Case # 4-2026 (645 Heath Rd./030-089124-00.000)
Brittany Lang of Lang Holdings, owner of Creative Minds, is requesting a variance to Chapter 1173.09(f) of the City of Heath Codified Ordinances for Architecture requirements for “Building Materials and Colors” which states “The use of brick or stone (including limestone and manufactured stone) is significant in the development’s community-wide acceptability and contextual appearance. Therefore, one or both materials shall be utilized on every building facade. A minimum of 60 percent of every building front facade must be standard or utility sized brick or natural stone. Split face concrete block is not considered brick or stone and thus may not be used to meet the 60 percent requirement; however, it may be used for the remaining 40 percent. Other facades must have a minimum of thirty percent (30%) brick or stone.” The owner, Brittany Lang, is requesting the variance to move forward with construction without the brick on the new addition due to cost.
