PRIORITY INITIATIVES
Initiative 23 | Regulations to Protect Natural Resource (Priority 11)
Strategy 23.1 Adopt land use regulations through zoning, earthworks,
subdivision regulations, and Public Works Department to protect natural
resources and promote the development of an integrated greenway system.
Strategy 23.2 Establish innovative development standards, subdivision
regulations, and land use policies that promote development patterns that
are sensitive to the topography, preserve open space, hillsides, and
greenways.
Initiative 24 | County Greenspace Plan (Priority 11)
Strategy 24.1 Develop a countywide greenspace plan with appropriate
development guidelines that include
Establishment of development guidelines for the protection of
environmentally sensitive areas and areas in proximity to protected
resources (buffer and transitional zones)
Implementation of programs to landscape and maintain interchanges and
community gateways
Development of an Ohio River Parks Plan that extends the entire length
of the county
Alignment of recommended policies and actions with other plans (e.g.
economic development plan, countywide growth plan, etc.)
Strategy 24.2 Encourage local jurisdictions to designate areas for
permanent protection as natural areas, passive recreation areas and active
recreation areas consistent with the Greenways Plan
Strategy 24.3 Encourage local funding sources to provide local match for
State and Federal dollars allocated to greenspace and natural resource
preservation.
Strategy 24.4 Encourage adoption of land use plans in each jurisdiction
that contain a sustainable growth component and seek to preserve
environmentally sensitive areas by ranking them and identifying viable
options and funding sources for their protection.
Strategy 24.5 Develop farm preservation program that includes grants
(Clean Ohio Funds plus other sources) for purchase of conservation
easements.
Strategy 24.6 Encourage communities to include pathways (bicycle and
pedestrian) as component of land use and greenspace planning.
Strategy 24.7 Enhance existing and encourage new public and private
education programs to generate environmental awareness.
Strategy 24.8 Encourage incentives for the protection of riparian
corridors including, but not limited to, the Great Miami, Whitewater,
Little Miami, and Ohio Rivers and Mill Creek.
Strategy 24.9 Encourage opportunities to restore overdeveloped and spoiled
environments.
Initiative 25 | Countywide Growth Plan
Strategy 25.1 Develop countywide growth plan from the perspective of the
central county within a metropolitan area.
Identify and inventory lands within existing communities and the urban
core that are suitable for new development and/or redevelopment
(in-coordination with plans for open space, infrastructure, etc.).
Create incentives that will promote the development of these identified
lands as viable alternatives to extending development into suburban
counties and rural areas.
Develop policies and incentives that attract industries and businesses,
which do not unduly compromise human health and are compatible with the
needs of new and existing neighborhoods and surrounding land uses.
Align recommended policies and actions with other plans (e.g., economic
development plan, green space plan, etc.)
Strategy 25.2 Lobby State to allow municipalities and townships the option
to assess impact fees.
Strategy 25.3 Determine ability of existing infrastructure and government
services to meet demands of growth.
Strategy 25.4 Create and implement local and countywide plans through
continuous and collaborative planning relationships with planning partners
in the public, private and civic sectors within a regional framework.
Strategy 25.5 Create a countywide development council/forum (perhaps as a
committee of the Planning Partnership) to enable a unified countywide
voice on growth and conservation issues in the County and in the region.
Strategy 25.6 Develop land use policies and model zoning ordinances that
include mixed-use development/town center development (such as housing,
services, employment, transportation, cultural and recreational
opportunities, greenspace, etc.)
Strategy 25.7 Promote compact development and mixed use zoning to use
infrastructure more efficiently
Initiative 26 | Pedestrian and Bike Friendly Communities
Strategy 26.1 Encourage communities to adopt land use plan that fosters
existing and future neighborhood/pedestrian development, creates areas
with multiple pedestrian-friendly destinations within walking distance,
and provides a variety of housing options.
Strategy 26.2 Encourage policies to establish pedestrian-friendly
commercial centers and encourage access management planning.
Strategy 26.3 Encourage adoption of context-sensitive design and policies
(such as noise reduction, traffic calming, etc.) to improve neighborhood
centers.
Strategy 26.4 Encourage subdivision regulations that interconnect streets,
bicycle paths, and walkways within a development and with adjoining
developments without promoting cut-through traffic.
Initiative 27 | Revitalization Including First Suburbs
Strategy 27.1 Encourage incentives for redevelopment
Identify areas that need particular investment (land uses or
transportation), prioritize, and establish county funding mechanism to
implement projects.
Develop local funding sources to provide local match for State and
Federal dollars allocated to brownfield cleanup and redevelopment.
Establish policies and programs for countywide investment, focusing on
older communities before less developed areas
Strategy 27.2 Promote changes in state and county funding criteria that
will establish priority in funding for upgrading existing infrastructure
Strategy 27.3 Examine governmental policies and programs, and propose
modifications where appropriate to support neighborhood business districts
Strategy 27.4 Emphasize revitalization in economic development efforts
Strategy 27.5 Encourage lobbying efforts that promote neighborhood
revitalization
Strategy 27.6 Evaluate and modify where necessary current investment
programs for commercial revitalization (e.g., business district
incentives, façade grants, small business loans) and for residential
reinvestment (e.g. homeownership, land reutilization, home improvement),
incorporating a reward system for successful projects.
