Memo
To: Members of Dublin City Council
From: Dana L. McDaniel, City Manager
Date: October 9, 2019
Re: Resolution 57-19, Historic District Area Plan Update/Visioning Process
Summary
At its October 7, 2019, meeting, City Council directed staff to bring forward a Resolution to
establish a community Task Force. If authorized, this Task Force will conduct a Historic District
Area Plan Update/Visioning process. This effort is in keeping with Council strategic goal to pursue
the same.
The Resolution provides the duties, functions, duration, and composition of the Task Force. It also
authorizes the City Manager to enter into an Agreement with Heritage Ohio for its Downtown
Assessment Resource Team (D.A.R.T.) Visit. As previously discussed, this visit would bring to
Dublin others from around Ohio with experience in preservation and creating economic vitality in
downtown settings. Staff is of the opinion that the D.A.R.T. Visit, executed at the beginning of the
Task Force's effort, will be most helpful. This visit will provide some quick perspectives from
outside experiences, gather the Task Force for their input and provide them information about
working on downtown preservation and economic vitality, among other things, and facilitate a
community -wide input session. This initial visit, input and assessment will result in a report to the
Task Force with recommendations for consideration. This, along with the existing Historic District
Area Plan within the 2007 Community Plan should provide a great starting point for the Task
Force.
Background
Dublin City Councils have often used community-based Task Forces to assist with numerous topics
and issues facing the City and with great success. A Task Force provides a means of developing
expertise in a focused area, obtaining community -wide input, and providing recommendations to
City Council in relatively short order.
The 2007 and 2013 Community Plans incorporate overarching character themes, financial
information, area plans, and other guiding principles for the planning and future development of
the City. The 2007 Community Plan more specifically addresses the Historic District as an Area
Plan, whereas the 2013 Community Plan incorporated the Historic District as part of the overall
Bridge Street District. The Historic District Area Plan within the 2007 Community Plan may serve as
the more appropriate point of reference for the Task Force as a starting point. The City has
considered its Community Plans to be living documents and maintained their relevance by
conducting periodic updates of its Area Plans within the document. Updating the Historic District
Area Plan will be in keeping with this effort. Also, Council has more recently determined to revisit
the overarching principles set forth in the 2013 Community Plan. This effort will be pursued in
2020.
