Slope<br />
The slopes within the study area were classified into three categories:<br />
- Resulting in Severe development limitations<br />
100 Year Floodway<br />
The 100 Year Floodway is derived from Federal Emergency Management Agency<br />
(FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps. All areas of land within this zone are considered to<br />
have severe development limitations.<br />
Soils<br />
The Soils analysis is based on the <strong>Hamilton</strong> <strong>County</strong> Soil Survey. Development limitations<br />
of the soil types are taken directly from the Limitations for Commercial Buildings<br />
classification in the Survey; Slight, Moderate, and Severe.<br />
Hydric Soils<br />
The Hydric Soils were analyzed by dividing into three categories:<br />
Non-Hydric Soils<br />
- Resulting in No Development<br />
Limitations<br />
Soils with Hydric Inclusions - Resulting in Slight Development<br />
Limitations<br />
Hydric Soils<br />
- Resulting in Severe Development<br />
Limitations<br />
Wetlands<br />
Wetlands were analyzed by dividing into three categories:<br />
Emergent Wetlands<br />
- Resulting in Slight Development Limitations<br />
Scrub-Shrub Wetlands<br />
- Resulting in Moderate Development Limitations<br />
Forested Wetlands<br />
- Resulting in Severe Development<br />
Limitations<br />
The information above was compiled resulting in a Summary Analysis defining three categories<br />
of development suitability: Low/Slight, Moderate, and Severe Development Constraints.<br />
MARKET ANALYSIS<br />
In order to better understand the economic influences affecting Anderson Township’s future<br />
<strong>Ohio</strong> Riverfront development, information from the following reports, completed recently by<br />
ERA (Economic Research Associates) for the region and east side of the Metropolitan area,<br />
were referenced and shared with the Committee.<br />
• Eastern Corridor Overview Demographic/Economic/Real Estate - 6/01 ∗<br />
• Conference Center Market Analysis Clermont <strong>County</strong>, <strong>Ohio</strong> - 2/00 ∗<br />
These ERA reports analyze base data from several sources, addressing national and regional<br />
demographic and economic factors that are affecting the entire area and the eastern<br />
corridor of Cincinnati. The potential for hospitality needs in the Anderson Riverfront area was<br />
indicated by the economic projections noting River Downs, Coney Island, and Riverbend, all<br />
recreational/entertainment developments, as the primary economic drivers in this area. The<br />
Committee agreed that a conference center could potentially be a part of any hotel<br />
development in this area.<br />
