The Cuyahoga Falls Planning Commission will discuss a draft of the Merriman Valley Form-Based Code at its meeting scheduled for July 18 at 6 p.m. at the Natatorium, 2345 4th Street. The draft is a companion to the proposed Merriman Valley Master Plan.
The cities of Cuyahoga Falls and Akron began the master plan process in 2021 with a draft developed by Farr Associates that was designed to build upon the 2005 Northampton Area planning framework to create a more cohesive land use policy and regulations that will guide future development for both Cuyahoga Falls and Akron in the Merriman Valley-Schumacher Area. The draft code is available at cityofcf.com/mvsdraftcode. Residents will have an opportunity to give feedback on the draft code at the July 18 meeting.
