These include:
- promoting the interest of the Columbia Neighborhood in matters of land use, zoning and other law
- rules or regulations which affect the quality of life, neighborhood amenities, character of the neighborhood, and public safety
- issues of design standards in relationship to the character of the neighborhood
- to provide an open forum for all residents to meet and discuss issues with due regard to the rights of minority opinion and free speech for all
