While anyone will be able to submit designs to enter, Zamft said the city will likely pay for an architectural firm to take the winning entries and turn them into buildable options. Cleveland Heights Assistant Planning Director Karen Knittel said that many residents have expressed the desire for the units.
That all requires community buy-in, and Knittel and Zamft said that the city will involve the community at each step of the way.
