PERRYSBURG – Plans for a Costco store will be reviewed this month now that the city has received a final
version of the proposal.
The plan, received by the city Friday and released Monday, has no changes from an updated preliminary
plan last month and shows a gas line being rerouted from underneath the parking lot.
Negotiations between Costco and Columbia Gas Transmission delayed the project from being considered for
an OK from the Planning Commission, as well as a special approval use to be decided by city council,
both of which are required before the wholesale store can be built.
Planning Commission voted 5-2 for preliminary approval in November, with conditions for several changes
being met since. Costco’s signage plan would still need to be approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals.

Future meetings on the project will be: 5:30 p.m. March 20, Planning and Zoning Committee of City
Council; 6:30 p.m. March 25, City Council; and 7 p.m. March 27, Planning Commission.
