P&Z Says Yes to Bridge Street Corridor Development Code and Rezoning
Dublin, OH –The City of Dublin Planning & Zoning Commission voted tonight giving their nod of approval and recommendation to Dublin City Council to move forward with the Bridge Street Corridor proposed development code (7-0) and area rezoning (6-1). P&Z member Amy Kramb voted no on the area rezoning.
The Planning& Zoning Commission has spent the past several months reviewing and providing feedback and input to Dublin's Planning staff on the draft development code and area rezoning. The Bridge Street Corridor plan,which calls for the redevelopment of 1,000 acres located at the core of Dublin, is roughly defined by Sawmill Road, State Route 161 and the arc of Interstate 270.
The Bridge Street Corridor plan will transform Dublin's center into a mix of high density uses – an urban, walkable community that will include new options in housing, entertainment, retail and areas ripe for economic development. The plan responds to the shifting demographics and changing lifestyle demands of Gen Y and Baby Boomers, and will attract and retain the next generation of employees and businesses to Dublin.
Dublin City Council is scheduled to vote on the Bridge Street Corridor code and rezoning at their February 27th meeting.
