Every project links to the city packet it came from.
The Parma Board of Zoning Appeals proposed to grant a variance for Parma Height Christian Academy to utilize an existing retail/office building as a 9th-12th grade high school in a Retail Business District, where 'school' is not a permitted use by right. This variance recommendation is subject to Council's confirmation or rejection.

- What happened
- The Board of Zoning Appeals recommended approval for a variance to allow Parma Height Christian Academy to convert an existing retail/office building into a high school at 6735 Ames Road.
- Why it matters
- Allowing a school use in a retail building will likely necessitate significant interior renovations to convert the space to classrooms, offices, and other school facilities, creating opportunities for general contractors and various interior trades.
- Timing
- The variance proposal will be referred to the Planning Committee for further review before a final Council decision. If confirmed, design and permitting for interior build-out would follow.
