Planning & Zoning

The Community Development Department consists of the Planning Department, the Building Department, and the Economic Development Department. Together, they provide a one-step convenient service to residents, businesses, and contractors.

The Planning Department provides assistance to businesses and residents requesting information related to zoning and development issues. The Department assists applicants through Medina's approval process including submittals to the Planning Commission, Historic Preservation Board, and the Board of Zoning Appeals. Additionally, we monitor the continued compliance of the established development regulations.

The Planning Department administers the City's Comprehensive Plan and special planning studies. The Department also coordinates the City's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP), and other housing and neighborhood related programs.

Multi-Use/Bike Path Plan Public Meeting

  

The City of Medina, in partnership with the Medina County Park District, is embarking on a public engagement process to gather community input for a Multi-Use Path Plan. This plan builds upon recommendations from the City's Comprehensive Plan completed in 2022. The City is looking to develop an interconnected multi-use path network that links residents and workers to local and regional assets.

Using feedback gathered from public meetings and surveys, local stakeholders, and a steering committee, draft plans are currently being compiled.  Draft plan documents will be presented at an upcoming third public meeting in the fall of 2023.
