Developer seeks Cluster Homes, More Retail Zoning in Boston Heights

Links:   Overview   News   Background Updated:15 July 2004
Zoning Alert!

Overview
Omni Realty had asked for major zoning changes to allow more retail & hotel development adjacent to existing homes, and for high-density housing in the Village of Boston Heights, Ohio. Through "Omni Turnpike LLC", the company already owns the derelict hotel at Hines Hill Road and Route 8; it is also a partner in adjacent land that includes Liberty Harley-Davidson. The company wishes to combine those holdings with additional acreage to the east, and directly to the south of the Turnpike on Boston Mills Road.

The company's official zoning requests were presented at the May 2004 PC/BZA meeting.
