4 UPDATE The Comprehensive Plan Update is conceptual, illustrating possiblities for future growth within the city. It is a vision of what the City of Kirtland can become. PREFACE This document responds to perceived community needs and opportunities as viewed by the Planning Commission. There are proposals aimed at achieving economic stability required for Kirtland to maintain a high level of service. There are suggestions for preserving and enhancing existing development, for sustainable practices, and for guiding future growth. The plan in this document is an update to the 2010 Comprehensive Plan, which was completed with citywide input. It addresses each type of land use residential, commercial, industrial, public lands including educational and recreational, and recognizes these uses are interrelated. The Plan enables Kirtland to evaluate a change in one element of the plan in the context of how such a change might impact other areas or uses. The Comprehensive Plan update is not a blueprint but rather a guide, a management tool that provides a base from which to assess future development proposals. This plan does not propose changes in most of the city, but focuses on the areas that the Planning Commission considers to be of the greatest importance. INTRODUCTION 2
5 CITY CHARTER REQUIREMENT The city charter requires a Comprehensive Plan. Article III Section II states, The Planning and Zoning Commission shall adopt and recommend to council a Comprehensive General Plan for the physical development of the municipality. The 2010 plan was completed in State law requires that the Comprehensive Plan be updated every 10 years. PURPOSE AND PROCESS The Planning Commission, along with the Mayor and Council, reviewed the 2010 Comprehensive Plan that was prepared in 2002 and updated it as required. Following a series of meetings in which members analyzed current conditions and identified their concerns, alternative land use plans were developed. These land use plans were evaluated and discussed and the present plan reflects the consensus of the Planning Commission, Council and public input as to the future directions for the City of Kirtland, Ohio. INTRODUCTION 3
6 COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE: INTRODUCTION This Plan is a result of months of study by the Planning and Zoning Commission exploring possiblities for future development that will enhance existing development and will provide opportunities for sound economic development that is necessary to continue funding city services. The plan is comprehensive, suggesting areas for residential, business, industrial sites, public lands, schools, parks, recreational sites, utilities and for road improvements. This update of the 2010 Plan is focused on a few areas which are critical. The Plan recognizes the land use pattern for most of the city is well established and few changes are proposed. The plan is a GUIDE. It is NOT a blueprint, as such, it provides a point of reference so that future development proposals may be evaluated in terms of the city s long range goals as well as their impact on properties. THE PLAN 4
7 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE: 2022 City of Kirtland, Ohio THE PLAN 5
8 ACCOMPLISHMENTS How effective was the 2010 plan? Below are some accomplishments based upon the previous Comprehensive Plan recommendations: 2004 Adoption of Conservation Development ordinance 2005 Creation of Historic Town Center Zoning District Installation of Historic Town Center signage 2006 Purchase of land on US Route 6 for recreation use 2007 Reservation of trail easements between two subdivisions Connecting Hobart and Eagle Roads 2009 Improvements at intersection of US Route 6 and State Route 306 Adoption of Flood Damage Reduction Ordinance 2010 Adoption of entire zoning code 2011 Installation of first phase sanitary sewers in the H.T.C. District Adoption of Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinances Adoption of Comprehensive Stormwater Management Ordinances 2012 Installation of sidewalks along State Route 306 in H.T.C. District KEY ELEMENTS OF THE 2022 PLAN HISTORIC TOWN CENTER (H.T.C.) Encourage development of land uses that create a small town atmosphere with local retail shops, restaurants, offices and residential uses including housing for seniors. MIXED USE DISTRICT Expand the area south of the Historic Town Center to permit development of housing for seniors and other residential uses along with retail and offices in a mixed use district. UTILITIES/ROADWAYS Extend sanitary sewer south on State Route 306 to Eagle Rd. Provide a new roadway connection from the Lakeland Community College entry to Kirtland-Willoughby Road. RECREATION Add to the recently acquired site on US Route 6 east in order to connect to the Lake County Farm Park. TRAILS Extend bike/hike trails from existing parks to other locations in the city, including linkage from the city owned recreation site on US Route 6 to the Farm Park. Use existing utility easements and secondary roads to connect major points of interest. THE PLAN 6
