CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio – Buffalo Wild Wings is looking to open a new location in Cleveland Heights.

Owners want to open the sports bar and casual dining restaurant on Cedar Road near Fairmount Boulevard in the former MYXX location.

The Cleveland Heights Planning Commission will consider Buffalo Wild Wings' request for a conditional use permit during a meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

The plans include 40 seats for outdoor dining on two covered patios at the rear of the building located at 12459 Cedar Road. Richard Wong, the city's director of planning and development, said any restaurant that offers an outdoor dining option must apply for a conditional use permit.

"After zoning approval is received, they will apply for a building permit and Architectural Board of Review for exterior changes," Wong said.

MYXX had been open for nearly a year when Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Daniel Gaul ordered owners to shut down operations in October 2012. Cleveland Heights City Council had declared MYXX a nuisance after a rash of criminal activity was reported at and near the establishment, including aggravated rioting, assault of a police officer, underage consumption, open containers, excessively loud music, disorderly conduct and public urination.

Prior to that, the building was home to Jillian's billiards club.

In addition to the outdoor dining option, plans for the Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant include 281 indoor seats - for 123 people in the bar area and 118 additional seats in the dining room.

According to Cleveland Heights Mayor Ed Kelley, Buffalo Wild Wings previously had a location above the Coventry Theater. The restaurant closed approximately eight years ago after being in business for more than a decade.

"They were good for the community then and they'll be good for the community now," Kelley said. "We certainly would welcome them back. They are going to bring in employees and help our tax base."

Buffalo Wild Wings has several northeast Ohio locations, including Avon Lake, Elyria, Fairview Park, Lyndhurst, Medina, Streetsboro, Strongsville and Warrensville Heights.

Wong said restaurant owners hope to open the new location in March. A representative from Buffalo Wild Wings could not be reached for comment.
