Welcome to the City of Solon approval process. This guide is to help you understand both the application and approval process for land uses within the City. Currently we have 2 approval bodies that you may need to get approval from before your project starts. It is the goal of the City to work with you throughout the process. If at any time you have questions please feel free to call the Planning Department at 440-349-6327. Remember that the staff is here to assist you in every step of the process.
