Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Fifth by Northwest Neighborhood Plan is the first city plan for the area generally bounded by Third Avenue on the south, Glenn/Wyandotte/Northstar Roads on the west, Kinnear Road on the north, and Kenny/Olentangy River Road on the east. The plan was initiated at the request of the Fifth by Northwest Area Commission. A Working Committee consisting of various stakeholders in the neighborhood was appointed by the Area Commission and guided the planning process.

On December 9, 2008, the Fifth by Northwest Area Commission unanimously voted to recommend the draft to the City Development Commission. The Development Commission reviewed the plan on January 22, 2009 and unanimously voted to recommend its adoption to City Council.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
