How can I determine if the kind of business I want to operate is permitted at a given location?

Planning Department staff will be able to answer your questions in regard to permitted uses of land. Some uses are permitted 'by right,' which means that no special approvals are needed, while others may be 'conditionally permitted.' Conditionally permitted uses of land generally require Planning Commission review and approval. Call the department at 216-219-4878 or email the department. you can also email Brian Anderson, Business Development Manager at 216-291-2617 for more information.
