AKRON, Ohio – One year after Summit County began foreclosure proceedings against Chapel Hill Mall, the city of Akron is moving forward with plans to rezone the property with the hope developers can repurpose the mostly vacant structure and expansive parking lot.
City Council on Monday considered a zoning change for the mall at 2000 Brittain Road to go from a “retail business use district,” allowing for retail and residential use, to be a “unified planned development district,” which expands the zoning to also allow for some commercial use.
