🏡 WESTLAKE RESIDENTS: What’s Issue 106 on the November ballot?

On November 3rd, Westlake voters will decide whether to approve a zoning change affecting approximately 4.3 acres along Center Ridge Road.

Here’s the breakdown:

📍 Four properties along Center Ridge Road are involved.

🏘️ The property owner has proposed building up to 12 cluster homes.

📋 The ballot measure would rezone the entire site to R-MF-24, a multifamily residential zoning district.

⚠️ **Here’s the important distinction: Voting YES approves the zoning change, not a specific development plan.**

The proposed classification could also allow other types of residential development, including townhomes, low-rise multifamily buildings, or residential facilities.

And because formal development plans haven’t been submitted to the city, the final design and potential neighborhood impacts aren’t yet known.

Whether you live near Center Ridge Road or elsewhere in Westlake, understanding how zoning decisions affect future development is important.

I’ve put together a more detailed explanation covering what Issue 106 proposes, what each vote means, and what residents should know.

What questions do you have about the proposal?

Westlake is putting the brakes on data centers, before one even shows up.

City Council approved a temporary moratorium giving Westlake time to study large commercial data centers and determine whether the City’s zoning regulations need to be updated before a future proposal comes along.

The pause can last up to six months, with the possibility of extensions.

So, this doesn’t mean a data center is coming to Westlake. It means the City wants rules in place before it potentially has to make that decision.

What do you think — smart planning ahead, or unnecessary regulation?

Rocky River’s luxury market had a pretty interesting August. 👀

Two homes tied for the number 1 sale at $1.325 million—but they took completely different paths to get there.

🏡 2781 Country Club Blvd
Listed: $1.3M
Sold: $1.325M — $25K over asking

🏡 46 Buckingham Rd
Listed: $1.39M
Sold: $1.325M — $65K under asking

Same final price. Very different pricing stories. And both found buyers within just a few days.

That’s a good reminder that even in the luxury market, pricing strategy matters.

Which one surprises you more—the home that sold $25K over asking or the one that sold $65K under?

Mom, this one’s for you.

After hearing about Arthur Treacher’s basically my entire life, I can finally make the announcement she’s been waiting for: Arthur Treacher’s is officially back on Cleveland’s West Side!

The new Lakewood location is open at W. 117th & Madison — and, fittingly enough, the building itself was once an Arthur Treacher’s decades ago.

So now there’s only one thing left to do… take Mom to lunch and see if it still tastes the way she remembers.

If you grew up eating Arthur Treacher’s, what’s the first thing you’re ordering? 👇

Own an older home in Bay Village? 🏡 Good news! The Bay Village Heritage Home Program just became even more powerful for homeowners.

The program already helps owners of 50+ year-old homes with expert guidance on repairs, renovations, and preserving original character. Now, with PNC joining as a lending partner, qualifying homeowners can access a 0.5% interest-rate discount on eligible PNC Home Equity products for approved Heritage Home projects. 💰

Think: roofing, structural repairs, mechanical/plumbing updates, interior remodels, garage repairs, and more (not pools, hot tubs, or vinyl siding).

If you’re debating whether to renovate before selling, the real question is: will this project actually pay off when you go to market?

I can help you look at your home through a buyer’s eyes, compare it with recent Bay Village sales, and decide which projects make sense for resale value.

📩 Contact Ian Jones, LPT Realty, at [email protected] to talk through the Heritage Home Program, the new PNC benefit, or other options in Bay Village.

🏠🔑BEST. BUYER. EVER. 🔑🏠

Sorry to everyone I’ve helped buy a home in the past or to anyone I’ll help in the future. But I just closed a deal with the best buyer client I think I’m EVER going to have.

My fiancée, Dana, is now a homeowner. And getting to go through the first time home buying process with her not only as her partner but her Realtor as well was a heartwarming experience. I am so proud of her and everything she’s worked so hard to accomplish to get to this major milestone in her life!
