ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT

Land use planning improves communities by empowering residents to collectively envision their future.

The planning process involves identifying cur-rent conditions, creating a vision for the future and developing ways to achieve that vision.

About the Blacklick-Madison Area Plan

The Blacklick-Madison Area Plan focuses on the unincorporated territory within the planning area boundaries described below, outside of municipal jurisdictions. The planning process is divided into four phases: information gather-ing, creating a vision, developing policies and assembling the plan.

Community Vision

This document contains the Community Vision, a collection of statements and maps that sets forth the desired future of the planing area.

We developed this vision using information gathered from stakeholder interviews, an online survey and a public input meeting held on September 27, 2010.

Planning Area Boundaries

The planning area is located in southeastern Franklin County approximately fi ve miles from downtown Columbus. It includes all of Madison

Township, except the areas south of Rohr Road and west of Pontius Road, plus the portion of Truro Township south of Refugee Road.

The unincorporated area is approximately 20 square miles or 12,839 acres.

Next steps

We will conduct a public meeting to gather input on the proposed community vision.

Once the community agrees on a vision, the project team will develop proposed policies and actions to achieve that vision.

Public meetings allow community mem-bers to provide input on their com-munity’s future. For the purposes of

the Blacklick-Madison Area Plan, the future includes how land is used, how buildings look and how people get around.

First public meeting

The fi rst of four Blacklick-Madison Area Plan public meetings was held on September 27, 2010 at Asbury United Methodist Church South, 4760 Winchester Pike.

Over 70 residents, property owners, business representatives and other interested individuals attended the meeting.

Gathering input

After a brief presentation by the project team, meeting attendees were divided into four groups according to geographic area: Blacklick Estates, Edgewater Park/Marwick Estates, Central Madison and South Madison.

The project team conducted the following three exercises to gather detailed feedback from participants.1. Feedback form: Each attendee fi lled out

a form, composed of two types of ques-tions: questions to answer on a scale from

strongly agree to strongly disagree and open-ended questions asking attendees to indicate their general likes and dislikes about the community.

2. Group discussion: Within the small groups, attendees discussed their likes and dislikes. Participants then grouped their comments according to topic area, to see which likes and dislikes were most common.

3. Favorite places maps: For the fi nal exercise, attendees placed green and red dots on a map to indicate their top three favorite and least favorite places.

Those unable to attend the public meeting could complete an online survey. The survey questions mirrored those on the public meeting feedback form.

Using the results

Results from the meeting and the online survey are used to establish a community vision for the future. After understanding what people like, and what they want changed, we develop poli-cies and actions to achieve that vision.

The proposed vision for the future will be presented at the next public meeting, where we will gather more feedback.

FAVORITE PLACESMAPS AND COMMENTS

About the exercise

At our large-scale public meeting in September 2010 we conducted a mapping exercise to gain an understanding of how attendees feel about their community. During the exercise attendees placed colored dots on a map to indicate their favorite and least favorite places in and around their community.

The results

We determined the community’s overall favorite and least favorite places by identifying the loca-tions with the most dots. The following pages contain the exercise’s results.

FEEDBACK FORMS

About the Feedback Forms

At our public meeting in September 2010 we asked participants to complete a feedback form to gain an understanding of how the community feels about various topics. The feedback form’s topics included land use, environment, commu-nity identity and transportation.

The feedback forms contained questions to answer on a fi ve-point scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree. Questions requiring written responses asked respondents what they like and dislike in their neighborhoods and in commer-cial areas.

The results

Results of the feedback forms are on the fol-lowing pages. In addition to the graphs, we also list written and oral comments provided by attendees.

Topic areas

Responses are sorted by the topic areas below:

Land Use: Residential, p. 14

DRAFT 1/28/11 15:44

In general

Respondents report a suffi cient range of housing options and do not want more residential devel-opment. They want to see all or most farmland preserved.

If residential development occurs, respondents prefer single-family homes over condos, town-homes and apartments.

