Explanation
Rezoning Application Z25-029
APPLICANT: Ross Adelmann; 5500 Grenadier Court; Columbus, OH 43230.
PROPOSED USE: Office development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on September 11, 2025.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with an office building in the R, Rural District as the result of annexation into the city of Columbus in 2007. The requested C-2, Commercial District allows office uses. While the proposal is inconsistent with the Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord’s (2003) land use recommendation of “Neighborhood” and “Natural/Rural Corridor” at this location, the request will conform an existing office-commercial use and does not allow more intensive or inappropriate commercial uses.
