The building is tall because Landmarks pushed them to shrink the footprint with larger setbacks along 25th and Washington. The original site plan was, what, 11 floors, and ironically preserved more of the existing structures on the site.

Sounds like the city is unhappy that the current Haslam and DOT study focuses entirely on traffic and not on the city. The article paraphrases as much from Bibb. Having a city-focused lakefront plan would be useful if they hope to push back on outside influence and traffic concerns.

I glanced around the east side this time and noticed maybe 20 other projects that are now under construction or complete. Any interest in giving me access to edit it directly?

You work for the West Palm tourism bureau?

The setback was solely to appease Landmark's misguided concern about blocking the view of St. Malachi church from W. 25th

The Silverhills project plans a groundbreaking in October according to the Crain's article. Aesthetics aside that's exciting.

How did that sneak under UO radar? They need to get that cam up.

The road is closed and parts have started to arrive.

Any plan that doesn't remove the flyover and rebuild Erieside and Shoreway into a walkable city street is a colossal failure.

We might not see the rest of the crane till they pour the base. Looks like they started on the elevator shaft today. From earlier this afternoon:

Looks good. Should fit in well with all the family friendly stuff there already.

I wish we could do that, but Cleveland puts the street parking next to the curb forcing cars to cross bike lanes to park.

There's also an urban form overlay over this stretch, so it'll require a number of variances before it gets approval. And hopefully it doesn't. https://planning.clevelandohio.gov/bza/agenda/2022/crr08-15-2022.pdf Calendar No. 22-112 3522 Clark Ave. Ward 14 Charter Food Inc, proposes to establish a new Taco Bell structure with drive-through in a G2 Limited Retail Business and an Urban Form Overlay District. The owner appeals for relief from the strict application of the following section of the Cleveland Codified Ordinances: 1. Section 343.22 which states in the Limited Retail Business District Drive-Through Restaurant is permitted only as regulated in section 348.04 in the Urban Form Overlay. 2. Section 348.04(c)(3) which states any business served by a drive-thru shall have all points of customer intersection located outside of the urban street space; proposed restaurant building is within urban street space. 3. Section 348.04(d)(2)(A) which states 80 % Principal street frontage build out is required; proposed is less than 80%. 4. Section 348.04(d)(4)(B) which states no access is permitted on a principal frontage; two drives are proposed. 5. Section 348.04(d)(4)(D) which states that the maximum permitted aisle width is 22 feet. 6. Section 348.04(d)(5)(D) which states a 6 foot wide transition strip of 100% opacity is required at the rear where lot abuts Multi-Family District. 7. Section 347.16(g)(6) which states that sales from a drive-through lanes are prohibited from 9:30pm to 6:00am. 8. Section 341.02 approval of the City Planning Commission is required. (Filed June 23, 2022-Testimony Taken) THIS CASE WAS POSTPONED DUE TO AN ERROR IN THE ADJUDICATION.

Tons of renderings of their streetscaping plans starting page 252. Anything would help the vibe walking down Ontario or Prospect through Tower City. https://planning.clevelandohio.gov/designreview/drcagenda/2022/PDF/CPC-presentation-08-05-2022.pdf

Tap House closed in April for renovations. It's supposed to re-open this summer.

Worst Energy has been ruining street trees throughout the city for years. City council has been toothless to prevent it.

^ So the state offering more per student for private schools than public is fair because public schools make up the difference from other sources like property taxes? That's certainly a take.

A little bit of rain's not going to affect a 5' thick concrete pad.

For the love of god just build some protected bike lanes. Put down some paint and cheap flexible bollards and call it a day. $20 million to add about 10-15 minutes of biking, with no connectivity at either end. It doesn't even connect to the protected bike lanes over the Superior bridge.

Yeah there was an excavator there all week trying to dig out the foundations. Quite the old musty smell walking past too. My understanding is they plan to start construction on the apartment building shortly after.

This could be interesting. Most of the parcels on this block are owned by Famicos Foundation and the city landbank. Went before the northeast design review on June 21, now the city planning commission this Friday. https://planning.clevelandohio.gov/designreview/drcagenda/2022/PDF/CPC-Agenda-WebEx-meeting-070122.pdf 1.

Nice moment, hope it works out for him. He might end up being stashed in Perth or just a D-leaguer.

The Geis project at West 20th and Molke Court went back to the planning commission last Friday with updated renders. Arguably better then the first iteration. Starting page 97. https://planning.clevelandohio.gov/designreview/drcagenda/2022/PDF/CPC-presentation-06-17-2022.pdf Previous revision:
