Improvements of above as of May 2008

  • Item 1: The Study was adopted as part of Comprehensive Plan. The Study is referenced in the Land Use component of the Comprehensive Plan in the Profiles for Neighborhood Six and Seven.
  • Item 2: Development proposals can be and are reviewed in regard to the Ivy Road Study recommendations. Specifically, Site Plan reviews are ministerial acts and the only improvements that can be required are those by the site plan ordinance based on the property zoning. The Commission cannot deny a site plan because it does meet the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan.
  • Item 3: Addressed when the Western Bypass was an active project.
  • Item 6: The UnJam Plan describes the Route 250 West project (listed as I-24) as: improve roadway safe to include restriping to accommodate new sidewalk and bike lanes. UnJam also recognizes the road cross-section as a 3-lane urban design (center turn lane).
  • Item 7: Completed.
