# Planning Commission Meeting 10/13/2026

The Elyria Planning Commission met on October 13, 2026. It approved the minutes from its August 4 meeting, then held a public hearing on case 2026-100113, a request by Grude Group LLC to rezone 420 and 428 Oberlin Road from corridor to commercial. The applicant described plans to use existing buildings for wholesale building-material storage and distribution, office space, and related business activity, with no combustible materials stored on site. Staff characterized the proposal as consistent with the area’s transitional mix of uses and low-intensity industrial activity. A motion to approve was made and seconded, but the transcript does not capture the vote or its outcome.

The commission also considered case 2026-100112, Wagner Electric Sign Company’s request for a waiver of design-review guidelines to allow an illuminated sign with a white background for Apples at 230 North Abbe Road. Staff noted that the city’s law department was reviewing proposed guideline updates that would remove the restriction. A motion to approve was made, but the transcript does not clearly capture the vote or outcome. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.
