Toledo Blade Center Special Exception

Description

Impact summary

The City Commission denied it on Apr 21, 2026.

The project would have added 155 multi-family units while retaining a 5.63-acre commercial frontage, but was denied over concerns about reducing commercial land and comprehensive plan consistency.
