PUBLIC NOTICE -
Aragon Project Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting
rescheduled from April 20th to May 11th.
The Board of Zoning Appeals hearing initially scheduled for April 20th for the Aragon Project has been rescheduled to: May 11, 2015 at 9:30 am. The change in date is to allow additional time for community engagement.
The hearing will be held at the same location, Room 514 of City Hall (5th Floor).
If you have already submitted a comment to the Board of Zoning Appeals, there is no need to resubmit.
Additionally, a Cleveland Planning Commission Hearing is scheduled for May 1, 2015 at 9:00 am. This hearing will also be held in Room 514 of City Hall. Since the Aragon Ballroom is within a Pedestrian Retail Overlay Zoning District, the Planning Commission must approve the use of any structure—new or existing—that has more than 40 feet of frontage.
Note: The Cleveland Planning Commission does not place restrictions on the operations of the building. All comments of support or concern regarding the use or operation should be submitted to the Board of Zoning Appeals.

The following information is provided as public notice for two meetings scheduled for review and discussion of the Historic Aragon Ballroom renovation project that represents an investment of $1.5 million on the W. 25th Street corridor. Post card notices were mailed to residents in an approximate 1/2 radius of the project last Monday.
The project was first announced in 2013 when the new owner began work to stabilize the building. Progress has been made to the point of now completing designs and financing in addition to compliance and approvals with City Planning and Building and Housing Departments. An initial public meeting was held on January 22nd, 2015. Concerns and questions from that meeting have led to the development of the FAQ and finalization of the proposed use and operations provide below.
The public is invited to attend these meetings to learn more about the project and provide input on the final plans and designs for the building re-use as a banquet and conference facility.
Included in the information below are notices for the meetings on April 8th and 20th, details regarding the zoning variances required for the building operation, and a Frequently Asked Questions list which details the plans for operation.
If there are any questions regarding this project please call Councilman Cummins* Ward 14 office at 216-664-4238; Keisha Gonzales*, Adam Giffford, or Adam Stalder at the Stockyard, Clark Fulton & Brooklyn Centre Community Development Office at 216-961-9073; or Cory Riodan, Tremont West Development Corporation at (216) 575-0920. *Se habla Español
