After the community successfully thwarted a proposed development on the site of an urban garden, city officials are looking to protect gardens citywide with a new zoning designation.
"When a real estate development was proposed to be built on a community garden on West 45th Street near Franklin Boulevard, the only recourse the community had was to band together and fight it.
But it, and hundreds of other urban gardens scattered throughout Cleveland, can be protected from development if a new zoning classification is approved by City Council. An ordinance to make the Urban Gardening District law was introduced to council this week. If passed, it may be the first such zoning classification in the country."
