Guide to future Clough Pike development approved



A planning document to guide the future growth of Clough Pike has been approved by the Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission.

Recommendations from the Clough Pike Business District Redevelopment Plan include enhancement and preservation of existing commercial businesses, redevelopment between Royal Green Drive and Hunley Road, streetscaping, fewer curb cuts, and a landscaped median.

In November 2005, Anderson Township Trustee Al Peter said that the goal of the plan was to give an "upscale" and pedestrian-friendly feel to the business district, which runs from Bartles Road to Berkshire Lane*.

The study was developed by students from UC's School of Planning between January and March 2006.

Anderson Township staff took the study to business district stakeholders in the summer of 2006 and incorporated recommendations of existing township plans, adding specific development guidelines.

The Anderson Township Zoning Commission saw the plan in February 2007. Public hearings continued throughout March, which refined the plan according to residents' and business owners' concerns and desires.

On May 31, 2007, the Anderson Township Trustees passed a resolution to approve the plan.
