ACTIONABLE ITEMS
F. Ordinance No. 2024-45- Introduced by Council-An Ordinance to amend Chapter 1129.07 of the
Zanesville Planning and Zoning Ordinances.
Mr. Baker: For which there is a public hearing scheduled for April 8, 2024 at 6:50 p.m. in Council's Chambers.
Matthew Schley: Yes, so this Chapter 1129.07 deals with our Marijuana Code. So currently how our
marijuana code works, is it is only for medicinal marijuana dispensaries. Of course, as many of you know, the
ballet issue occurred and state laws are in process of being changed. So what we have done is we have been
trying to get ahead of this because how state laws working is there is not going to be a medical dispensary or
recreational dispensary, it will just be dispensaries now. They have made a few rules in regards to that. So
we looked at a few different communities that have really strong code that both regulates this type of use
while also allowing it in certain situations. I want to be clear, we are not acting as the Board of Pharmacology
Page 1 of 10
that was the question that we got. No, we are not. We are looking at it strictly from a land use perspective.
What it will do, is it will allow for marijuana related businesses to go in front of the Board of Zoning Appeals
and receive a Special Use Permit. We are regulating it the same way we regulate alcohol, just like how the
State Law is being written as well. It would be allowed in a C-3, C-4 and 1-1 District as a special use. They
would have to go before the Board of Zoning Appeals and they would also have to comply with all the Board
of Pharmacology requirements. We included that in this code section, just to make sure it was as strong as
we could possibly be while still allowing this type of use to occur.
We received, I will just t ell you this, a little back story here. These dispensary licenses are disbursed on a
lottery system and the State of Ohio has set everything up in districts. We are in a district with Coshocton
County and Noble County. We have been up on the lottery twice, both times, both dispensaries went to
Coshocton County. Regardless of your opinions of this type of medicinal supplement or in general
supplement there are a lot of people in our county that every day they drive to Coshocton County or every
week they drive to Coshocton County to get their medicine. Well, that is a little bit of a problem.
Additionally, they are leaving our community to go spend their tax payer dollars in other places. So, what we
have put together is what we felt was a middle of the road, a good compromise, where it is still regulated
properly while also allowing those businesses to operate within our community. It went through · the
Planning Commission. There were no objections from the general public at the Planning Commission
meeting. There were people in attendance at that one. Sometimes they come, sometimes they don't, but
there were a few people in attendance. There were no comments for or against from the general public and
the Planning Commission recommended this for Council unanimously.
Mark Baker: Yes, Matt, could you go over how this lottery system works again. So there are a number of
dispensaries that are allowed in each region, which could be made up of a series of counties. Ours is just
three and from that; we have business owners that apply to be able to actually create businesses. So there
could be let's just put a number on it like a half a dozen businesses that come before, how does that process
actually work?
Matthew Schley: So you are actually describing it exactly how it works. So, businesses would make the
application to the State. Part of that application process, those businesses have to go through is; actually
obtain a letter from my office that says the property that they are pursuing is applicably zoned. They don't
have to get the zoning permits at that time, but they have to show that it is applicably zoned and it is within
a jurisdiction that allows for it. They go through the process and they pay an application fee to the state.
Then, I hate to joke about this because it sounds like a joke, but it's not. There are a number of ping pong
balls in a giant roller and they roll it, if your number comes out you can then pursue and continue moving
forward with the marijuana dispensary. That is exactly how it works. It is the State of Ohio that dictates how
many dispensaries are allowed in the region or I should say in the little blocker that they have. It is not us.
So, that is how, from our research and in ta lking to the Board of Pharmacology that it will remain. They do
not have an interest in making it like a free for all where everybody can get these. It will still be that lottery
system. There is a bunch of nuances within it that I am not even aware of, but I know that you get points and
the more ping pong balls or less and things like that, but it is kind of like a draft.
Mark Baker: So we have two of them in Coshocton County and none in Noble County and none in
Muskingum County.
Todd Ware: There are three in Licking County.
Page 2 of 10
Mark Baker: There are three in Licking County. Okay.
Mayor Mason: Mr. Chairman, the question I get all the time is; "Is the City doing something to prevent those
businesses from being here? We absolutely answer categorically, no." I have actually called the Board of
Pharmacology to find out why there are two licenses in Coshocton County, which is half the size of our
county and nothing here and they go back, and honestly, it is like they are reading from a script. They will
not answer the question. The question is, why are our business interest not being attended to, but
Coshocton is more than attended to? They will not give you an answer.
