County Planning worked with the City of South Euclid to create a Mixed-Use Transit-Oriented Development (MU-TOD) Zoning District, effectively establishing a transit-friendly downtown hub where future redevelopment will be a dense, walkable mix of offices, retail, entertainment, and residential living.
South Euclid MU-TOD Zoning Code Update
The South Euclid Mixed-Use Transit-Oriented Development Zoning Code Update was adopted by South Euclid City Council in May 2025.
Adopted by South Euclid in May 2025, the MU-TOD Zone will guide development and redevelopment in key targeted commercial areas where a mix of uses and a diversity of housing types could expand mobility options, promote transit use, and deliver walkable, pedestrian-focused neighborhood development. The MU-TOD Zoning District allows for flexibility to enhance any commercial district citywide and could be applied along transit corridors where appropriate.
The MU-TOD Zone will take the place of the Mayfield-Green (M-G) Zoning District, which serves as the city’s downtown commercial area and is located along transit corridors suitable for higher-density, mixed-use, and pedestrian-friendly development. The South Euclid Planning Commission will use the MU-TOD zoning code regulations in its role to review proposed developments in the district.
The MU-TOD Zone offers more appropriate, less automobile-centric regulations aligned with County Planning’s best practices for TOD. For example, the zoning district allows for reductions to parking minimums where appropriate. The regular review of standard development items such as building setbacks, building orientation, waste disposal, landscaping, parking lot screening, driveway locations, etc. will continue as expected using these updated standards.
