Fairlawn council seeks resident feedback on vape shops and West Market zoning
Summary
The Fairlawn City Council is hosting a public hearing on July 13 to discuss proposed zoning changes and regulations for smoke and vape shops. The proposed changes include moving to a Planned Unit Development District (PUD) for 3320-3340 West Market Street, which aims to encourage creative land use and economic activity while preserving natural features. The PUD would allow a mix of residential and business spaces, though certain businesses like funeral homes and drive-throughs would be excluded. Additionally, the council is revisiting regulations for vape and smoke shops, which would prohibit the sale of products like kratom and Delta-8 THC, limit signage, and restrict store locations near schools and parks. The original moratorium on these shops could be extended by 90 days. Residents will also have the opportunity to comment on revisions to accessory buildings and rights-of-way in residential districts.