Matthew Schley: On top of that, I want to just say that last year when the last lottery that went through my
office was inundated with sending out those letters to the point where we were getting requests four, five
or six requests per day for different locations in the City that met the boards standards and would be eligible
for the lottery. I could go back and look and see how many of those letters we sent, because we charged a
zoning application fee for each one because it takes work. It takes work for us to put those out.
Mayor _Mason: Correct me if I an:, wrong, please. The reas9n they were submitting e_ach business interest
was submitting more than one location, because that became a separate ball.
Matthew Schley: Yes.
Mayor Mason: So they weren't just putting all their money so to speak on one location, they were doing a
lot of locations. That is why I was stunned when Coshocton County got another medical marijuana and we
got none. So, we have people in Zanesville driving weekly to Coshocton, and that is not an easy route. If you
remember last year, was that Route 16 or Route 36 that was under construction and people had to go all the
way around to 541 or else State Route 93. State Route 93 is not, no not State Route 93, but State Route 83.
State Route 83 is a terrible way to get to Coshocton.
Matthew Schley: What we are looking at is we want to provide this service for our community. We want to
provide the opportunity for this service to operate in our community. We want to be business friendly, while
also insuring the proper rules and regulations are being enforced and these things are safe.
Mark Baker: Will the prospective business owners come, or do you imagine that they will come to you to get
clearance to make sure that the zoning requirements for the property is actually met before they go through
the process, I would assume.
Matthew Schley: They are required to have that from us to make that application.
Mark Baker: Okay so you have to sign up. Now, obviously, once they go through all of that then it is really a
done deal, as far as, allowing the business contingent on if they win the lottery.
Matthew Schley: Obviously, there is still back end work that needs to be done depending on what it is that
they are doing. If they are rehabbing a building, but it would be yes to that aspect that if they win the lottery
they would have the opportunity to open a dispensary and then the real work starts so to speak when they
have to work with us to get all of the development standards met.
Page 3 of 10
Mark Baker: Could you refresh my recollection as far as what some of the requirements from your zoning, as
far as, I mean, isn' t there like within 1,000 feet of schools?
Matthew Schley: Well, in this one, yes. On here we've got its 1,000 feet from schools, churches, public
libraries, public playgrounds, public parks, or community addiction service providers. So, that's a lot of
things.
Mark Baker: So that's not State Regulations. Those are additional regulations that we've imposed?
Matthew Schley: We are copying the state regulations.
Mark Baker: Oh, those are the state regulations that we are just sort of okay?
Matthew Schley: But we are going to look at as well, because it is always better to have more sets of eyes on
something than less. Right? So we may look at it and say well if that is a park right there you are looking at it
as a property, but 1,000 feet away or 500 feet away is actually as a park that may get missed, so it would be
so·mething like that. We will be taking a look at this pretty closely. Obviously, we want these businesses to
be successful, but we also want to protect our neighborhoods and communities.
Mark Baker: Sure. Does the committee members have anything else?
Todd Ware: Something that I would like to add to that anyway is even these folks that are putting in to get in
the lottery, they have to have a large, a very large, amount of money or a bond to even get into that pool. So
there is not just anybody that is getting in that pool. I wish I had that kind of money to get in that pool.
Mark Baker: How does that, is that a practical consideration or a legal one? What is the bond that you are
talking about?
Todd Ware: What the state requires them to have a bond on their self to get into that lottery. They have to
show that they have the financial assets to support the requirements.
Mark Baker: I would assume it is the same thing as a liquor license, is it not? More or less?
Matthew Schley: It is not the same, but that's two different entities over see it. The Board of Pharmacology
as marijuana and the Department of Commerce is liquor.
Todd Ware: By the way, Cambridge has one too, now.
Mark Baker: One what? A dispensary? Okay.
Todd Ware: Oh, They have two now in Cambridge? I didn't know that.
Mayor Mason: Where are they located?
Todd Ware : I know there is like a community center or a Civic Center right there as you are going and cut off
at the first exit?
Page 4 of 10
Karla Frye: At Pritchard Laughlin?
Todd Ware: On SR 40 right there by the State Trooper Barracks, or something there. It is on down a little bit.
Karla Frye: So just to clarify the procedure. You have your bond, they get a letter from you, they win the
lottery and they still have to go back to the Board of Zoning Appeals?
Matthew Schley: Yes.
