West River rezoning bid rejected over traffic concerns
Elyria city council's community development committee rejected a proposal to rezone a West River Road and Kennedy Memorial Parkway parcel from single family to B-3 and B-4 for a gas station and small businesses citing current traffic bottlenecks. The plan had been denied by the planning commission, and residents argued noise and congestion. The panel also recommended Shell Oil Co. rezoning for two stations to allow expansions, while denying a Meckler request for 12 apartments due to lot size and access limits.
