Committee: Staff
Action Type: Initial Plan Submission
Conditions/Notes:  
 
Date: April 7, 2021
Committee: Local Design Review Committee
Action Type: No Action Taken
Conditions:  

1.     Members are split on the demolition of this apartment building.

a.     Voting in approval, those in favor generally see the building as a component of the entire redevelopment. To be clear, they do not necessarily think the building cannot be rehabilitated or saved, they see it more as a part of the overall site vision.

b.     Voting in disapproval, those against demolition generally see the building as contributing to the streetscape/historic fabric of Lorain, providing missing-middle housing, and not worth the 17 spaces of parking the land provides if the building is demolished (since the site has large amounts of parking already).

c.     Street View of building: https://www.google.com/maps/place/14737+Lorain+Ave,+Cleveland,+OH+44111/@41.4533707,-81.7994044,3a,60y,176.82h,88.89t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sWH30-qPHQAZw8bosVPCYhg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!4m5!3m4!1s0x8830edeb5e53a3ed:0x655aaf97f48123f5!8m2!3d41.4531798!4d-81.7993487
