The Cleveland Heights Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for the company at its meeting Wednesday night
The former Coventry School will soon have a new tenant. The Cleveland Heights Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for The Open Office to lease space in the old elementary school at its meeting Wednesday night. Founder Andrew Auten wants to provide a coworking environment and professional office space for people who normally work from home or coffee shops. “Hey, I love Phoenix ... but at the same time it’s not always that conducive to producing. We want to provide a work space that’s larger than a café table and has a reliable, secure wi-fi connection,” Auten said. “That’s what we want to offer — a third space that’s not (the coffee shop) and not your home.” The Cleveland Heights-University Heights School Board approved a …

Planning Commission recommends expansion of "adaptive re-use" of non-residential buildings
Cleveland Heights City Council will consider allowing more types of industries to use vacant buildings such as schools, churches and libraries in the city at its meeting Monday. Businesses and organizations with an educational purpose can already use these vacant buildings in residential districts, with conditions. For example, the former Coventry School, which closed in 2007, now houses the Ensemble Theatre, Cleveland Sight Center and Family Connections. In order to use the space, the new tenants had to go through the Planning Commission and get conditional use permit, which spells out rules and guidelines for using the old elementary school. And a new tenant was granted a permit at Wednesday's Planning Commission meeting, where they …

About 30 people attended a meeting Monday night to hear more about possible zoning changes to buildings like schools, churches and libraries in residential areas
The City of Cleveland Heights held a public hearing Monday night in Council Chambers to review changes to a zoning code that, if passed, would set conditions but allow organizations and businesses to obtain permits to use vacant buildings like churches, libraries and schools in residential areas. The ordinance will go back to the Planning Commission Wednesday, and could be approved by council at its next regular meeting Aug. 15. Residents wanted to know how the city would inform them about new tenants, if the ordinance would apply to the former Oakwood Country Club, what types of businesses could move in and why the ordinance was initially written with an emergency clause. Proposed changes to the zoning code Councilman Dennis Wilcox said…

The Cleveland Heights Planning Commission approved a two-year permit for the theater to stay in the former elementary school
The Cleveland Heights Planning Commission has extended the Ensemble Theatre's temporary conditional use permit to occupy the former Coventry School building to two years, according to an article that ran this week in The Sun Press. The theater has used the former elementary school since January, and requested to have a more permanent situation. The previous temporary permit was up Aug. 30, according to the article. The theater's lease ends Dec. 31, and it is working with the Cleveland Heights-University Heights School District, which owns the building, to stretch that as well. It has productions planned for the fall, and is seeking auditions for its upcoming production of Clifford Odets' Waiting for Lefty, according to its website. The …

The Cleveland Sight Center had an open house Wednesday

Reduction from federal cuts to Community Development Block Grant program will also likely affect two other groups that will learn next week how much they'll receive
The Home Repair Resource Center is one of four local nonprofits that will see their funding reduced as part of federal cuts to the Community Development Block Grant program HRRC, which helps low-income Cleveland Heights families repair their homes with loans and puts on workshops so people can do their own home repairs, will receive about $50,000 less than they did last year through the program, or about $251,000. The organization uses the CDBG money to provide most of its services, many of which are performed out of its office on Noble Road. HRRC Director Kathryn Lad said there will not be a reduction in services offered as result of the cuts, mainly because the agency was proactive last year once it was learned the cuts were likely. A …
