Minimum Building Frontage 18 11/25 DRAFT 1161.07 DESIGN REGULATIONS I. Approval by Planning and Design Commission. Projects developed under the regulations and process outlined in this Chapter must be reviewed by the Planning and Design Commission. No building permit shall be issued unless plans and specifications have been approved in writing by the Planning and Design Commission. II. Design Guidelines. The Planning and Design Commission should use the following items as guidelines in addition to the provisions set forth in Chapter 1159 of the Zoning Code when reviewing plans and projects being developed in the TOD Overlay District. (a) Architectural Elements. 1. Building design should provide contextual references to its surrounding built environment, including existing architecture, natural features, and cultural contexts. 2. Primary and accent building materials should visually complement each other in terms of color, texture, and pattern. (b) Massing and Scale. 1. The massing and scale of new construction should consider its surrounding context. Where larger scaled buildings are located next to smaller ones, steps should be taken to visually transition down in terms of size, massing, and scale, which can be achieved using any of the following techniques: i. Stepping back upper stories or adjusting the roof pitch of larger massed buildings on the side where they are adjacent to smaller massed buildings. ii. Including additional buffer space between larger massed buildings and smaller massed buildings. This buffer space is an appropriate area for drives, landscaping, and open space. iii. Including horizontal architectural details such as cornices and window frames on larger massed buildings that align with the roofline of the adjacent smaller massed buildings. iv. Using trees and other greenery to soften hard edges between differently massed buildings. 2. Large-scale commercial and mixed-use buildings should include architectural or material-based articulation to reduce the perceived 19 11/25 DRAFT mass of the building while still aligning with the built context of the block, which can be achieved using any of the following techniques: i. For larger buildings, particularly buildings that fill an entire block, using engaging ground-level design and providing multiple pedestrian entry points along the frontage. ii. Avoiding large, monolithic buildings by breaking the facade down to appear as multiple smaller buildings. iii. Incorporating architectural elements such as recessed or protruding entrances, balconies, bay windows, brick patterns, etc. iv. Ensuring the pattern or repetition of any chosen architectural feature, recess, projection, or break is regular, intentional, and predictable. 3. Front Facades, Entrances, and Building Orientation. i. Ground floor facades facing the street should include at least 50% transparent windows and doors. Transparency should be evenly distributed to avoid long stretches of blank wall. ii. The orientation and placement of buildings should contribute to a sense of enclosure and defined space by maintaining a consistent building frontage along a primary street. a. Buildings may be set further back to incorporate public spaces, plazas and parks in a way that centralizes and activates those spaces, such as by having windows and entrances face into the public spaces. iii. The front facade of new construction should orient towards the street by having the building's main entrance, primary windows, and facade details facing the street. iv. For corner lots, entrances could be oriented at a 45-degree angle to emphasize the corner and encourage pedestrian access from both the principal street and secondary street. 4. Transit. i. Existing and future transit stops should be considered in the layout of new developments to ensure convenient transit access and use. ii. The location of entrances, walkways, and pedestrian amenities should allow for convenient, safe, and comfortable pedestrian access from a transit stop to the site. 20 11/25 DRAFT 5. Pedestrian Amenities. i. Outdoor dining and seating areas are encouraged but should maintain at least five feet of unobstructed walking space along sidewalks. ii. Pedestrian amenities such as benches, lighting, and trash and recycling receptacles should be conveniently placed together. iii. Overhead weather protection—such as awnings, overhangs, and arcades—are encouraged and should be appropriately located to clearly define building entries and orient towards pedestrian areas. Where possible, overhead weather protection should be located to provide shelter to waiting transit users. 6. Parking. i. Garages, parking spaces, and driveways should be designed to be as discreet as possible and limit impediments to the walking environment. a. Garage openings should be placed where it will have the least disruption to pedestrian walkways and limit potential conflict points between car traffic and pedestrians. ii. Buildings should be arranged on the site such that garages should be placed behind buildings whenever possible, and parking entrances should be accessed via secondary streets. iii. Whenever garages face a primary street, they should be lined by buildings that screen the parking structure from view and incorporate other uses such as residential, retail, and active uses. iv. Garages that are visible from a public street should avoid blank walls. These garages should be screened using landscaping or public art, or should incorporate architectural design that complements the primary structure through the use of facade articulation, architectural elements, color, and elements that break up the mass of the garage. Fabric screening of parking garages is discouraged. III. Consistency with Adopted Plans and Guidelines. Where a plan or design guidelines or standards have been adopted by the city, the arrangement and design of land uses, buildings, open spaces, and streets should be consistent with the intent of that plan. 21 11/25 DRAFT 1161.08 PARKING AND LOADING STANDARDS.

