Background and History of Northfield's Comprehensive Plan

In November 2006, the City Council approved a contract with ACP Visioning & Planning of Columbus, Ohio, to revise and update the City's Comprehensive  Plan and  Land Development Regulations.  The Comprehensive Plan was approved by the City Council on 11/17/08.  The Land Development Regulations are scheduled to be completed in 2009. 

The City of Northfield has long been involved in City planning, zoning and subdivision administration. The first Comprehensive Plan for the City of Northfield was adopted and made effective in 1966. Since the adoption of the first Comprehensive Plan of the City, there have been numerous revisions and plan updates. The chronology of plan adoption by the City is listed as follows:
 
1966:  Original Comprehensive Plan
1977:  Major update to the Comprehensive Plan
1988:  Major update to the Comprehensive Plan
2001:  Major update to the Comprehensive Plan
2008:  Major revision and update to the Comprehensive Plan
 
The administration of development regulations in Northfield dates back to the early 1930s. Since that time, countless revisions have occurred with major amendments in 1966, 1974, 1981, 1986 and 2003.
