Board of Zoning Appeals and City Planning Commission Minutes
The board conducted a public hearing concerning a request for a Conditional Use Permit and a parking variance to establish a specialized instructional school and cooperative bakery at 20106 Chagrin Boulevard. The applicants detailed plans to operate a commercial bakery that offers baking classes for children and adults.
