Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This legislation amends slightly the boundaries of the 5th By Northwest Area Commission by amending Ordinance 0491-2007. On April 11, 2007 City Council passed Ordinance # 491-2007 establishing the 5th By Northwest Area Commission. The commission's southern boundary is currently West Third Avenue. At the time of its creation, the intent of the commission's southern boundary was to include the south side of Third Avenue from Westwood Avenue eastward to Olentangy River Road.
Chapter 3111 of the City Code states that a commission area's boundaries are to be described by the centerline of natural or artificial boundaries. In this instance West Third Avenue is an artificial boundary (a street) and so therefore its 'centerline' is the current demarcation defining the 5th By Northwest Area Commission's southern boundary. This legislation will amend Chapter 3111.15 of the City Code defining the 5th By Northwest Area Commission's boundaries reflecting clearly its southern boundary as being the alley just south of West Third Avenue running eastward from the alley just west of Westwood Avenue to the railroad bridge over West Third Avenue. This legislation will also amend slightly the 5th By Northwest Area Commission's western boundary to include adjacent alleys paralleling King Avenue, Wyandotte Road and Glenn Avenue and correct an incorrect code section number.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No funding is required for this legislation.
