3 AMENDED NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN (Urban Renewal Plan) Recognizing the dangers of blight, deterioration and obsolescence to the continued stability and vitality of areas in the community, as perceived by the City Planning Commission and neighborhood groups in the community, the City of Hamilton, Ohio initiated long-range plans and programs of urban renewal and neighborhood development activities, and in 1972 adopted its Neighborhood Development Plan (Urban Renewal Plan) for the Hamilton Neighborhood Development Program Area as described in said 1972 Plan and in this Amended Plan. For the purpose of clarity, subsequent references to Urban Renewal Plan or Neighborhood Development Plan as indicated in this document shall be interpreted as including the following: the Urban Renewal Plan for the Hamilton Neighborhood Development Program Area and for any Sub-Plans for Sub-Areas thereof. The City of Hamilton in initiating this program recognized the deterioration and blight in the core areas of Hamilton, the inadequacy of public facilities in this area, the shortage of affordable housing for low and moderate income families throughout the City of Hamilton and the request by the area residents for urban renewal assistance in upgrading and improving their area. The City has determined to update the 1972 Plan (as amended) by adoption of this amended Neighborhood Development Plan for the Neighborhood Development Program Area. The City s overall objective is to increase the capacity of the City to make positive changes to the social and physical conditions of low and moderate-income persons and to eliminate blight by initiating the public actions and commitments specified herein, private and public investment in redevelopment and rehabilitation. In order to achieve these objectives, the City of Hamilton will undertake the actions specified in its Neighborhood Development Plan. In addition to this Neighborhood Development Plan, the City reserves the right, from time to time, to adopt more specific Neighborhood Development Plans or, Sub-Area Plans pertaining to specific sub-areas within the Neighborhood Development Area. Some of these Sub-Area Plans previously adopted include by may not be limited to, the: Urban Renewal Plan for Pecks Addition and the Hanover/Walnut Urban Renewal Plan. The actions set forth in Hamilton Urban Renewal Plans shall be carried out as provided for in Chapter 175 of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Hamilton, Ohio. GENERAL NOTE All references made to local, state or federal departments or agencies in this document (including amendments and additions thereto) shall denote the current agency name of same or its equivalent. In addition, references made to federal legislation in this document (including all amendments and additions thereto) shall refer to the current legislation authorizing and providing for financial assistance for Urban Renewal Activities. 2

General Objectives The objectives that are fundamental and applicable to the Neighborhood Development Plan Area as a whole are designed to achieve the optimum in community life for present and future populations of the area and shall, therefore, be concerned with all aspects of development, maintaining a sensitive relationship between its physical, social and economic aspects. Additionally, this includes some of the key goals of the City s Strategic Plan. The fundamental objectives are as follows: 1) Improvement of the residential environment by the provision of decent, safe and sanitary housing for all citizens through new construction, through rehabilitation of existing housing, and through increased opportunities for home ownership among low- and moderate-income families. Further, it is the City s intent that this objective be addressed through both public action and private sector investment. 2) To expand economic opportunities and promote economic growth by: encouraging reinvestment in and expansion of existing business and industrial establishments; decreasing vacancy rates in existing office, commercial and industrial structures; making new sites available for economic opportunities; and by retaining and creating additional employment opportunities. 3) To stimulate the improvement of deteriorating areas, particularly by private action. 4) The removal of blighted structures and blighting influences and the provisions of adequate supporting public facilities to encourage the residents of the City to maintain confidence in the stability in Neighborhood Development Neighborhoods. 5) To make land available for the growth and expansion of public and semi-public facilities. 6) To modify the disrupting influences of relocation by implementing acquisition activities in phases, and providing assistance to displaced occupants, including the assembly of land for relocating displaced occupants of dwellings and businesses. 4

6 7) Improvement of social conditions by providing increased opportunities and encouragement for neighborhood residents to become involved in the planning and implementation of actions designed to meet the needs of individual neighborhoods with consideration for the broader objectives of the City as a whole. 8) The establishment of an increased tax base for the community, which will allow for an increased level of services to be provided for residents. Section 2. Neighborhood Development Plan Overall Objectives The Neighborhood Development Plan overall objectives including the specific Sub-Area Plans thereof are as follows: 1) In the setting of priorities for development, the maintenance of an equitable balance between activities related to the improvement of residential environments (and their related services) and activities related to an expansion of the economic base of the City. 2) Utilization of all available legal and financial tools and, when necessary, the creation of new tools in order to produce an attractive, stimulating and human urban environment. 3) To create and preserve an environment within the Neighborhood Development Plan Area which will protect the health, safety and general welfare of the City, preserve existing value of properties to remain within and adjacent to the project area, and preserve taxable values of properties within the area. 4) To eliminate substandard and obsolete buildings, blighting influences, and environmental deficiencies, which presently detract from the functional unity, aesthetic appearance, and economic welfare of this important section of the City, and to establish conditions, which will prevent the recurrence of blight and blighting conditions. 5) To redevelop, to the extent feasible, land cleared of blighting conditions in accordance with the general objectives of the Neighborhood Development Plans. 6) Assembly of cleared land into parcels functionally adaptable in both shape and size for ready disposition and redevelopment in accordance with: - contemporary development needs and standards - a development pattern which is orderly in terms of parking, service facilities, and other site and building design considerations 7) To establish a pattern of land use activities arranged in compatible groupings to enhance the efficiency of operation, use and economic relationships. 8) To provide improved community facilities to the Neighborhood Development Area with the intention of increasing the physical attractiveness and functionality of neighborhoods through upgrading, improving and expanding parks, playgrounds, streets, storm and sanitary sewers, sidewalks, gas and electric services, street lighting, etc. where needed. 5

