Though much of the March 6 primary election attention is going toward
the Giant Eagle rezoning proposal, Strongsville United Church of Church
is also asking for a zoning change.
According to Ward 3 Councilman Jim Carbone, in whose ward the
rezoning would take place, Issue 5 was put on the ballot as a precaution
for possible future development by the church.
At this time, Carbone says Strongsville United Church of Christ has
no plans for the property at 19130 Royalton Road. The church is situated
on northwest corner of Pearl and Royalton roads.
“The church doesn’t want to be in a difficult situation when the church does decide to expand,” he said.
Voters will decide whether to rezone Ward 3 in order to change the
ward’s classification to PF (Public Facilities) from R1-75 (One family
75) resident zoning. The rezoning would allow the church to expand its
parking lot or facility in the future.
“This could be something that happens five, 10, 20 years down the
road,” Carbone said. “The church will be sensitive to any concerns
residents have.”
Carbone said he and the church are looking into bringing residents together to listen to any concerns.
“I haven’t heard anything negative,” Carbone said.
