City Planning Commission

601 Lakeside Ave Cleveland, OH 44114 (Directions)

Cleveland City Hall, Room 514 (or watch on YouTube)

The City Planning Commission, established in 1915, is a body of seven members; six are appointed by the mayor and one is a member of City Council. The commission is supported by a staff of professional planners and architects. The City Charter gives the commission responsibility for preparing plans to guide “development and improvement” of the city and its neighborhoods, and for reviewing all legislation and other matters that concern the “use or development of land.”

NOTE: This meeting could run as long as 3 hours, and because the commission has been holding hybrid meetings – with some people at City Hall and others joining via WebEx – you may have a better time hearing and viewing all meeting participants in person. Feel free to note in your coverage when you cannot identify who is speaking because of visual or audio difficulty. Sometimes the best designation you can give is “a commission member,” “an official,” or “a resident.”

Commission members:

• Lillian Kuri, Chair
• August Fluker, Vice Chair
• Charles Slife, Ward 17 City Council member
• Denise McCray-Scott
• Andrew Sargeant
• Isabella McKnight
• Erika Anthony
