The Westland Plan is an cooperative effort between the Westland Area Commission and the City of Columbus Planning Division to provide guidelines for decisionmaking concerning the Westland area. A planning committee representing a board range of public and private interests worked together to develop the plan.

The Westland planning area is bounded by the Conrail tracks on the north, Big Run Road o the south, Interstate 270 on the east, and the Hellbanch Run on the west.

The Westland Plan is a tool to ensure development and a proper mix of residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, and recreation/open spac land uses.
