The Sharon Heights Community Association (SHCA) is a group of residents interested 
in the well-being of the people residing in and visiting our local area of northern Columbus, 
Ohio. We live in the community known as Sharon Heights, which is generally bounded 
by Morse Road (east of High Street) and the southern edge of the Graceland Shopping 
Center (west of High Street) on the south, the Olentangy river on the west, the Columbus/
Worthington border on the north, and the Conrail railroad tracks on the east. 



Our group meets at 7:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month 
to discuss various subjects and issues of general interest and concern in our community. 
Any person who lives in the Sharon Heights area as described above is considered a member 
of the SHCA, and is invited to attend meetings. Individuals that operate businesses in the 
Sharon Heights area are also welcome to attend and participate.

The Sharon Heights area is (along with various Clintonville, Beechwold, Old Beechwold, 
and Delawanda neighborhoods) represented to the City of Columbus by the Clintonville 
Area Commission (CAC). The CAC acts in an advisory capacity to the Columbus City 
Council and various departments of the City of Columbus, providing neighborhood-level 
feedback on zoning variance requests, code enforcement issues, traffic and safety issues, 
infrastructure improvement issues, area economic development issues, etc. 



Three districts of the CAC fall within the Sharon Heights area. CAC District 9 falls 
entirely within the Sharon Heights area, and Districts 8 and 6 fall partially within 
our boundaries. CAC meetings are at 7 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month, and are 
usually held in the community meeting room of the Whetstone branch of the Columbus 
Metropolitan Library, 3909 High Street. All interested parties are invited to attend.
