Establishes long-range guidelines to manage future growth and development in the South Central portion of Franklin County. A joint plan with Hamilton Township, this plan includes recommendations for land use, natural resources, transportation, public facilities and services and historic preservation and is reflective of community interests and in compliance with the Columbus Comprehensive Plan.
The planning area is generally bounded by: Interstate 270 on the north; and the Hamilton Township lines on the east, south and west, excluding Lockbourne, Groveport, Obetz and the territory to be serviced by Obetz.
Early in 2003, development activity in the planning area led to a decision that additional direction was needed for residential land uses in the planning area. Columbus and Hamilton Township worked with a planning committee to develop a checklist addressing residential development. This checklist is intended to serve as an amendment to the Accord. It was adopted by Hamilton Township in December 2003.
Columbus City Council endorsed the plan amendment at the March 1, 2004 meeting, and the amendment was endorsed by the Franklin County Commissioners at their March 3, 2004 meeting.
