Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Jeffrey Place New Community Authority was created by City Council in 2004 to assist with the redevelopment of the 43 acre former Jeffrey Mining site located at the northeast corner of 4th Street and I-670. The developer of that property and the former Columbus Coated Fabrics site in Weinland Park have petitioned City Council to add the Columbus Coated Fabrics site to the Authority to assist with the redevelopment of that property as well. City Council, pursuant to its Ordinance No. 1231-2017, has previously approved the form of that expansion petition and held a public hearing on the expansion of the Authority. By this ordinance, City Council approves the expansion of the Authority and determines that the expansion of the Authority will be conducive to the public health, safety, convenience and welfare, will be consistent with the development of the new community envisioned by the original petition for the formation of the Authority, will not jeopardize the plan of that new community, and is intended to result in the development of the expanded new community.
This legislation will go emergency to allow the Jeffrey Place New Community Authority to conduct business in a timely manner.
FISCAL IMPACT: No funding is required for this legislation.
