Cleveland Heights Board of Zoning Appeals September 2, 2026

The Cleveland Heights Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on September 2, 2026, to consider several variance requests related to residential construction and property modifications. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of variances for Burkewood Solutions LLC to construct a new single-family home with deviations in front yard coverage, driveway width, and garage facade placement. The board granted these variances with conditions, including completion timelines. Another case involved BNL Genevies requesting a variance to build a 6-foot privacy fence in a primary front yard, which was also approved with conditions. Additionally, variances were discussed for a property on Shelurn Road involving driveway width, sideyard setbacks, and rear yard coverage for pavement related to parking, with emphasis on drainage plans and architectural board approvals. The board approved these variances, noting conditions such as civil engineering involvement for drainage and construction completion deadlines. Public concerns about tree removal, drainage, and green space preservation were addressed during the meeting.