The only exception was found in Blacklick Estates. Respondents here are dissatisfi ed with the available housing options, do not want to see more homes built and have no opinion about preserving farmland. If development does occur they want a mix of single-family homes, condos and townhomes.

In general

Respondents reported that walking around their neighborhoods is easy, whether there are sidewalks or not. Walking to commercial areas is diffi cult due to a lack of sidewalks.

By area

Edgewater Park / Marwick Estates: A lack of sidewalks, heavy traffi c and high vehicle speeds along Hamilton Road and Winchester Pike makes walking to commercial areas diffi cult.

Blacklick Estates: Gaps in sidewalks along Noe-Bixby, Chatterton, and Hamilton Roads make walking through commercial areas diffi cult and

unsafe. Sidewalks along residential streets make walking safer.

Central Madison: Walking along residential streets is easy despite a lack of sidewalks. Walking to commercial areas is impractical due to long distances and a lack of sidewalks. A lack of sidewalks also makes walking along major roads diffi cult.

By area

Edgewater Park / Marwick Estates: Respon-dents desire a connection to the nearby Alum Creek Trail.

Blacklick Estates: A lack of bicycle trail con-nections to the Blacklick Creek Trail frustrates respondents. More than one-third of respondents fi nd it diffi cult to reach trails.

Page 23: BLACKLICK-MADISON · 2017. 5. 22. · by empowering residents to collectively envision their future. The planning process involves identifying cur-rent conditions, creating a vision

This section contains the proposed Com-munity Vision, a collection of statements and maps that sets forth the community’s

desired future.

We prepared the vision using information gath-ered from stakeholder interviews, a public input meeting and an online survey.

The Community Vision has two components, vision statements and vision maps.

Note: This draft vision is subject to change based on working committee input and feedback from the January 2011 public meeting.

Vision Statements

The vision statements describe the community’s desired future in words. Statements are divided into topic areas and further subdivided to give more detail.

Vision Maps

The maps show the community’s future graphi-cally in four specifi c topic areas:

Land use map: In general, the types of land uses the community wants to see and where they want them.

Bikeways map: Locations of future paths and on-pavement treatments to make bicycling safer and more convenient.

Sidewalk priorities map: The community’s top priorities for installing new sidewalks. The map shows the desired locations and their relative priority to one another.

Roadway improvement map: Locations of com-munity desired roadway improvements includ-ing repaving and traffi c control.

Next steps

After review by the working committee, we will conduct a public meeting to gather input on the proposed community vision.

The project team uses the agreed-upon com-munity vision to develop proposed policies and actions to achieve that vision.

DRAFT 1/28/11 15:44

Vision for Land Use

Types of uses: A range of uses that supports and respects current areas, preserves agricultural and residential character, effi ciently uses infrastruc-ture and supports mixed use areas.

This vision promotes confi dence that an area’s character will not substantially change while promoting infi ll development in appropriate locations to support nearby residents and areas.

Development character/appearance: Appro-priate residential development that maintains neighborhood character. Attractive commercial development that promotes lasting economic growth.

Vision for Healthy Living

An environment that promotes accessibility and physical activity, clean air, land stewardship and healthy eating to benefi t overall community health.

Parks and recreation: A parks and recreation system accessible to all, providing opportuni-ties for physical activity and enjoyment of the natural environment.

Development: Healthy and accessible develop-ments that have minimal impact on the natural environment.

Natural environment: A natural environment that provides clean water, open space and wildlife habitat.

Fresh, local foods: A local food system that encourages healthy eating and preserves land for agriculture.

Vision for Community

An inclusive community with a sense of pride and identity that provides public space for com-munity activities.

Community Identity: An identity in residen-tial and commercial areas that builds pride

in the community, encouraging community involvement.

Housing: A variety of housing that provides options for all people and promotes a sense of inclusiveness in the community.

Public spaces: Safe, well-maintained public spaces that promote community pride and encourage residents to interact.

Vision for Transportation

A complete transportation system that allows safe and easy travel by foot, bicycle, transit and car.