9 DEFINITION OF PLAN RESIDENTIAL One family dwellings will remain the dominant land use. New residences will be on lots of one to five acres. Several areas have the potential for conservation developments which incorporate at least 50% open spaces. COMMERCIAL The presence of Lakeland Community College, Holden Arboretum, Lake County Parks, and Kirtland Temple (National Historic Landscape) and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Historic Village make Kirtland a tourist destination, creating a need for motel accommodations, food service, convenience goods, and personal services. The mixed-use district across from Kirtland school campus is proposed for these uses. Lakeland Community College could be the site for a Hotel/Conference Center. More immediate opportunities for offices are available on the east and west sides of State Route 306 in the Historic Town Center, due to the new sanitary sewer being installed in this area. There is potential for expanding retail business in the vicinity of US Route 6 and State Route 306 as sanitary sewer lines are extended into this area in the future. RECREATION To accommodate the needs of a growing population, additional active recreation areas are proposed adjacent to the Farm Park. The second area in the southwestern corner of the city is proposed as a passive recreation area. Biking/hiking routes are proposed throughout the city on existing roads or on separate rights-of-way. These routes will link residential neighborhoods to recreation areas, public schools, and the Historic Town Center. In addition, existing bridle trails should be preserved and continued throughout the city. UTILITIES/ROADWAYS A public water supply is available in most areas of the city. Since the 2010 plan, the city has added a new sanitary sewer line along State Route 306 and eliminated one treatment plant. An extension of the sanitary sewer south to Eagle Road is also proposed in the future. A new roadway connection from the Lakeland Community College entrance to Kirtland-Willoughby Road is proposed. OPEN SPACE The protection and acquisition of open space is emphasized in the plan. The open space provides linkages for the proposed trail system within the city, potential expansion of the existing city-owned park south of US Route 6, west of the Farm Park and power line corridor. THE PLAN 7
10 HISTORIC TOWN CENTER KEY POINTS - Provide sidewalks on both sides of State Route Enforce new zoning regulations - Enforce riparian corridor protection setback - Continue to enhance area with streetscape improvements - Extend sewer lines on State Route 306 to Russellhurst - Possible roads for future development - Historic Town Center (HTC) THE PLAN 8
11 H.T.C. PROPERTY OWNERSHIP THE PLAN 9
12 DESCRIPTION OF PLANNING CONCEPTS MIXED-USE DISTRICT A term applied to use districts in which residences, retail, and commercial business uses are permitted. Some zoning ordinances permit mixed uses on the same lot or in the same building. NEIGHBORHOOD RESTORATION/PRESERVATION Existing one family neighborhoods with dwellings on smaller lots where public/private partnerships will encourage rehabilitation, public improvements and promote infill of undeveloped lots providing affordable housing for all ages. HISTORIC TOWN CENTER (H.T.C.) Continue to implement proposed streetscape improvements and establish guidelines to ensure future development in the district is compatible with these improvements. THE PLAN 10
13 PARKS & TRAILS Continue to implement proposed trails and establish greater connections to existing and proposed parks and community facilities. OFFICE/LIMITED INDUSTRIAL A zoning district that is intended for limited industrial activities. Such industrial activities include warehousing, distribution centers and administrative offices. INSTITUTIONAL/MUNICIPAL A development that provides a public service or fills a public need. Such development includes libraries, museums and educational facilities. THE PLAN 11
14 SUSTAINABLE PRACTICE CONCEPTS These concepts should be incorporated into future zoning regulations and development guidelines. LOW-IMPACT DEVELOPMENT Low-Impact Development (LID) is an approach to managing stormwater as near to its source as possible. This is accomplished by minimizing impervious surfaces and promoting natural infiltration and evapotranspiration more than is typically associated with development. GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE Green Infrastructure is strategically planned and managed networks of natural lands, working landscapes and other open spaces that conserve an ecosystem s values and functions and provide associated benefits to human populations. Green infrastructure should provide for multi-functional uses i.e., wildlife, recreational and cultural experiences, as well as delivering ecological services, such as flood protection and microclimate control. It should also operate at all spatial scales from urban centers to the open countryside. BIOSWALES Sometimes referred to as vegetative swales, infiltrative BMPs or rain gardens, these landscape features are designed to enhance the appearance of an area while acting as an integral element of the Stormwater Management Plan required for all construction projects disturbing one or more acres. These recessed landscape beds act to slow the flow of stormwater and filter pollutants from the water before it eventually recharges groundwater, seeps into the municipal storm sewer system, or discharges into waterways. GREEN STREETS Green streets transform impervious street surfaces into landscaped green spaces that capture stormwater runoff and let water soak into the ground as plants and soil filter pollutants. Green streets convert stormwater from water directed into a pipe, to a resource that replenishes groundwater supplies. They also create attractive streetscapes and urban green spaces, provide natural habitat, and help connect neighborhoods, schools, parks, and business districts. PERMEABLE PAVERS Permeable pavers are durable concrete or brick pavers that when used in a road they provide minimal movement during the freeze and thaw cycle without damage to the road. The pavers provide environmentally friendly additional stormwater storage in the sub-base. They can outlast standard asphalt roads by two or three life-cycles and eliminate storm line and catch basin repairs. THE PLAN 12
