Greetings,

The City of Medina’s updated Comprehensive Plan allows flexibility within the Staging Plan which guides when development would be allowed on different properties. We are now investigating options to regulate this flexibility. We would like to create a “point system” to rate the level to which projects meet City objectives (natural resource/open space protection, affordable housing, high quality design, and other amenities which exceed general City requirements) in order to determine if they would be able to develop sooner than otherwise allowed.

If any colleagues know of any examples or have any experience in this type of system, I would appreciate any assistance.

Thanks everyone,
Dusty Finke
