You are invited to take part in the development of the Northland I Area Plan. The Northland I Area Plan will provide updates and replace the 2001 Northland Plan - Volume I. The planning process was initiated at the request of the Northland Community Council and will take one year to complete. You can participate by attending Public Workshops or by submitting your ideas and comments to the plan website.

The Northland I planning area is located northeast of Downtown and just east of the city of Worthington and southwest of the city of Westerville. The planning area is generally bound by I-270 on the north and east, Cooke, Ferris, and Morse Roads on the south, and the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks and Huntley Road on the west. The area covers approximately 11,327 acres or 17.7 square miles.

An area plan provides policy guidance relative to land use, urban design, and development guidelines. It is based on a participatory planning process using consensus-based techniques and technical analysis. The plan will be reviewed by the Development Commission and adopted by City Council as formal city policy for this particular planning area.

This web page provides a variety of background material as the plan is developed.
