West plan's details
A steering committee of local officials may approve a proposal next month to govern development and land use through 2020 in western Hamilton County.
The plan outlines a series of goals to be met along the way.
Annual goals:
• Municipalities and townships review individual land-use plans and designate more property for commercial and industrial development.
• Acquire and rezone at least 25 acres of land for parks and open space.
• Plant and maintain more trees along streets and on public and vacant property.
In 2000:
• Municipalities and townships have approved a “memorandum of understanding” pledging support for the regional plan.
• Impact study on an Ohio River bridge between Miami Township and Boone County is completed.
• Residential development of one unit per acre or higher density has begun in areas planned for sewer and water service.
• A program is established to preserve scenic roads and a new scenic corridor district.
In 2005:
• Between 2002 and 2005, complete high priority road improvements (as determined by the county engineer).
• Marketing studies and aggressive recruitment will have attracted new business and industry, already bringing in half of all new jobs expected in the region through 2020.
• School districts will have purchased 75 percent of the land they will need to accommodate growth through 2010.
• Municipalities and townships will have acquired and permanently set aside 500 acres of open space land; and 500 acres of contiguous environmentally sensitive land.
• Half of priority agricultural land is still in active production.
• New septic system failures are decreased by 10 percent.
• Sidewalks are built in all new residential developments of one unit per acre or higher density.
• A park or other recreational facility is within mile of 80 percent of all new homes.
• Ten percent of shopping centers within “priority areas” will have refurbished facades and signs.
In 2010:
• Storm-water management standards are revised to reduce floods.
• A connected network of streams and buffers is identified to protect environmentally sensitive areas and wildlife habitat.
