Hamilton County and the City of Cincinnati engaged Urban Design Associates to prepare a plan to give direction in two public policy areas: • to site the two new stadiums for the Reds and the Bengals • to develop an overall urban design framework for the development of the central riverfront which would capitalize on the major public investment in the stadiums and structured parking A Riverfront Steering Committee made up of City and County elected officials and staff was formed as a joint policy board for the Central Riverfront Plan. Focus groups, inter- views, and public meetings were held throughout the planning process. A Concept Plan was published in April 1997 which identi- fied three possible scenarios for the siting of the stadiums and the development of the riverfront. The preparation of a final Master Plan was delayed due to a November 1998 public refer- endum on the siting of the Reds Ballpark. urban design associates Central Riverfront Urban Design Master Plan Once the decision on the Reds Ball- The final Master Plan, which park was made by the voters in favor of a includes The Banks recommendations riverfront site, Hamilton County and the from the Advisors, has the following City of Cincinnati in January 1999 major elements: 3 appointed sixteen prominent citizens to 1 Four anchor attractions (three new: the Riverfront Advisors Commission Paul Brown Stadium, Reds Ballpark, who were charged to “recommend mixed and the National Underground Rail- usage for the Riverfront that guarantees road Freedom Center; and one exist- public investment will create sustainable ing—Firstar Center). development on the site most valued by 2 Parking for over 6000 cars to serve our community.” The result of that effort commuters, sports fans, and festival was The Banks, a September 1999 report attendees. from the Advisors which contained rec- 3 The Banks, a vibrant mixed use dis- ommendations on land use, parking, trict with: 900 to 1300 housing units; finance, phasing, and developer selection 400,000 to 500,000 sq. ft. of retail for the Central Riverfront. and entertainment; 100,000 to The Advisors and the UDA team 200,000 sq. ft. of offices; and a hotel also worked closely with the Park Board of 200 to 400 rooms. and their consultants to integrate the 4 master planning for the riverfront park A new, 70-acre riverfront park as a into the overall Master Plan. signature front door for the City and as a location for major festivals. urban design associates Central Riverfront Urban Design Master Plan 5 A narrowed, redesigned, and partially Development decked Fort Washington Way, the The City and the County will jointly sunken interstate highway which create a Riverfront Development Com- runs east-west through the City mission which will oversee and ensure 4 between Downtown and the river- implementation of The Banks.

These four proj- ects are scheduled for completion after 2002. urban design associates Central Riverfront Urban Design Master Plan iiPlanning Process the development of the plan for the Central Riverfront 5 was divided into two distinct phases: The Central Riverfront Urban Design and Stadium Concept Plan which was pub- lished in April 1997; and the current volume, the Central Riverfront Urban Design Master Plan, dated April 2000. Background Voters of Hamilton County passed an initiative in May 1996 which provided an increase in the sales tax of ½ percent to finance the construction of two sports stadiums—the Bengals and the Reds—and related infrastructure and parking. Hamil- ton County and the City of Cincinnati jointly funded a plan- ning study to site the two stadiums. The planning process had three goals: 1 The construction of the two stadiums must be seen as an economic development project which will spin-off other private development. 2 The urban design quality of the Cincinnati Central River- front must be enhanced to reflect the historic importance of the riverfront as the front door to the City, including the reconnection of the Downtown to the Ohio River. 3 The public must be involved in the planning process. Urban Design Associates (UDA) was selected as the lead consultant, with ZHA, Inc. (market study), Glatting Jackson Kercher Anglin Lopez Rinehart, Inc. (traffic and parking con- sultants), Eric Doepke Associates (landscape design), and Balke Engineers (civil engineering). urban design associates Central Riverfront Urban Design Master Plan Steering Committee Phase III: Final Concept Plan 6 A Steering Committee made up of the The Urban Design Associates team, County Commissioners, the Mayor, City using input from the Public Forum and Council, and County and City senior from working sessions with the Steering staff was formed to be the policy board Committee, prepared the Concept Plan for the planning process.

