| New Planning Process Underway: Weinland Park Neighborhood Plan | |||||
| The City of Columbus (in association with the University Area Commission, Weinland Park Community Civic Association, OSU, and many others) is beginning the process to develop a neighborhood plan for Weinland Park (located just southeast of The Ohio State University: east of North High Street and north of East Fifth Avenue). Select the link to the right to learn more. | |||||

As an interim plan, this document is intended to provide guidance for development activity with the understanding that it may be updated as a result of multi-jurisdictional planning in this area of northwest Franklin County.
City Council's first reading of the Interim Hayden Run Corridor Plan was held on June 7, 2004. The plan is scheduled for consideration and a vote by City Council on June 14, 2004. |
|||||
|
|
|||||
| This plan has been prepared at the request of the Clintonville community, many of whose residents and business owners had expressed concern about the corridor's existing conditions and future prospects. Property owners on and around Indianola Avenue wanted a "blueprint" for the area that would provide direction and stimulate interest in the corridor. Columbus City Council adopted the plan on December 15, 2003. | |||||

|
|||||
| The
Planning Division met regularly with a steering committee, consisting
of representatives from a planning area in and near The Ohio State
University, to address important urban design issues.
The
plan recommends that the Regional Commercial Overlay (RCO) and a special
graphics control area be applied to Olentangy River Road from Lane
Avenue to West North Broadway. The intent of the RCO and special graphics control area is to create a safe, aesthetically pleasing, and pedestrian friendly atmosphere for the business and residential community along Olentangy River Road. These two mechanisms will ensure that new development and redevelopment along the corridor are built in a manner that will, overtime, create a cohesive and compatible built environment. These standards apply to all new development and redevelopment on parcels along Olentangy River Road. |

| Noe-Bixby Road Scenic Byway Overlay |
|
||||
| The Noe-Bixby Road area contains unique scenic and natural features and it is predominantly residential in character. The purpose of the Noe-Bixby Road Scenic Byway Overlay is to establish additional and specific zoning standards for that portion of Noe-Bixby Road north of East Main Street and south of East Broad Street and to protect the area from change that would diminish the aesthetic value of adjacent properties. | |||||
| The Southside Plan |
|
||||
| A planning committee of community stakeholders worked with city staff to identify issues and establish goals for the planning area (roughly between Frebis Avenue and State Route 104). As a result of their work, policies were written to address land use and zoning; housing and residential districts; commercial and industrial development; parks and recreational facilities; streets, traffic and circulation; sewers and storm water drainage; urban design and streetscape improvements; and historic resources/preservation. | |||||

|
|||||
|
This document is the
product of a public planning process involving stakeholders from
throughout the Franklinton community. Intended to serve as a
blueprint for future development and revitalization, the plan marks an
exciting time for Franklinton as completion of the floodwall removes the
community from the floodplain and lifts restrictions. |
|||||
|
|
|||||
|
This document is the product of a public planning process involving interested parties from throughout the community and is intended to serve as a blueprint for future development, redevelopment, and revitalization of the planning area bounded by S.R. 104 on the north, the railroad tracks west of Alum Creek Drive on the east, Williams Road on the south, and the railroad tracks east of Parsons Avenue on the west. The area incorporates the distinct neighborhoods of Marion-Franklin, Southfield, Greenhill Acres, Cambria Addition, and more. It was adopted by Columbus City Council on September 22, 2003.
[Note: Congratulations to Senior Planner Dave Hall, Graphic Designer Elsie Thomas, and others who contributed to this effort. This plan was chosen as the winner in the Comprehensive Planning -- Large Jurisdiction category for the 2003 Ohio Planning Conference (OPC) Planning Awards Program.]

| 2004 South Central Accord Amendment |
|
||||
|
Adopted in 1997 by the City of Columbus, Hamilton Township, and Franklin County, the South Central Accord provides guidance on land use and related issues for an area south of I-270. Early in 2003, development activity in the planning area led to a decision that additional direction was needed for residential land uses in the planning area. Columbus and Hamilton Township worked with a planning committee to develop a checklist addressing residential development. This checklist is intended to serve as an amendment to the Accord. It was adopted by Hamilton Township in December.
Columbus City Council endorsed the plan amendment at the March 1 meeting, and the amendment was endorsed by the Franklin County Commissioners at their March 3 meeting.

|
||||
|
The Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord is a joint initiative of the village of New Albany and the City of Columbus to establish long range guidelines for growth and development in northeast Franklin County. The Accord was adopted by Columbus and New Albany in 1997. Update: In response to changing circumstances in the area, Columbus and New Albany prepared an update to the document.

The Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord Implementation Panel approved the update on November 6, 2003 and it was endorsed by Columbus City Council on December 15, 2003. The Village of New Albany adopted the update on January 20, 2004. |

| Hellbranch Run Watershed Protection Overlay District Map |
|
||||
| A small portion of
the Darby Watershed, within the smaller Hellbranch Run Watershed, was not
included within the proposed environmentally sensitive development area (ESDA)
because of active development occurring in the area. At this time only
about 7% of the Hellbranch system has been developed within Columbus, but
development pressures continue. By acting now, we can be sure that new
development occurring inside the Hellbranch Run Watershed, but outside of the
ESDA, considers and minimizes environmental impacts. |
|||||
| Traditional Neighborhood Development Article |
|
||||
|
"Traditional Neighborhood Development" (TND) is an alternative to other zoning districts. It encourages a more compact, transit oriented, pedestrian friendly, mixed-use, and sustainable neighborhood (much like pre-1950 developments). The Traditional Neighborhood Development Article was adopted by City Council on May 21, 2001 and amended on November 11, 2002. |