Foot: A well-maintained pedestrian network in built-up areas. This allows residents to reach nearby destinations without the need for a car and promotes a healthy lifestyle.

Bicycle: A complete bicycle network for recreation and transportation. This provides a transportation option to those without access to other methods of travel and to those that desire physical activity.

Transit: A transit network offering riders suf-fi cient destinations with bus stops to increase ridership. This provides a low-cost transporta-tion option for those without access to other methods of travel and to those that wish to reduce traffi c congestion.

Car: A well-maintained road network with convenient access to major roads and appropri-ate traffi c controls for safety. This promotes eco-nomic stability by allowing workers, customers and goods to move effi ciently.

About the maps

The maps in this section refl ect visions for the future: what land uses people want to see, how people travel by foot and bicycle, and where road improvements are needed.

Land Use map

What it is: The future land use map is part of the Community Vision. The map shows, in general, what types of land uses the community wants to see in the future.

How it’s used: Most often, the future land use map is used when a landowner proposes new development or redevelopment. If the proposal requires a rezoning or zoning variance, offi -cials reviewing the proposal can see whether it matches what the community wants.

Why we need it: Including a future land use map allows residents to communicate their land use opinions to appointed and elected offi cials making zoning decisions. By participating in the community vision, residents can weigh in on future development without attending numerous public hearings.

Bikeways map

What it is: The bikeways map shows loca-tions of current and proposed bikeways in the planning area. The proposed bikeways connect residents to existing and planned bikeways.

Why we need it: It is critical to plan for bike-ways on a region-wide basis since bikeways allow people to cover large distances.

Sidewalk priorities

What it is: The sidewalk priorities map shows the community’s stated desires for new side-walks. Sidewalks keep people safe, promote fi tness, reduce traffi c congestion and increase pedestrian traffi c for businesses.

Why we need it: Installing sidewalks costs money. Realizing that funds are limited, the sidewalks map prioritizes where sidewalks would be most benefi cial. Primary priorities are sidewalks that should be installed fi rst. Second-ary priorities should be installed after all the primary priorities are installed. Sidewalks on the priority list should be installed any time a new development or substantial redevelopment occurs.

Roadway improvement map

What it is: The roadway improvement map shows locations where the community desires improvements such as repaving, intersection realignments, and stop signs or stop lights.

Why we need it: Informing township and county governments where upgrades are desired can help direct funding to these locations.

Chatterton Road and Noe-Bixby Road Commercial

The intersection will continue to serve as a commercial activity center. Redevelopment of existing commercial uses should include attractive facades and signage. A wide range of commercial uses will serve neighborhood residents and the wider community. Multi-unit residential development is permitted. Buildings should feature mixed use of commercial and residential uses.

Commercial uses at the intersection’s northeast corner should be limited in range and respect the residential development to the north. Uses at the intersection’s southeast corner may be a wider range as the cemetery provides a buffer to residential uses.

Noe-Bixby Road and Sedalia Drive Commercial

Commercial uses at the intersection will serve the everyday needs of neighborhood residents. Buildings will be appropriately sized to comple-ment the neighborhood’s character.

Noe-Bixby Road Offi ce and High Density Residential

Developing offi ce and residential uses in this area will effi ciently use land near existing road, water and sewer infrastructure. Developing near existing infrastructure reduces the cost of development and prevents sprawl into undevel-oped areas.

Hamilton Road Commercial

Hamilton Road should serve as an attractive commercial corridor for the township, comple-menting commercial development south of Win-chester Pike. A wide range of commercial and residential uses will serve residents in Blacklick Estates, Edgewater Park and the surrounding area. Multi-unit residential uses currently exist nearby and should continue.

Groveport-Madison school sites

School sites no longer used for education should be converted to recreational facilities or com-munity gathering places. Residents stated a need for such facilities and children currently use school sites for recreation.