Karla Frye : But, as I think somebody said at that point it would kind of be a done deal unless there some
crazy reason? Because they really have gone through the vetting process already.
Matthew Schley: Yes. They have met every standard possible.
Karla Frye: Okay, thank you.
Matthew Schley: Above and beyond what a normal, like what I would say what a bar would go through.
Karla Frye: I was going to say, we have gotten lots of liquor licenses when I was on the Board of Zoning
Appeals. People would get approval to have a Liquor License, but then they wouldn' t have to do anything or
they wouldn't do anything.
Matthew Schley: This is a pretty beefed up thing, but also it is allowing the business to happen, just
understand that there is a period of time where communities are able to pass laws that you are not allowed
to have this. So, we are trying to say, hey, listen we will work with you instead of it's not allowed.
Mark Baker: Okay. Is there anything else from the committee? Mr. Mayor, anything?
Mayor Mason: No, I am good.
Mark Baker: Matt?
Matthew Schley: I am good.
Mark Baker: Okay, hearing nothing else, I will entertain a motion to recommend Ordinance 2024-45 to
Council for adoption.
Mr. Ware: I so move.
Miss Bradshaw: I second.
Mr. Baker: I have a motion and a second. Those in favor of such a recommendation, please say aye. Those
opposed say nay.
The ayes have it so it will be recommended to Council.
Page 5 of 10
Mr. Baker: We have several discussion items tonight. 3. A. is Appalachian Community Grant Update.
3. DISCUSSION ITEMS:
A. Appalachian Community Grant Update
Matthew Schley: Well, I was hoping to walk in here with great news and be all excited, but I don't
have great news. The Mayor and I are still fairly optimistic about this. We have submitted, as many
of you know, we submitted an application through OMEGA which is our local development district
for an addition onto Secrest Auditorium to enhance it for ADA access which we desperately need
and some street scape. The library had a piece in that project, as well as, the Zanes State College.
We also had in another pod with the Ironton-Lawrence County Community Action Agency. We put
in for some additional improvements to some of our parks. Again, when it happened we were told
that an announcement would be made today on the funding. The only announcement that was
made was some funding for school based health care in schools throughout the Appalachian
Region. So, we are still waiting on whether or not we have been funded. Regardless, we are
pursuing additional opportunities for funding. We think that these projects we put forward are
good projects and there was always going to be a way to work on it. Sometimes, it just takes a little
longer. So, we are pursuing other avenues and we will let Council know where we are at when we
hear something.
Mark Baker: Are there any comments? Okay, hearing none, the AMLER Grant Update. Is that kind of
what you just talked about as well?
Matthew Schley: It is different. No, so this is actually the good news.
B. AMLER Grant Update
Matthew Schley: We have some good news in this. Actually the rest of this is good news. So, the
AMLER program, we applied to do improvements at Putnam Landing Park. We made an application
for $700,000 to rebuild the boat launch, fix up the parking, put in an overlook, fix some of the dock
and put the docks back in and a couple other pieces to that. Then we have been working on right
now we are getting ready to start design on that. That is a federal project from the Department of
Interiors. We have received word back from the Department of Natural Resources that the Federal
Government likes our proposal and that they are working up a grant agreement. So, our goal will be
to have design completed over the next three to six months just depending on how in depth it has
to go. We are hoping shorter. You never know. Engineers do crazy things and hopefully we will be
out to bid by the end of this year to get this park underway. It is desperately needed. So, right now
if you guys aren't familiar; maybe Todd is, but you can't easily launch a boat at Putnam Landing
Park, can you?
Todd Ware: Not at all.
Matthew Schley: Not at all. So what this will do is it will create a two lane boat launch and
technology has improved quite significantly that we won't even have to install a coffer dam which is
Page 6 of 10
a dam out in the river where you can do concrete and things like that. We will not have to do that.
So, at the end of the whole project Todd will be able to launch his boat out of there.
Mr. Ware: Thank you, I appreciate you guys.
Mayor Mason: Let's be clear. This will be the only publically available boat launch from the Y-Bridge
to Gaysport. I think if you go north of the Y-Bridge I don't know I think it is just Riverside.
Matthew Schley: Publically, yes. It is just Riverside.
Mayor Mason: That is significant.
