0 Liberty Rd Unit Tract 2, Powell, OH 43065

Planned Commercial District

It is the purpose of these districts to promote the public health, safety, and welfare by providing for the regulation of planned developments. These districts are so created in order to permit the careful and coordinated physical planning and development of the land, to provide flexibility in the location of land uses, housing types, and their intensity, and to provide incentives for provision of public parkland and private environmental conservation easements, public access pedestrian/bicycle/jogging paths and equestrian paths, the private construction of public parkways, and the construction of high quality housing through provision of housing density bonuses for the provision of such amenities, while simultaneously protecting and preserving the natural environment, providing for surface drainage runoff control, limiting the buildup of residential and through traffic on already congested access points into the area between the two rivers and on existing and future major streets, encouraging inclusion of pedestrian scale design elements, and conserving and enhancing the community and regional character as a green, open, rural setting, permitting development yet constraining the tendency to overbuild the region. It is the intent of these regulations to provide maximum opportunity for orderly large-scale development that benefits the community as a whole by offering a greater choice in living environments and a wider range of development plans featuring a more complementary blending of land uses and community facilities, and a more unified approach with respect to the mixture of uses and their adaptation to topological and geological features, recreational and natural environment preservation opportunities, and transportation needs.
