POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
FUTURE LAND USE MAP
The Future Land Use Map classifies all parcels within
the planning area for the Dublin Community Plan with
a recommended land use, each shown with a different
color. In some cases the recommended future land
use is the same as the existing land use. The map
includes properties that are currently in unincorporated
WashingtonTownship, but may annex into the city when
the properties develop.
The Future Land Use Map is supported by Land Use
Classifications, which explain the general character of
each land use type. This plan is not intended to place
existing uses in a situation where their value or the
quality of life of residents is adversely affected. Rather,
the intent is to demonstrate to potential purchasers or
developers the City’s long range view of how particular
properties should be developed.
With respect to the Shier Rings Roadway Corridor, the
Future Land Use Plan is intended to ensure the creation
of places with integrated land uses that contribute
to the city’s overall vitality. The Future Land Use Plan
shows a transition from rural/agricultural uses to a mix
of predominantly non-residential employment uses that
include office, research, development, and components
of light industrial uses, contained within the “Flex Office/
Research and Development” land use classification.
Researchanddevelopment uses include amix of research
facilitates, corporate offices, clean manufacturing and
support services in a coordinated and high quality,
aesthetic environment. Similar uses can range from
incubator facilities for start-ups and growing tech/
researchcompanies toestablishedresearchcorporations.
Campus setting with coordinated buildings and
pedestrian environments are strongly encouraged.
Transitional uses, including Mixed Residential, Rural
Transition, Mixed Residential LowDensity at thewest end
of the corridor, and Neighborhood Office/Institutional
are intended to support the predominantly commercial
uses targeted for this part of the city.
Other Future Land Use classifications applied to
properties in the Shier Rings Roadway Corridor include
Civic/Public Assembly and Residential Medium Density,
reflecting existing conditions.
The planning and development policies
contained in previous planning efforts
are a key part of the Shier Rings Roadway
Corridor existing conditions analysis, and
the final recommendations rely heavily on
the assumptions and recommendations
addressed through these prior plans and
studies.
Prior to this planning study, the Shier Rings
Road corridor and the adjacent properties
had been included in a variety of planning
processes, all of which included extensive
public
engagement;
During
these
previous studies, recommendations were
developedwith respect to land use, zoning,
transportation, and site specific design
requirements.
The recommendations were adopted by
theCityofDublinaspart of theZoningCode
(Zoning Code Section 153) and the Dublin
Community Plan in 2013. Information
contained in the following plans guide land
use, development and the City’s decisions
regarding infrastructure improvements.

• West Innovation District Area Plan
• Shier Rings Tech/Flex Zoning District
• Avery Road Area Plan
• Thoroughfare Plan
• Roadway Character Map