The legislation will authorize the City to adopt the TOD for Lorain Road created by the Commission. The purpose of the TOD is to guide development and redevelopment in areas where mixed uses and a diversity of housing types should be promoted as a means of promoting economic development and expanding mobility options for users of the Lorain Road corridor. The benefit of adopting the TOD for Lorain Road is the City will have a plan to develop a more pedestrian friendly and more sustainable district with established guidelines that reinforce the district’s “sense of place” and ensures an aesthetically pleasing environment. The City worked with the Commission to prepare TOD zoning language and design guidelines to be adopted and applied to Lorain Road. The Commission has recommended zoning changes for the City, which the City wishes to adopt (Exhibit A and B). cc: A.

Please refer to that document for further information regarding: • 2025 Year-End Permanent Appropriations Ordinance • 2026 Permanent Appropriations Ordinance • 2026 Salary Ordinance • 2025 Year-End Contracting Authority Ordinance • 2026 Contracting Authority Ordinance The 2025 Year-End Permanent Appropriations Ordinance is needed to ensure sufficient funding is authorized at the various levels of budgetary control. Areas were increased to meet the final year-end anticipated expenditure levels or decreased where necessary. There are sufficient revenues for each fund, so no fund will end in a deficit position. The 2026 Permanent Appropriations Ordinance provides the legal levels of budgetary control as required by the Ohio Revised Code for anticipated expenditures for the upcoming fiscal year beginning January 1, 2026. The appropriations are determined after a conservative estimate of revenues for the upcoming year are forecasted so there is sufficient funding of anticipated expenses. The 2026 Salary Ordinance estimates the impact of a 27th Pay Period and the unknown effect of the collective bargaining negotiations that will begin at the end of 2025. The Police and Fire Chief positions have been added to this ordinance so that the salary for all non-union positions is captured under one piece of legislation. The positions of Director of Recreation and Director of Senior Life have also been added to Grade F so that all of the Mayor’s Cabinet are under the same category. With the re-opening of the Gemini Center natatorium in 2026, the City is creating Manager Positions to oversee the Coordinator positions. Apart from the Program Coordinator – Aquatics position, which is currently posted, this is a re-titling of existing positions and does not include the hiring of new employees. Finally, with the passage of the updates to Section 143: Employment Provisions there are changes in the language of this ordinance to not create redundancies. The 2025 Contracting Authority Ordinance requests City Council contracting authority for expenditures $15,000 or more for all departments and all funds as required by the Charter of the City of Fairview Park. The Year-end update is needed to increase contracting authority levels in the categories of Advertising, Hardware Supplies, Recreation Services, Supplies & Equipment, 20777 Lorain Road Bill Schneider Fairview Park, Ohio 44126 Mayor 440-333-2200 (City Hall) www.fairviewpark.org Reforestation Services, Supplies & Equipment, Service Department Services, Supplies & Equipment and Office Equipment, Supplies & Services. The 2026 Contracting Authority Ordinance requests City Council contracting authority for expenditures of $15,000 or more for all departments and all funds as required by the Charter of the City of Fairview Park. This will streamline the purchasing process by City Council permitting this authority in one ordinance at the start of the year rather than one ordinance at a time. Any expenditure over $5,000 or more will still go to Board of Control. Any purchase $75,000 or over, or capital purchases of $15,000 or more will continue to come before Council during 2026. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to discussing these further in committee. cc: Mayor Bill Schneider A.
