Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The Milo-Grogan Neighborhood Plan applies to the Milo-Grogan Area Commission boundary, which is 11th Avenue and Conrail Railroad on the north, Conrail Railroad and St. Clair Avenue on the east, Conrail Railroad and I-670 on the south, and Conrail Railroad on the west. The planning process was initiated at the request of the Milo-Grogan Area Commission and began in October of 2005. An Advisory Group guided the formation of the Neighborhood Plan at regularly scheduled monthly public meetings. The Advisory Group was made up of residents, business owners, and other community members who had previously demonstrated a high level of involvement in the neighborhood. Issues, policies, and strategies were generated for urban design, land use, transportation, community facilities, and housing. In addition to the Advisory Group meetings, three Open Houses were held, in which the greater Milo-Grogan community was given an opportunity to provide input on the issues highlighted by the Advisory Group. Upon formation of a complete draft, it was presented to the Milo-Grogan Area Commission, and public input was taken for nearly two months. The majority of this input was then incorporated into the draft, which was presented to the Milo-Grogan Area Commission at its regularly scheduled November 14th, 2006 meeting and was unanimously recommended for adoption. The Development Commission reviewed the plan on November 16th and March 22 and unanimously voted to recommend its adoption by City Council.
