Community Plan Special Area Plan Implementation: Zoning

A Community Plan is the City’s policy document that informs growth and development decisions.

Dublin Corporate Area Plan (DCAP)A Special Area Plan provides additional detailed policy guidance for specific geography of the City. (Sept 2018)

Zoning is a legal mechanism that is used to govern land development-based on the recommendations of the DCAP.

DCAP Goals

• Reposition the “legacy” office sites for success• Create a walkable, mixed use environment • Identify under-served markets • Establish a strategy to “refresh” the Frantz

Road streetscape • Recommend mechanisms to ensure additional

development along Frantz Road does not adversely impact neighborhoods.

• Recommend zoning tools to ensure successful implementation

• Introduce consistent and compatible architectural and site design guidelines

Mixed Use Regional Districts are intended to provide concentrated areas of high quality employment facilities, integrated with or adjacent to complementary retail and commercial uses as well as supporting residential and recreational uses.

FAQs

What if I plan to make interior or exterior building or site modifications, how w ill this impact my property?The proposed zoning will have no impact on interior modifications. It would only affect your property if you choose to develop or redevelop your property. Small building exterior and site modifications, including repainting, small additions, signage, landscaping amendments, and accessory structures would be considered minor projects, which are approved by the City's Administrative Review Team. More substantial site or building modifications would require review by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

What if I expand the use and building?All existing uses are considered permitted uses and will be able to continue as is for as long as they are active. Any new use would need to comply with the new zoning regulations.
