BA20-008
Background:
A boundary adjustment between the City of Columbus and the City of Upper Arlington has been proposed. The site is on Lane Avenue, east of North Star Road and consists entirely of the right of way. The proposed adjustment moves the City of Columbus corporate boundary slightly eastward, to exclude the right of way. The transfer will place the entirety of the right of way along this span of Lane Avenue within the City of Upper Arlington. This legislation is being filed in response to the provisions of the Ohio Revised Code - section 709.37 regarding municipal boundary adjustments. Parallel legislation is being submitted to Upper Arlington City Council. Columbus approval will allow the adjustment proposal to be submitted to Franklin County for finalization.
Fiscal Impact:
None
