Rosewood Neighborhood Plan
In 2008, the City of Columbia adopted The Columbia Plan: 2018 Comprehensive Plan. This plan serves to guide development throughout the City, and it addresses city-wide goals and objectives. One such objective of the plan is to develop neighborhood and corridor plans that will help create a sense of community. Creating a neighborhood plan involves creating a document that addresses specific opportunities and challenges within a defined area.
The Rosewood Neighborhood and Corridor Plan is intended to be a neighborhood plan that will address planning issues and opportunities at the neighborhood-level, and include short-term and longer term recommendations. The scope of this plan is to help identify and address some of the physical design issues, land-use policies, issues, and opportunities that will strengthen the Rosewood Neighborhood and subsequently, the City.
Creating the plan will include a three-step participation process including an informational meeting, a workshop, and a plan presentation meeting. Additionally, residents, property owners, and business owners are encouraged to participate in an online survey or to provide comments in writing to City Planning Staff.
(The Survey is complete. Thanks for your input!)
The Rosewood Neighborhood and the Rosewood Drive Corridor are areas of the City that have developed a unique character over many decades, and it is the goal of the City's Planning and Development Services Department to help the area retain this character. We invite you all to participate by sharing your input, and providing your ideas and suggestions to help craft a plan that will guide the Neighborhood and Corridor for many years to come.

December 15th Meeting:
At the December 2011 meetings, Planning & Development Services staff presented a series of options for the public’s thoughts and consideration.
The first option was in regards to the residential zoning of the Rosewood neighborhood. A series of three maps was created:
Map 1: The land use as currently allowed
Map 2: A variation that reduced the number of multi-family uses
Map 3: A variation that removed multi-family uses.
A similar series of options was also created for the commercial corridor along Rosewood Drive. This series created:
Map 1: The land use as currently allowed
Map 2: A variation that reduced the commercial intensity
Map 3: A variation that introduced mixed-uses along the corridor
These maps are a culmination of comments received at the first public meeting, and the input received from the online survey conducted in the fall of 2011. These maps are only concepts that are still being evaluated and discussed, and the final concept will be presented at the February 2012 meeting.