    DECEMBER 15, 2006 PAY BILL UPDATE During the CCAO/CEAO Winter Conference, Republican Legislative Leaders made it clear there was not adequate support for an elected officials pay bill yet this year. CCAO and other local officials associations have been advocating for a pay bill, particularly since county commissioners and auditors elected in November are scheduled to receive an annual adjustment during the first two years of their next term of office, but no adjustment in the last two years. Specifically, Ohio law provides township, county and state officials with raises in 2007 and 2008 that is the lesser of either 3 percent or the consumer price index (CPI). Yet, there is nothing in the law that speaks to a raise in 2009 or 2010. Ohio Constitution prohibits elected officials from receiving a raise legislatively enacted during their current term of office. Efforts are still being made to see if there would be support for “placeholder” language that would enable the off-year commissioner to receive a raise in 2009 and 2010, should the legislature take action in 2007 or 2008. The language provides that all three commissioners in a county shall receive the same wage, to put it simply. It is CCAO’s understanding that this “Plan B” option currently is under consideration in the Senate, but there has not been a commitment to support it yet by Leadership. Commissioners are urged to talk to their State Senator about this “Plan B” approach and we believe the amendment could be offered to the Capital Improvements Bill, H.B. 699 FLURRY OF ACTIVITY AS LEGISLATURE & TAFT ADMINISTRATION PREPARE FOR WRAP- UP Bills are quickly moving through the Legislature in anticipation for the 126th General Assembly to wrap up the week of December 19; though session is scheduled through December 21st, there is a push to wrap up on the 19th if possible.

  • Top Cincinnati Fundraisers and Incumbents Win
    Top Cincinnati fundraisers and incumbents win For immediate release October 23, 2002 Contact Catherine Turcer, (513) 221-2100 CINCINNATI -- The top fundraising candidates for Mayor and Cincinnati City Council won in 2001, according to a report released today by Ohio Citizen Action. The winning candidate for Mayor, incumbent Charlie Luken, raised 3.9 times more than his three challengers. All of the incumbent candidates also won in 2001. The average incumbent raised 3.7 times more than the average non-incumbent. "Contributions don’t necessarily make victory more likely," said Catherine Turcer, campaign reform director for Ohio Citizen Action. "Often, favor-seekers contribute to a candidate precisely because their victory at the polls is already a foregone conclusion. They want to curry favor with someone who can reciprocate after the election." "Cincinnati’s old campaign financing system, however," Turcer said, "is clearly stacked against challengers and less well-funded candidates." Contribution totals were similar during 1997 ($2,322,158), 1999 ($2,421,109) and 2001 ($2,461,993), according to a report released today by Ohio Citizen Action. 1997 contribution limits, however, changed the giving patterns. The 1997 limits restricted labor unions and Political Action Committees (PACs) and individual limits led some to use family members to inflate contributions.

  • INTRODUCTION the BEGINNINGS Nothing Challenges the Historical
    INTRODUCTION THE BEGINNINGS Nothing challenges the historical imagination more than trying to recapture the landscape of the past. To imagine Springdale without the sounds of the automobile, the smells of gasoline and rubber, the hardness of the cement, the glare of street lights and the bright signs of the shopping malls seems almost impossible. Yet there was a time when the modern urban community that is today's Springdale was little more than a lush forest full of abundant natural resources undisturbed by human settlement. Along with the low rush of the wind, common sounds would have been the chirping of quail, parakeet and the passenger pigeon, the honk of wild geese and turkey, and the grunt of boars rooting the earth for acorns underneath the sturdy stands of oak. The odor of the virgin soil and the mushiness of vegetation slowly decaying in the perpetual forest gloom naturally complimented the contours of the gentle and rolling land, broken occasionally by natural ravines and small creeks. Over time humans, first Native Americans and then Europeans, altered the terrain. Yet essentially the contour remains as it was when the Miami Indian felt the lilt of the land beneath his feet as he made his way across it in search of game. He trod a well- beaten path or trace. From time immemorial, long before the first white explorer intruded, Springdale's destiny was shaped by its location on a key transportation route. The end of the American Revolution signaled a period of discovery and prolonged movement and settlement of the wilderness that is now the United States.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.
