Dutch Bros gets OK to open in Streetsboro; chain expands in NE Ohio

Dutch Bros, a coffee shop chain that has been expanding in Northeast Ohio, received approval Nov. 10 to open a new store in Streetsboro. The city's Planning and Zoning Commission approved site plans for the store, as well as a lot split of the Shady Lake Development property where the new business is proposed. The Streetsboro location is the third to announce plans to build in the area in recent months. In July, the chain announced plans to locate in Fairlawn , and in August, plans for a Stark County location were announced. Drew Cook of Greyfox Capital , the owners and developers of the Shady Lake property, said the new building would be at 9580 State Route 14, next to Aldi, in front of the Shady Lake apartments. Another parcel on the property is being reserved for future development. The 986-square-foot drive-thru building would have no indoor or outdoor seating. There would be 22 parking spaces. There would be two drive-thru lanes serving one window, and a walk-up window. The property would be accessed through a traffic signal at Home Depot Drive and the private Highcrest Drive. Cook said he anticipates the business opening around fall 2027. It would

City Council OKs Malik plan to unlock potential of older Akron homes

The city of Akron is making it easier to invest in its vast stock of aging homes by eliminating another obstacle to their reuse. Under current zoning regulations, Akron Planning Director Kyle Julien said, 86% of land in the city that allows residential uses "is zoned exclusively for single-family homes." Thanks to a change unanimously adopted Nov. 9 by Akron City Council, residential properties that do not quite fit the description – so-called legal nonconforming structures – won't have to be brought into compliance with modern zoning rules within two years as previously required. The step, coupled with another recent zoning change that sets aside lot-size requirements, is one Mayor Shammas Malik's administration hopes will encourage a wave of community renewals. Across the last 30 years of the 20th century, Akron abandoned the idea of neighborhoods with a mix of housing types, opting instead for neighborhoods dedicated to single-family homes, Julien said. But bringing homes built prior to that push into compliance limited property buyers' possibilities. "This requirement can be challenging or even impossible to meet. It's not easy to turn a duplex into a single-family home," Julien said, "and you can't add land to a parcel to meet the

Rootstown boys soccer state semifinal vs Norwayne High School

TWINSBURG — Rootstown's boys soccer state debut got off to a tough start. Norwayne controlled the start, setting the tone with two goals in the first 19 minutes, then added a goal right before and another after the intermission. How would the Rovers, who led virtually the entire postseason until then, respond? Rootstown responded with 35 minutes of inspired soccer to close its historic season, ultimately falling 5-2 to Norwayne in a Division V state semifinal Nov. 11. "You can't find a better class of kids that put the work ethic in and all that," Rovers coach Charlie Voth said. "They really worked hard." The Rovers' rally included a goal apiece from seniors Zach Pastor and Bryson Scarlett. Pastor's goal put him at 107 for his career, extending his Portage County record. "If I had a chance to take it back for the win, I would do it in a heartbeat," Pastor said. "It still means a lot being number one, but I would put it all away for this class and moving to the state championship." It was a record-breaking season for Rootstown (17-3-2) in multiple ways, as the program broke through for its first regional championship with a

Accumulating Lake-Effect Snow Possible for Cleveland, Ashtabula, and Northeast Ohio Friday Into Saturday as Phasing Storm Brings Rain, Thunder, and Wintry Mix
