Explanation
BACKGROUND: This plan was initiated at the request of the Clintonville Area Commission (CAC) and covers the entire area represented by the commission. Consideration was given during the plan's development to earlier planning work - the 1999 High Street Market Study and 2003 Indianola Avenue Corridor Plan. This plan supersedes and replaces those plans and any other previous plans for the area. The planning process included data gathering and analysis, consideration of alternative concepts, consensus through community participation, plan preparation, and plan implementation. A Working Committee consisting of neighborhood stakeholders representing each of the nine commission districts was appointed by the CAC in January 2008 to provide input and guidance. Three public workshops were held during the plan's development and a public open house was also conducted to gather input on the completed draft. On December 4, 2008, the Clintonville Area Commission voted to recommend the draft to the City Development Commission. The Development Commission reviewed the plan on January 22, 2009 and unanimously voted to recommend its adoption to City Council.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