Winchester Pike Offi ce and Residential

Development between Courtright Road and Interstate 270 should provide a buffer to exist-ing residential uses by placing buildings close to the road. Building height along Courtright Road should be limited to 2 stories while building height along Winchester Pike and Interstate 270 may be 3 stories. These building heights will reduce visual impacts to nearby residents.

Winchester Pike Light Industrial and Offi ce

The site is suitable for light industrial and offi ce uses with existing buffers provided by Interstate 270 and Big Walnut Creek. An electric transmis-

sion line crosses the site and must be taken into consideration prior to development.

Winchester Pike Commercial

Commercial uses should provide services to meet the everyday needs of nearby residents. Building height should be a maximum of 2 stories and be constructed close to Winchester Pike. This will provide a buffer and reduce visual impacts to existing residential uses.

U.S. Route 33 and Bixby Road

Land use recommendations assume the con-struction of the proposed interchange and adjacent road improvements. Concentrated development near the proposed interchange will effi ciently use infrastructure and limit impacts to residential and agricultural uses.

Recommendations intend to complement nearby Columbus land use plans. This helps ensure a uniform and consistent appearance.

A signifi cant amount of fl oodplain exists south and west of the proposed interchange. Develop-ment should include innovative stormwater management techniques to prevent increased fl ooding to nearby residents. Buildings should

be designed to provide fl ood protection while limiting fl oodplain fi ll.

Residential uses are not encouraged in the area between Bixby Road and U.S. Route 33, east of the interchange. Offi ce uses in this area should be larger scale and visible from U.S. Route 33. A mix of retail, offi ce and residential uses are encouraged elsewhere. All development should incorporate high quality building design.

Sims Road Low Density Residential

The area between Sims Road and the railroad is impacted signifi cantly by fl oodplain. Agri-cultural uses should continue in this area to preserve fl oodplains.

Agricultural Uses

A large amount of land is currently used for agricultural purposes and residents desire to maintain the area’s rural character. Residential development proposals should strive to preserve farmland. Clustering housing is one way to preserve farmland.

This development technique keeps the total number of housing units permitted on a property the same as in a conventional subdivision. The technique preserves farmland by allowing those housing units to be built on smaller lots and dedicating the undeveloped area as farmland.

The ability of any particular property to cluster development on smaller lots depends on many

factors including the sites soil capability to treat waste.

Clustering development allows a property owner to make a reasonable return on their investment while meeting the community’s goal to preserve farmland.

Additional recommendations to preserve farmland in the area will be developed with community input.

Bikeways map

What it is: The bikeways map shows locations of existing and proposed bikeways. The propos-als support a bikeway network for transportation and recreation.

Why we need it: Since bikeways allow people to cover wide distances, communities plan for bikeways on a regional basis. This ensures we connect destinations for people living in the planning area and throughout central Ohio.In addition to Blacklick-Madison Area Plan bikeways recommenda-tions, the map contains information from these sources: Columbus Bicentennial Bikeways Plan, MORPC Regional Bikeways Plan, Metro Parks, Groveport Parks and Recreation, Canal Winchester Development Department and Pickerington Engineering Department.

The Franklin County Economic Develop-ment and Planning Department is partner-ing with the Neighborhood Design Center

to develop community identity features and site designs. Potential community identity-building feautures include gateway signs, street signs and lamppost signs. Locations for site design concepts were chosen based on input from the fi rst public meeting and stakeholder interviews.

Community identity

A consistent appearance within residential and commercial areas builds pride and ownership within a community.

Designs shown on the following pages are concepts for how identity-building features could appear in the community. Each option can identify specifi c neighborhoods while provid-ing a consistent design that ties the community together.

Site design

We developed alternative site designs for four locations. The concepts include various options for open space and building designs.

The concepts show how existing underutilized sites can be improved. The concepts will provide guidance if a development proposal requires a rezoning or zoning variance.

Next steps

We will present the community identity and site design concepts at the January 24, 2011 public meeting. The Neighborhood Design Center will update designs based on public input and present revised designs at the following public meeting.
