Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Weinland Park Neighborhood Plan was developed to guide future public and private investments and programs for the planning area bounded roughly by Chittenden Avenue on the north, the CSX railroad adjacent to Interstate 71 on the east, East Fifth Avenue on the south, and North High Street on the west. The plan offers guidance on housing; land use, development, and redevelopment; economic and workforce development; public safety; public infrastructure; human and social services; and community involvement. The Plan will be used as a principal reference document by city divisions and departments, developers, community representatives, Columbus Development Commission, and Columbus City Council when making decisions concerning the planning area.

Planning Division staff members and a consultant team worked with a Working Committee and five subcommittees consisting of area stakeholders to identify, analyze, and address specific issues impacting the planning area currently and in the future.

An ambitious community involvement process was an integral part of the planning process and included two neighborhood planning workshops, displays and discussions at other community events, and a public hearing sponsored by the University Area Commission, which endorsed the plan on May 17, 2006. Additionally, the Development Commission endorsed the Plan on June 22, 2006.

FISCAL IMPACT: No funding is required for this legislation.
