Mentor Planning Commission to Review Great Lakes Mall Renovation Plan Tonight

Mentor Planning Commission is scheduled to vote on a planned change to the reimaging of Great Lakes Mall's entrances during its meeting at 7 p.m. today in .

The commission already approved . However, the mall's plans for its doorways and accompanying signage have since changed slightly, so it requires a new vote from the commission.

The mall has already started by replacing the flooring in the concourse. Internal changes don't require a vote from the Planning Commission.

The mall's multimillion-dollar renovation includes:

• changing the mall's color scheme to warmer, earthier tones
• making the columns slimmer to improve shoppers' line of sight
• replacing the flooring with ceramic tile and carpeting
• renovating the food court with new lighting and banquet seating.

The commission is also scheduled to vote on the preliminary site plan for a manufacturing building on Tin Man Road.

After the meeting, the commission will have a work session to discuss possible amendments to the city's signage ordinance.

The agenda for tonight's Planning Commission meeting is attached to this story.