Matthew Schley: The Zanesville Yacht Club has a boat launch but it is not public. It helps people, I
mean we want our river to be utilized for eco-tourism. That is a huge driver from when people
come to our community they go why aren't you taking advantage of this. Well, we do. We just need
new facilities. We need to update those facilities. So I am excited about this project. I can tell you
that w~ have made applications iri oh, God, this is the fifth g_rant application we went a_fter w·ith this
so we have three times prior, we were scored high enough, we were recommended for funding and
we weren't funded and now we were funded. So, we will continue to work on this and hopefully by
the end of this year you will see some dirt moving down at Putnam landing Park.
Mark Baker: I wonder how much eco-tourism counts for the budget of Marietta? I know that is
huge.
Matthew Schley: I will say years ago I lived in Marietta and I will say it is a very large portion of their
budget.
Mark Baker: Yeah, so it is nice to hear all of this news. Okay, is there anything else? let me see, the
CDBG 2023 update.
C. CDBG 2023 Update
Matthew Schley: Yes, so we got through our environmental assessments, so for those of you who don't
know, any time we do federal funding you have to do what is called Section 106 review. Basically, it is three
tiers. You either have to do a full blown assessment, you have to do a partial assessment or you are
categorically exempt. No matter what we do, if it involves construction they are going to say we have to do
a full-blown assessment. To refresh Council's memory, this is to install what we will call Tier 1 or Stage 1 of
a sidewalk project on Cliffwood Avenue. It will go about a third or just a little more than a third down
Cliffwood Avenue. We will replace the portions on the east side that need to be replaced and it will be a
whole new stretch of sidewalk on the west side. The project comes in, right now the engineer's estimate
have it at $194,000.00. It will be a cost of about $12,000.00 to the City of Zanesville and we have already
been approved to use Enterprise Funds from the Storm Water funds to make up that difference. So, in
reality, we are getting a large scale sidewalk project, sidewalks and curb, I should clarify and curb on that
stretch of Cliffwood. Which will be huge for that neighborhood. Right now, walkability and it will help to get
people down to Putnam Hill Park, help people get through and around into Chaps Run Park. So, we are very
excited about that. Our goal is to have that bid out here in the next 60 to 90 days. We have a little bit of
Page 7 of 10
design work we are finishing up in the 60 to 90 days we will have it out for bid and then our goal is to have
this project underway this year and completed this year.
Mark Baker: Okay. Is there anything? Okay, the Gant Stadium Playground Equipment update.
D. Gant Stadium Playground Equipment
Matthew Schley: So we applied to the Straker Foundation to install new playground equipment at Gant
Stadium. So, for any of you who were familiar with that, there was playground equipment there. That
playground equipment was very bad and very rusty.
Mayor Mason: I think it was old when I played football down there in the 1970's.
Mark Baker: Yes, I played on it as a kid too.
Matthew Schley: It was pretty rough. I mean it was pretty rough. So, last year we took all the playground
eql,lipment out and we said, alright we are going to work on a way to get the playground ·equipment back in
there. We worked with the Old Timers to figure out to make sure they were still good with that location.
They said, yes, of course. We've got, right now, we are looking at getting and we were just approved by the
Straker Foundation and we just received the funding from the Straker Foundation on Friday. So, at the next
Council meeting I will be bringing to Council legislation to purchase the playground equipment. We have a
good standard piece of equipment that we have kind of figured out as this is the third go around with the
Straker money. We get it from Marker Playgrounds, which is an Ohio based company. They use Snyder
Recreation which is our representative for that. They do a great job. They will have all that equipment
installed. They said it is about a 90 day lead time so realistically we will most likely not install it until after
the baseball season is complete. Not saying that we would ever interfere by installing or that the location
would ever interfere, but we would want to minimize any kind of interference possible so we are probably
looking at the fall to actually get this thing installed, but we will order it now and get everything prepped so
that way immediately following the season it will be ready to go. So, it is exciting. We are very thankful that
the Straker Foundation has funded us. They have really helped rebuild some of our parks and just for the
record, playground equipment is not cheap. It is about $100,000.00 is what we use every single time to
install this equipment.
Mayor Mason: Looking at Gant as a whole, again in 2025 you will see us discussing a girls' softball field
where the practice field is now if we can again fit it in presently where the overhead lights will be
addressing the main baseball field. We haven't decided which, but either a co-ed soccer field for adults or a
flag football field again for adults on what would be the far left field. The reason I said for adults in both
cases, and this won't surprise you, the fields are smaller than for youth and high school, because the adults
don't have the stamina (Laughter broke out) that high school soccer or flag football players have.
