, that was number one. Well, I think so. What you need? You want that to be clarified? shall be respected once a year by the owner. Is it by then or by Well, I I mean, whoever I would say by license, it doesn't matter like by whom's insper to inspect it, but like they have to probably hire like an electrician or whoever it is to come in third party third party and then they own. Do we need to say that or? No. I think Hyram's question is he's presuming the fire department is doing these annual inspections or something. No, I'm assuming that the fire department is the authority having jurisdiction. Correct. And the question is, do they also perform the inspections? Well, your question I I didn't No, the fire department wouldn't be the one doing the way I read it because we're saying that the proof shall be made available to them if they request it. So as the property owner or the owner of whoever's in charge of the of the charger, it's their responsibility to get it inspected once a year. Parking lot or who inspects gas pumps? I don't auditor auditor. The auditor auditor. Well, the auditor for different Yeah. I mean inspecting it for what safety safety is fire. Yeah. So yeah. Okay. I can get clarification on that. Okay. And then next question I have is on 19.2 item PPA under 1904. At least one portable fire extinguisher rated for electrical fire shall be provided for e for any single or each group of EVCs.
A group to me means more than one per more than one or two or three or four or five, whatever. But you ought to have one for any single or each group of EVCS's. I'm sorry. What letter? Which one are you on? 1904. What? P P. So you're saying it's required no matter what if you have one or if you have one you still needed a Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. You still need a fire extinguisher. You're you're you're correct in that is not a group. There I would assume one's not a group, is it? I I don't know. What's that? So if you would put in shall be provided for any single or group of EVCs. And that's all that I had plus the canopy. But I had a Y on that one. Any other comments on section six? Uh minor one. Um Mr. Chairman, uh in section 1902, the definition it refers to public or private. It so I guess I guess I'm trying to understand the Oh, that's true. You're right. I can answer that. Yeah, this is why we were changing it, honestly. Oh, so we had um a business install an EV charging station and they it was not going to be offered to any patrons of the business,
but they were using it for the business themselves. And they said, "Well, that's not public." No, it's private. That's private. Private commercial. The regulations don't apply. Yeah. So, one of the main reasons why we were trying to update this was to make sure that the language was clear that we were going to regulate those as well. Makes sense. Thank you. Yeah. So, thank you. That's private. Okay. All right. Yeah. Hey, at least I could answer one. Y. [Music] Okay. Any other comments on amendment six? I think this is a very good start. Yeah. Yeah. I think there's two. All right. So, go back in order then. Go back. You see what you did there, Heather? Number one. Okay. No, that's fine. That's fine. Two. Two. Yeah. Easy now. Yeah, I think so. Already been discussed, right? Yeah. And then under the section, which one we have? Amendment number two. Okay. Um section 11 uh zoning permit. Okay. This was to add in a reference that we would um under 1101 that we would require a zoning permit for the small solar energy system. Okay. And then comments on that one please. No. I think we got that one done. Okay. And then amendment number three was to revise section 13 the conditional use permit. Now the these changes are necessary due to the other changes that we're proposing under section 15 and 22. Right? So because we are looking at potentially removing some of these uses from some of the districts, I had to go through section 13 and make sure that we were not referencing those districts
anymore. And then it created this we have to renumber everything. Um so it kind of pushes everything down. Um, but then as I started to go through it, if you look at page 13.6, you're going to see a lot of lead red lead red strikeout here under the residential pure facility. Um, make sure we're all there first before. Okay. So, you're going to see a lot of red here, and that's because we're removing, remember, these uses from the R1 and the R4 potentially. But this the the this conditional use permit had a very complicated way to to determine the density that was allowed for these different uses. So I had to strike out all of the stuff that related to the R1 and the R4, which is why you're you're seeing all this. [Applause] So the gross floor area now will just be because we're only potentially allowing it in the B1 B2 Gateway Health District will be 30% of the total lot area. we wouldn't have all these other calculations. That's good. Yeah. Yeah. Much more straightforward. Straightforward. Yeah. So that's why that's the first thing I thought when I saw that. That's why it looks like so much red strike through and and then just keep going through that. And if you but if you read it and you remove that out, it's very streamlined. It's very so much more simple. Yes. It's so refined. Same thing with the setbacks. As a as a person who wants to do that, it's concise. Yeah. Yeah. Very easy. Yeah. That's objective. You're like, "Yep." Yeah. Under 13.7 page, item D, we're going from 60 to 30 ft. No, because we're So, we're remember we're we're taking out R1 and R4 completely. So, one and two are completely out
there. But under three, I was so under under D3, it started to list the B1, you know, B2, GH setback requirements. And what I did is I just kind of move those up under D cuz it didn't make any sense because we don't have a number one two anymore. Why? Okay. So, it's still still keeping the same 30 ft from a side or rear property line. Okay. But 50 ft if a budding the resial. I just went down to one and two and I saw Yeah. Yeah. Gotcha. That's okay. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's it's there's a lot here that you're like, why are we taking all this out? Same thing. Then on the next page, you'll see I'm striking out parking setbacks for R1 and R4 and then just kind of streamlining the the verbiage on that, not changing anything as far as um right, you know, the requirements because we didn't talk about changing requirements or anything. Good. Um, okay. Then you'll see a couple minor changes under 1312. This is related to the library, museum, community center. And then the elimination of the arboritum and camp, right? Okay. And then a few other minor changes under um the adult group homes eliminating the B1 from that. Okay. Then there will be more numbering changes here. Some of these didn't show up in red for some reason. Um but then under page 13.23, section 13.27, 27 taking out the automotive services from the gateway business we talked about but allowing them in the BX business
interchange and these all coincide with the proposed changes under the table of 22.03 that's pretty much the bulk of it from that section. Tell me on 13.31 what's going on with the parenthesis at the end of the whole thing. All of section 13.36 2615 unless noted. What's going on there? The parenthesis at the end of the whole thing. Mhm. Yeah. Those parentheses we have in our all throughout the zoning resolution we talk about updates and we like for whatever reason we put sometimes in here when these sections were you know updated updated or originally adopted. So this section number is actually changing because it was section 13.37. Now because we're eliminating the camp and arboritum it's actually going to be 13.36. So the date to that is when it was last updated is what you're saying the the entire section was adopted on February 6, 2015. Right. The red striketh through that you're seeing Hyram is changing the section number because this is no longer section 13.37. It's going to be 13.36. Yeah. Does that answer your question? All of 13.36. I I just didn't know why that was there. I I don't know. It's at the at the end. Yeah. It's structuring the number system. I'm not going to Don't worry about it. Yeah. Next amendment. Okay. We're on number four now. Yes. And I'm on the number four. This was to revise section 15.02.
Table 1502-1, the table of uses. And this kind of just going co coincides with what we just went the strikes the removals of some of this is in that section 13 right the elimination of the arboritum and camp as conditional uses small for the aging. Yeah. Yeah. And these were some reasons why we had to make some of those changes on 13. [Applause] So I don't know if there's any questions on any of that. We discussed all of that question. Five. Small sword. Yes. I think we beat that. We did that. I think we're pretty good on this one. I think we beat that. Oh, yeah. I got I got my notes from that one. Good. Good. Good.
