Explanation
BACKGROUND:The Indianola Avenue Corridor Plan was initiated in response to concerns from the Clintonville community about the current conditions of the corridor and its future prospects. The Plan is the result of a public planning process facilitated by the city of Columbus Planning Division. Stakeholders from the corridor and greater Clintonville community provided input and direction throughout the planning process. In addition, the city was assisted by a consultant team, which provided urban design and marketing expertise.
The planning process began with a community design workshop. Next, a planning committee was established to help guide and direct plan development. During this phase, the consultants analyzed current conditions and prepared a market study. Plan development concluded with the formation of recommendations and policies for the corridor. These plan provisions address development opportunities, streetscape improvements, and future land use. In addition, the plan outlines action steps for plan implementation.
The plan has been reviewed by all relevant city departments/divisions. As part of the review process, the draft plan was presented to the community-at-large at a public open house on October 23, 2003. The plan has received endorsement from Clintonville Incorporated, the Clintonville Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Clintonville Area Commission. The plan has also received endorsement from the city of Columbus Development Commission, which voted on the plan on November 20, 2003.
FISCAL IMPACT: No funding is required for this legislation.