7 9) To improve accessibility throughout the Neighborhood Development Area by upgrading arterial streets, thus minimizing through traffic in residential areas. Traffic circulation will also be enhanced by improving local streets as necessary. 10) Achievement of development, which is, integrated both functionally and aesthetically with existing developments to remain. Section 3. Relationship to Local Objectives The Neighborhood Development Plan also addresses key objectives of the City s recently adopted Strategic Plan (Initiative Update). The Strategic Plan seeks to Create Economic Opportunity, Create a Sense of Place, and Create a Positive Image for the City. The proposals of this plan include establishment of cohesive buildings and land use activities to enhance economic health; reinvestment through rehabilitation and new construction; and the preservation of existing valuable properties and creation of healthy and safe areas, among others in support of the City s Strategic Plan. The Neighborhood Development Area includes the City s Downtown, the portion of High Street between Downtown and Route 4, and a portion of South B Street, all recently re-zoned to Form- Based Zoning. Form-Based Zoning differs from standard zoning by focusing primarily on the form and appearance of structures and property as opposed to the land uses of the property. Form- Based Zoning within Downtown Hamilton addresses several of the goals of the Neighborhood Development Plan, notably, economic development and establishing land use patterns that enhance the City s quality of life. Additionally, the Neighborhood Development Area contains the recently completed South Hamilton Crossing (SHX) traffic project, and the Form-Based Zoned areas within University Commerce Park (UCP). South Hamilton Crossing (SHX) is a transportation project designed to create a new overpass over an at-grade railroad crossing and serve as a vital connection to both Miami University Hamilton and the adjacent University Commerce Park (UCP). University Commerce Park (UCP) is land currently owned by the City of Hamilton and recently re-zoned to Form-Based Zoning, intended as a Mixed-Use, Residential, Commercial, and Industrial development. Both South Hamilton Crossing (SHX) and University Commerce Park (UCP) address many of the key objectives of the Neighborhood Development Plan, and the City s Strategic Plan, including economic development, accessibility, and housing. C. Future Land Use and Major Circulation Plan Section 1. Land Use Map (Exhibit B) A Future Land Use Map for the Hamilton Neighborhood Development Area is included in this plan and dated February, This map is based on Plan Hamilton, the updated City Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, Plan Hamilton recommends specific types of land use areas for the different areas of the city, based on current land use, zoning, and site analysis. This map is also based on other existing conditions, including Form-Based Zoning, which is comprised of Downtown, High Street, Main Street, and the University Commerce Park, all located within the core of the Neighborhood Development Area. 6

8 The map identifies the future land use development patterns within the Neighborhood Development Area. The official City of Hamilton Zoning Ordinance lists the permitted/conditional land uses for the Neighborhood Development Area and specific properties within. This map is based on the Vision 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update, and the recently adopted Form- Based Zoning within the core of the Neighborhood Development Area. The map identifies the future land use development patterns within the Neighborhood Development Area. The proposed permitted/conditional land uses are included in the official City of Hamilton Zoning Ordinance. The permitted and conditional uses are listed within the respective zoning districts situated within the Neighborhood Development Area. Permitted and Conditional Uses are found within the most recent currently adopted copy of the Hamilton Zoning Ordinance as amended. Section 2. Description of Predominant Land Uses The Neighborhood Development Area is characterized by a distinctive mix of single-family residential, multi-family residential, office, retail/commercial, mixed-use, and light industrial land uses of various densities. The Neighborhood Development Area is centered on the core (Downtown) portion of the City of Hamilton. This diverse area is comprised of some of the oldest and most recently constructed buildings and structures in the city. For the purposes of future land use development patterns within the Neighborhood Development Area, the permitted/conditional land uses envisioned within the area are listed in the respective underlying zoning districts found within the boundaries of the Neighborhood Development Area. Permitted and Conditional Uses are found within the most recent currently adopted copy of the Hamilton Zoning Ordinance as amended. In addition, portions of the Neighborhood Development Area are part of local historic districts and must meet certain exterior design requirements for redevelopment purposes. Section 3. Major Circulation Plan (Exhibit C) The attached map indicates existing and proposed vehicular transportation routes within the Neighborhood Development Area. Section 4. Planning Criteria and Standards a. Accessory and Supporting Uses: Type, intensity and location of other uses permitted in predominant land use categories will be determined based on neighborhood objectives, the standards of this Neighborhood Development Plan (as amended), the Hamilton Zoning Ordinance, and all codes and ordinances related to the implementation of the City s Strategic Plan. b. Internal Circulation System: The location and character of a pedestrian and vehicular circulation system will be based on the neighborhood objectives; the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana (OKI) Regional Council of Governments and Hamilton Transportation Plans; other plans and all codes and ordinances and engineering and design standards passed and adopted for plan implementation. 7

