Council President Pro Tem Rob Dorans, chair of the Zoning Committee, will hold a public hearing on Wednesday - November 19 at 5:00pm regarding proposed legislation regarding the Columbus Growth Strategy.
As part of Zone In, Columbus’ initiative to modernize its 70-year-old zoning code, the City of Columbus is developing the Columbus Growth Strategy, which includes our first citywide land use plan. This framework defines where and how growth should occur, creating the foundation for continued zoning reforms.
The Columbus Growth Strategy is an evolution of Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) adopted in 2018 by Columbus City Council. C2P2, in turn, superseded the 1993 Comprehensive Plan as the guiding framework for the city’s land use planning efforts. The Columbus Growth Strategy (CGS) will help guide the next generation of development in the city of Columbus.
The proposed legislation follows the conclusion of a public comment period that began on October 14 and ends November 9, 2025. The hearing will focus on the proposed legislation, following the public comment period that City Council may consider at a future City Council meeting.
