Planning Commissioners' Procedures Manual - Hamilton County, Ohio

INTRODUCTION
Anderson Township’s approximately 6.5
miles of Ohio River frontage is one of the
most important and dynamic sections of
the Ohio River with Riverbend, River
Downs, and Coney Island adjacent. The
study area extends from the Ohio River
north to Interstate 275. This unique area
consists of environmentally sensitive
areas, scenic and visual resources, and
dynamic existing developments. These
developments serve as catalysts to
development adjacent to the proposed
Ohio River Shared Use Trail planned to
run along the U.S. Route 52 corridor.
One of the preliminary goals of this land
use plan for the Anderson Township
Riverfront Area is to preserve and
enhance environmental quality, views
and land use value along
Anderson Township’s Ohio River corridor.
An additional goal of the planning
process was to recommend land uses
that will capitalize on the existing
entertainment/recreational uses west of
U.S. Route 52. The Township’s vision for
the Ohio River and surrounding areas
then seeks to incorporate the planning
studies being conducted by numerous
regional planning organizations with the
unique natural resources and land form
of Anderson Township. Assessments of
the natural and infrastructure
characteristics of the corridor were
conducted to help guide the public
involvement process.
The purpose of this study was to develop
a land use plan as part of a
“comprehensive plan” that will guide
development along Anderson
Township’s Ohio Riverfront in the best
interest of the community.
It is anticipated that this Riverfront Plan
will be made part of an updated
Anderson Township Comprehensive Plan
in the future.
