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. By this ordinance, City Council determines that the petition to expand the Authority complies with the requirements of Section 349.03 of the Ohio Revised Code and fixes the time and place for a hearing on the petition.
Emergency action is required to allow the Jeffrey Place New Community Authority to obtain the approval of City Council in a timely manner.
