Planning - August 11, 2026

The City of Solon Planning Commission held a meeting on August 11, 2026, primarily to review and approve site plans, variances, and waivers related to local development projects. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the proposed consolidation of FPC International and FedPro's manufacturing facilities into a new 110,000 square foot building on Solon Road. The commission discussed site layout, parking variances, loading dock dimensions, landscaping, sidewalk waivers, and stormwater detention pond modifications. Multiple variances were approved, including reduced parking spaces, loading dock size, landscaping requirements, and sidewalk installation along certain roads. The commission also approved a motion supporting the renaming of Franklin Park Boulevard to FedPro Drive, contingent on land transfer. Additionally, a variance for a front yard fence height was approved for a residential property on Petty Bone Road. The meeting included presentations from project engineers, architects, and city officials, with all procurement-related approvals moving forward to the City Council for final consent.
