Cleveland Heights Planning and Development Committee October 13, 2026

The Cleveland Heights City Council Planning and Development Committee met on October 13, 2026, to review progress on the city’s zoning code update with its consulting team, including ZoneCo and City Architecture. The discussion covered feedback from a recent public open house and an ongoing online survey, and the team’s use of Urban3 analysis and the GridX visualization tool. No contract awards, purchasing decisions, budget allocations, or votes were identified. A roughly $20 million investment in the Nobility Court apartment complex was mentioned as an example of development in the community, not as a city procurement action.

Committee members discussed proposed zoning approaches, including greater housing density and mixed-use development along corridors, transition areas between commercial and residential districts, and options for areas with vacant or underused properties. Members asked the team to further assess the location and structure of proposed transition areas, examine Noble Road in greater detail, and use data and concrete development examples to illustrate potential effects on city revenue, transit, and housing. Staff and consultants will refine maps and district proposals, continue public engagement, and consider an informal Planning Commission preview or joint work session before formal referral. No procurement activity was identified.
