Village of Urbancrest Community Plan

About the plan

This project began in May 2019 and completed August 2021. Click here to view the draft Urbancrest Community Plan.

Community residents, Village officials and Franklin County planners developed a Community Plan for the Village of Urbancrest. Franklin County's role was to facilitate the planning process, collect input and feedback through the process, and report findings and recommendations back to the community, the Working Committee, and Village officials. The plan will now move on to the Urbancrest Village Council for their adoption.

Project overview

This project addresses land use, housing, transportation, economic development and other planning issues facing the Village for the next 10-20 years.

It is a consensus-based process using a working committee and public meetings to reach a consensus and a final plan document.

Before being finalized, the plan will go through the Village's review and adoption process.

Planning process

We will document our progress through the year-long planning process. See how the plan takes shape by viewing the Planning process documents.

Your input is essential to making this project a success. We will hold three public meetings during the planning process. Make sure your voice is heard. Check back periodically to see project updates.

Public meetings

The project's first public meeting was held on Thursday, Sept. 12, 2019 at 6:30pm at the Quinichett Pavilion, 3464 First Avenue.  At the meeting residents provided input through multiple feedback activities. Residents that were unable to attend the Public Meeting were able to complete an online survey through Sept. 26.

The project’s second public meeting was held on Thursday, September 3, 2020 at 3:30pm. Due to COVID-19 restrictions on large gatherings, the meeting was held online through video chat and teleconferencing. Residents provided input during the meeting’s discussion session. All residents were invited to complete a survey that was mailed to households throughout the Village. Surveys could also be completed online.

The project's third and final public meeting will be held on Monday, August 9, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Quinichett Pavilion, 3464 First Avenue. This meeting will be held as an open house for viewing the draft of the Urbancrest Community Plan. Community members will be able to provide feedback on all sections of the plan, including vision statements, policy recommendations, and implementation.

Please note: This will be a mask-friendly event for those who are vaccinated against COVID-19 and would also like to wear a mask. Masks are required for persons who are not vaccinated. Light refreshments will be provided.
