The City of Columbus has released the public review draft of the Zone In Phase Two. See below for more info and how to comment.

The City of Columbus has released the public review draft of the Zone In Phase Two: Economic And Housing Opportunity proposal - the next step in the city's ongoing effort to modernize its more than 70-year-old zoning code.

The proposal includes updates to zoning districts and development standards for additional mixed-use areas, industrial and warehouse areas, and business and institutional campuses.

This proposal would create more opportunities for housing, support businesses and jobs, and provide greater flexibility for employment and institutional areas to evolve with the needs of a growing city.

What's next?

Review the proposal at columbus.gov/zoningupdate

On the website you can view the proposed zoning map and read the draft zoning code, learn more about the proposed changes and take the survey.

Visit the Zone In Gallery:

Beginning August 25, the Zone In Gallery will open to the public, offering an opportunity to explore the proposal in-person and talk directly with members of the Zone In team.

Gallery hours and visitor information are available at columbus.gov/zoningupdate.

Provide Your Feedback:

A 60-day public comment period will begin Tuesday August 25th running through October 24th. You can participate by taking the survey at the Gallery and on the Zone In website at columbus.gov/zoningupdate.

Throughout the public comment period, the Zone In team will continue meeting with residents and stakeholders across Columbus through Area Commission and civic association presentations, community and stakeholder meetings, a public webinar, and other opportunities to participate.

Columbus City Council will also hold a series of public hearings during the public comment period, providing opportunities to learn more about the proposal, ask questions, and provide testimony.
