Planning and Zoning will review ordinances that would allow apartment at Green Road and Chagrin Boulevard
Beachwood City Council referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission ordinances that would allow an apartment building to be built at Green Road and Chagrin Boulevard at Tuesday's meeting. Council tabled measures last month that would change the zoning of the parcel to one that would allow the apartments.

Mr. Silver, thank you for your comment. If Beachwood wanted to undertake a complete review of the Commerce Park zoning then it should do so and it should not be driven by a one-off zoning change proposal for one residential project.