9 c. Public Improvements and Facilities: The location of such public improvements and facilities as sewer, water, gas, electric, curb, gutters, and street paving, will be in accordance with engineering and design standards, and other codes and regulations applicable for the City of Hamilton. Such facilities such as open spaces, mini-parks, tot-lots, etc. will be based on neighborhood objectives and consistent with the standards and criteria set forth in the City s Neighborhood Development Plan (as amended). d. Rehabilitation Standards: Residential rehabilitation standards will be in accordance with the City of Hamilton Minimum Housing Standards Ordinance and the Housing Rehabilitation Standards developed pursuant to, and in accordance with, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) Programs, as amended. In addition, all properties in the Hamilton Neighborhood Development Plan Area shall comply with the standards as set forth in all applicable statutes, codes, and ordinances, as amended from time to time, relating to the use, maintenance, facilities, and occupancy of existing property, including but not limited to the Zoning, Subdivision, Building, Plumbing, Electrical and Housing Codes. These code standards are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of these property rehabilitation standards. To the extent provided for through the CDBG Program, and as determined by the City s Health and Community Development Planning Departments, emergency repairs may be made to a particular residential structure in immediate need. D. Urban Renewal Techniques To Be Used To Achieve Plan Objectives Section 1. Designation of Properties for Acquisition From time to time, The City may designate various properties required to be acquired in order to carry out the City s Neighborhood Development purposes. Such designations may be made by means of City adoption of a specific Neighborhood Development Plan of a defined Sub-Area, or by approval of an Acquisition Map, which shows properties, designated for acquisition. In addition to being identified for acquisition on said map, these areas are also typically designated as Redevelopment Areas on the Neighborhood Development Plan Map. Section 2. Other Acquisition and Clearance Conditions under which additional properties (not designated for acquisition pursuant to Section 1 above) may be acquired and cleared are as follows: a. To remove buildings which are structurally substandard. b. To remove buildings, other than buildings, which are structurally substandard, in order to remove blighting influences which are exerted on the area. Such blighting influences include, but are not limited to the following: 8

10 1) Inadequate street layout 2) Incompatible uses or land use relationships 3) Overcrowding of buildings on the land 4) Excessive dwelling unit density 5) Dilapidated or deteriorated structures, determined infeasible for rehabilitation by the City s Department of Community Development Planning Department 6) Aged or obsolete buildings not suitable for improvements or conversion c. To foster increased economic development activities by providing development sites for the express purposes of attracting and locating new businesses in the City and assisting the expansion of existing businesses. d. To provide sites for needed public improvements or other public facilities e. To clear deteriorated or dilapidated buildings, or sound buildings, to the extent necessary to assemble land into parcels of adequate size and shape to meet modern development needs and standards or to provide for private redevelopment to meet the objectives of this Neighborhood Development Plan. Acquisition of such buildings will take place only when the objectives of this plan cannot be met through building rehabilitation. f. To remove real estate title impediments that may prevent or hinder otherwise appropriate property for rehabilitation from being rehabilitated. Where possible, structures of architectural or historic value will be preserved. Section 3. Rehabilitation a. This Neighborhood Development Plan identified general planning objectives, which will enhance and strengthen renewal areas and encourage the physical rehabilitation of buildings in the area. The goal of property rehabilitation is to provide safe, sanitary, functional, and attractive conditions in which to reside, shop, work and transact business. Fundamental to this goal is the restoration of all existing to-remain buildings to a safe and sound condition to a condition meeting minimum present-day standards for health, safety, sanitation and welfare, and to a condition sufficient to provide reasonable protection against the development of blighting conditions. Rehabilitation activities will include the provision of technical assistance to property owners to facilitate and stimulate achievement of rehabilitation standards and objectives. As necessary, the City may establish action plans designed to outline rehabilitation goals. Upon the City s initiation of its CDBG and HOME Programs, the anticipated number of units to be rehabilitated will relate to a particular funding program and year as set forth in the City s applications. b. The provision of local codes and ordinances and rehabilitation standards will be enforced as the minimum residential rehabilitation standards as outlined in Part C, Section 4, d of this document. 9
