Why Develop a Small Area Plan?
Once completed, the small area plan will provide a vision for redevelopment in the Broad Street POA. This is the fourth Planning Opportunity Area (POA) in the City studied for redevelopment. These opportunity areas are being studied and planned to help guide development in a proactive manner. Planning in advance of development helps the City guide future redevelopment to maximize community benefit and minimize adverse impacts.

Public Meetings
The City hosted a public kickoff meeting on June 21, 2014 to discuss the POA and solicit community input on the future development of the area. The city will host a second community meeting on February 21, 2015 at the Columbia Baptist Church (see details below).

First Meeting, Kickoff
The community kickoff meeting for the West Broad Street Area Plan was held on June 21, 2014 at Columbia Baptist Church.  The meeting was attended by residents, City Council members, members of City Boards and Commissions, and City Staff. Attendees were split into tables where they had the opportunity to comment on each of four subjects in regard to the area: Community and Culture; Land Use; Parks and Open Space; and Transportation.  These comments were then consolidated and general themes from each category were presented at the end of the meeting. Staff has consolidated all of the raw comments as well as created a write-up on the main takeaway themes from each category, which are available below in PDF format.
