Dublin’s Community Plan Receives Awards

Ohio Chapter ASLA Awards

On November 6, 2009, the 2007 Dublin Community Plan was awarded an Award of Excellence from the Ohio Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects at its statewide reception.  The Award of Excellence is the highest award granted by the professional association and “...recognizes excellent professional achievement in projects which epitomizes the ingenuity, originality and functionality of the profession of landscape architecture.” Of 31 entries and eleven awards granted by this year’s jury, the City of Dublin received the only award in the Excellence category.

APA Ohio Planning Conference Awards

On September 25, 2009, the City of Dublin received an Ohio Planning Conference Award in the category of comprehensive planning for the 2007 Dublin Community Plan.  The award was one of only five statewide honors conferred by the awards jury at the annual statewide conference.  The awards committee noted that Dublin’s Community Plan and process was highly transferrable to other communities and sets “the gold standard.”   Jurists also noted that “the quality and the comprehensive scope of the plan was phenomenal.”

Zoning Code User Survey

The City of Dublin is currently updating its Zoning Code and would like your input! The Zoning Code plays a central role in how we develop and grow as a community.
Please take a few minutes to complete our Zoning User Code Survey. It will help us improve the format and organization of the Code as well as resolve any provisions that may be unclear, conflicting or ineffective.

As part of filling out this survey, you will also be given a chance to express your interest in participating in future meetings or discussions. The City thanks you for your participation.

Multi-Modal Transportation Study

Since May, Land Use and Long Range Planning has been conducting preliminary work to undertake a Multi-Modal Transportation Study (MMTS) to evaluate both traditional and alternative transportation modes. The MMTS is intended to build on the City Council’s 2008 Goal stating: “Evaluate multiple modes of transportation, such as bike lanes and public transportation, for possible implementation in future capital improvement programs."

Work Units

Steve Langworthy, Director

The Mission of Land Use and Long Range Planning is to provide professional and technical expertise to guide the land use decisions of public officials, residents, and the development community.  We engage our citizens to establish and realize a long range vision for Dublin’s land use and development character. We facilitate the zoning process through the implementation of the Community Plan and the administration and enforcement of the City’s land use codes.

Land Use and Long Range Planning is made up of 3 Teams who work together to accomplish the City’s vision and to ensure that the highest development standards are implemented throughout the community.
