VILLAGE OF LINCOLN HEIGHTS LAND USE PLAN UPDATE AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

CHAPTER 3 FUTURE LAND USE MAP

High Density Residential

High density residential uses are typically 2-3


story dwellings with multiple units. Much of the
high-density residential in Lincoln Heights is
affordable senior housing. Pictured to the left are
White Cliff Apartments, two-story, 8-unit/building
affordable senior living apartments with rent based
on income.

Medium Density Residential

Medium density residential uses are typically


attached or detached dwellings such as townho-
mes or fee-simple condominiums. It is primarily
multi-family housing with 2-3 units/building in
Lincoln Heights. Depicted to the left are the homes
in the Villas of the Valley. The Villas are two-story
affordable senior living homes located on about
15 acres of land. They are rowhouses with some
detached single unit dwellings in the development
as well.

Low Density Residential

Over one third of the housing in Lincoln Heights


is low density residential. Low density residential
dwellings are typically detached, single family
homes. Most of this housing in Lincoln Heights
was built in the 1970’s or before. Much of the older
housing is in the center of Lincoln Heights while the
newer housing has been built closer to edges of
the community.

VILLAGE OF LINCOLN HEIGHTS LAND USE PLAN UPDATE AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
35
CHAPTER 3 FUTURE LAND USE MAP

Highway Commercial

A small portion of Lincoln Heights is highway


commercial. Highway commercial uses are commu-
nity and regional oriented businesses that tend to
locate near highways due to high traffic volume. In
Lincoln Heights, it is primarily fast-food restaurants
but there are other permitted uses such as a beauty
store on Shepherd Lane located near I-75 making it
convenient for passing traffic.

Light Industrial

Light industrial areas are small scale industrial uses


such as warehouses, storage, limited manufactur-
ing, research and development, transit terminals,
and wholesaling activities without emissions or
nuisance. In Lincoln Heights, many warehouses are
in the northeast along Magnolia Drive. They have
large lot sizes, ranging between 1 and 8 acres, with
ample parking and paving for large trucks. Since
the light industrial zones are near the residential
zones of the community, building height cannot
exceed 35 feet.

Mixed-Use

There is little mixed-use in Lincoln Heights. Mixed-


use is the combination of uses such as residential
and commercial or residential and office in one
building or space. Mixed-use increases density of
an area and connects businesses to people by pro-
viding a shorter walking distance to the commer-
cial space. Depicted to the left is DeSales Flats, an
example of mixed-use found in East Walnut Hills.

CHAPTER 4 IMPLEMENTATION - VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

4.2 LAND ASSEMBLY STRATEGY of the Elementary School (owned and maintained
(1-4 YEARS) by Princeton School District) which could be an
amenity (dog walking, picnic, etc.) for potential
residents of the condo/apartment.
The Village of Lincoln Heights owns several
parcels that could create a larger development
project if adjacent privately owned parcels were
incorporated. Two notable examples of locations
where this strategy could be implemented are
the northeast corner of Leggett Street and Ad-
ams Street and the block defined by Byrd Avenue,
McIntyre Street, Chamberlain Avenue, and Mang-
ham Drive. (see Lincoln Heights Opportunities
Map on page 39)

The Village and the Port own three lots near the View from elementary school – Great American Tower

create a development parcel large enough for a Development of a light industrial or office use in
market rate condo/apartment project (see inspira- the block defined by Byrd Avenue, McIntyre Street,
tion from DeSales Flats below). Chamberlain Avenue, and Mangham Drive would
take advantage of two parcels owned by the
Village and a vacant commercial building owned
by a local realtor that could be incorporated into
the project. Three privately owned lots owned
by long time Lincoln Heights residents could also
add to the development. Using the land readjust-
ment model that was studied in Silverton could
be a way to ensure that private owners share in
the higher land values associated with commercial
development.

DeSales Flats is a more modern inspiration for potential

LAND READJUSTMENT MODTS


Looking to the land development process
presented in A New Model of First Suburban
Existing Condition
Revitalization: Achieving Equity and Sustainability
Through Land Readjustment and A Land Trust in
Silverton, Ohio (prepared for Village of Silverton
December 22, 2020) as a guide, this plan propos-
es that Village of Lincoln Heights reach out to
the three property owners on Chamberlain Av-
enue (at 1401, 1411, 1421) to discuss the possible
Land Cooperative Formed
sale of their properties to the Village. This could
be a hybrid process where the two homeowners
on Chamberlain Avenue (at 1401 and 1421) would
receive a substantial offer for their homes, and
if desired, generous support in the relocation
process to other housing within Lincoln Heights
Land Rezoned (including rehabbing benefits for the destination
house).

If these homeowners preferred to relocate out-


side the Village, they would also receive rehab-
bing benefits, if so desired. Since most govern-
ment funds cannot be used to pay for more than
the appraised value of these homes, another
Condominium Built entity, possibly a reestablished Lincoln Heights
CIC or an outside agency such as LISC, could act
as the agent to accomplish this process. Also
recommended would be that the tenants in the
house at 1411 Chamberlain be given assistance to
find a different acceptable residence.

If this first step is successful, the Village would


propose to the owner(s) of the vacant com-
Ground Lease Begins mercial property at 9745 Mangham to become
member(s) of the Mangham Land Trust. Then
the Village could follow the land development
process as described in the Methodology Sec-
tion of the “New Model” identified above. If this
hybrid land redevelopment process is successful,
the Village could then move to a second phase
with the blocks above Chamberlain Avenue and
