Zoning change sought by ProMedica is denied

11/13/2008

FINDLAY The Marion Township Zoning Commission has denied a rezoning request for a ProMedica medical complex, although township trustees will have the final say on the matter when they meet Nov. 24.

The commission voted 5-2 Tuesday to deny Toledo s ProMedica Health System s application to rezone 25 acres along U.S. 224 east of Findlay from agricultural to general business.

While ProMedica has declined to say exactly what type of facility it would build, the zoning it is seeking would permit construction of a hospital.

The Hancock Regional Planning Commission last month recommended the land be rezoned to allow for medical offices, but not a hospital.
