Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Perrysburg public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
E. River Road Rezone to Institutional
A request to rezone 28442 E. River Road from office/service and single-family residential to institutional zoning, with a vote requested.
Research & Development code amendment
New definitions for light and heavy research/testing uses would let R&D businesses locate in Perrysburg without waiting for the full zoning rewrite, with strict buffers keeping heavy testing away from homes. Staff cited interest from a smart-glass firm and Whirlpool.
Nonconforming commercial sign updates
The board must decide whether oversized gas station signs that lost their grandfathered status can stay. The same variances were denied in August 2025 and the signs remain in place, so staff is pushing for denial while offering the applicant a narrower color-only fix.
