Elyria plans to dissolve the Design Review Committee and shift approvals to the chief building inspector and planning director. Changes cut plan sets, drop the conceptual step, allow flat roofs, and permit non red brick materials while keeping core rules. The Planning Commission meets today and council weighs revisions later this month with the current moratorium ending Oct 18.