But, the idea is, I mean, we have to get younger people involved more in recreationally related activities
and not just merely, not that there is anything wrong about sitting around the bar drinking, but there are
other activities.
Matthew Schley: He is looking at me, like.
Page 8 of 10
Mayor Mason: There are other activities.
Matthew Schley: I don't know how I feel about that.
Mark Baker: I would love to read those minutes.
Matthew Schley: These will be some fun ones.
Mark Baker: And then Matt said. Okay, is there anything for that? I think we are glad to see Gant Stadium
doing as well as it is. CIC Housing Rehab Project Update is next.
E. CIC Housing Rehabilitation Project Update
Matthew Schley: I want to hold up the newspaper from today. So, I want to just highlight this and I want to
put some numbers behind this. So, last year the City Council authorized a transfer of $300,000.00 of ARPA
money to the CIC for the purposes of rehabilitating blighted homes. We took a plan that we had on the
shelf and the May_o r and I talk about this all .the time that it is importa_nt to plan for things even _if there is
not funding available or the pieces aren't quite there to at least plan for it, because then when an
opportunity arrives you can pull it off the shelf, dust it off, update it a little bit and get moving a lot faster.
So, obviously, not to rehash everything, but Court Ordered Transfers to the CIC of a number of properties
that were owned by John Kemp as part of a forfeiture. We have just completed the second one and that is a
pretty big milestone because we had the transfer of funds passed in about July of last year and we
immediately set to work. So from July to now we have been able to complete two homes in the southern
part of the city, in Putnam, a neighborhood that has been pretty severely impacted by a number of things
and to get these properties put back into productive use, not torn down, and actually create a process
where the CIC is now self-sustainable of doing this type of work and get the properties affordably in the
hands of first time home buyers. People who are going to benefit our community for the long term . So, this
home is at 1228 Putnam. I am going to send all of you, and Council at Large, and the Land Bank, as well,
because I think that is important a virtual tour of this house. We bid out the realtors, we bid out everything
on all of these of course; but we bid out the realtors this time. A gentleman named Curt Ragsdale is the one
who won the bid on it to market the property and sell the home for us. He put together a virtual tour so
everybody has an opportunity to see what the house looks like, to see the work we have done. We've just
also taken and started executing contracts on the next two: 423 Dryden and 404 Abington. 404 Abington
should stick out in everybody's mind if you have ever driven down Abington over the last 20ish years there
is a house on the corner of Abington and Ayers that has a big long red stair step in front. Unfortunately, the
stairs have to go away. They are rotted and they weren't built properly, but our goal is to have those two
houses under way and then once this house is sold at 1228 Putnam to start two more. So there is a
multiplying effect here. I just want to say out of, so far, the first two homes we spent just about
$120,000.00 or $130,000.00 to rehab them, which sounds like a lot of money, but to put it into perspective
that is going to help this neighborhood expeditiously.
Mayor Mason: That is for two houses?
Matthew Schley: That is for two houses. That is what we have spent. Ah, we have been able to come in and
we sell these at a market rate so we are not diluting the market. We are not, but we are not elevating, we
are not trying, we just need to break even on these things and we have been able to leverage that funding
Page 9 of 10
into, hopefully; enough to do two more houses. So, if we can continue on this we will be well on our way. I
just want to highlight that we use local contractors. We used local workers. We used local realtors. We used
every resource we possibly could and we are going to continue to do this. I just want to say thank you
because I think when I came here last year and said I would like to present an Ordinance to ask for
$300,000.00 I think some people may have thought I was a little crazy. Not, Mark, he doesn't look at me
like that; well, maybe. (Laughter broke out)
Mr. Baker: Well, I will tell you, this has been an ongoing problem ever since I got on Council many years ago
and it is just nice to see a long range plan of sustainability being implemented so that this carries forward
and hopefully, multiplies like you stated over the course of the long term. I think we all have seen these
sorts of blights in our own neighborhoods and it will be nice to see some of that being taken care of.
Mark Baker: Does the committee have anything? Okay. Is there anything for the good of the order? Is there
anything from the Committee members? Okay, seeing nothing, we will see you next meeting on when is
the next meeting? Do you have the next meeting date down there?
The Deputy Clerk: It will be April 2,2.
Mr. Baker: It will be April 22. We will see you then and I will entertain a motion to adjourn.
Ms. Frye: So moved.
Mr. Ware: Second.
Mr. Baker: Hearing a motion to adjourn and a second, those in favor of adjournment please say aye. Those
opposed say nay.
