What Connected Communities Means for Hyde Park & How Historic Designation Protects

The Hyde Park Long Range Plan Steering Committee wants to continue keeping you informed on issues that affect our community and our Plan—and to be guided by your questions and input.

City Council passed the Connected Communities legislation on June 5th – what does this mean for Hyde Park, and how can we preserve the unique character of our community?

Come to a second session of What's Up, Hyde Park? on Monday, July 1, 6:30-8:00 PM, in the meeting room of Oakley Recreation Center (in Hyde Park Plaza, near Bob Sumerel Tire) to get answers to those questions. This public meeting will focus on:

• Specific ways Connected Communities will impact Hyde Park - presented by Gary Wollenweber, HPNC Zoning Committee Chair, at 6:30 PM
• Historic districts in Hyde Park; how to seek historic designation for a property, street,or area; and the protection that historic designation offers - presented by Beth Johnson, Executive Director of the Cincinnati Preservation Association, at 7:00 PM  
  
• Your questions and input - throughout the program

This session is presented by members of the Hyde Park Long Range Plan Steering Committee.
Come, learn, be heard!

Just east of Edwards along Wasson Way there are now trees and associated plaques for Carl Uebelacker and the Hapner family

Please join us on Tuesday, June 11th, at 7:00 PM for the monthly meeting.

It will be held in the cafeteria of Hyde Park School, at 3401 Edwards Road. Please enter through Door #1, which is adjacent to the main parking lot, on Edwards Rd.

A new Long Range Plan for Hyde Park is finally nearing completion, after much time and thought from a Steering Committee of residents and business owners, working with City Planning Staff. Halted by COVID and then slowed by the need to make major updates to previous work, the plan is entering its final conception stages. Public meetings will be held on the completed plan, hopefully in Fall 2024, but the Steering Committee wants to seek your input now.

Please come to What's Up, Hyde Park? on Monday, June 3, at 6:30 PM, in the meeting room of the Hyde Park Library. This public meeting, open to all Hyde Park residents, businesses, and property owners, is both a conversation and information session on issues that matter to you:

• Hear an overview of the new Long-Range Plan, ask questions, and learn about how it relates to Connected Communities.
  [This plan will replace the one adopted by the City of Cincinnati in 1983.]
• Tell us your vision for the future of our community – What needs to be included in this Plan? What did the Steering Committee overlook?

This session is presented by members of the Hyde Park Long Range Plan Steering Committee. Please come, learn, be heard!

The May 17th Planning Commission agenda contains a single item: Connected Communities.

For those unfamiliar, the Connected Communities legislation, at present, contains proposed text amendments modifying multiple Chapters of Title XIV, “Zoning Code of the City of Cincinnati,” and Title XVII, “Land Development Code,” of the Cincinnati Municipal Code.

We are requesting that those of you with strong opinions please engage and consider joining the Planning Commission meeting.

During the meeting the full report (available at the link below) will be presented by Planning Staff. They will then allow for anyone from the Public to provide comments for up to 3 minutes. This will be followed by Planning Staff discussion and then likely voting.
