Mayor — PresidVg Offidtr Attest: k of Ouncil (AC'6n-0 City of Dublin Office of the City Manager 5200 Emerald Parkway • Dublin, OH 43017-1090 Phone: 614-410-4400 • Fax: 614-410-4490 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. Memo re Resolution No. 57-19 — Historic District Area Plan Update/Visioning Process October 9, 2019 Page 2 of 2 Recommendation Staff recommends Council pass Resolution 57-19 as presented and/or with any other modifications Council may desire. Please contact Dana McDaniel with any questions you may have.
