The Columbus Planning Division is working with the University Area Commission and other stakeholders on the development of a University District Plan.
The University District Plan will update and replace the existing University Neighborhoods Revitalization Plan (1996) and other planning documents for the University District. The planning area boundary is Fifth Avenue on the south, the Olentangy River on the west, the Glen Echo Ravine on the north, and the railroad tracks on the east. The Plan will include a land use plan, design guidelines for future commercial and residential development, and identify capital improvements for the neighborhood.
Please visit the project website for the latest draft and final proposed edits to the plan at http://www.columbus.gov/universitydistrictplan.
It is the intention of the Planning Division to initiate the plan adoption process later this winter. This will include the consideration of the draft plan by the University Area Review Board, University Area Commission, Columbus Development Commission, and ultimately City Council.
