APPLICANT: Campus Partners; c/o Matthew Hansen; 1534 North High Street; Columbus, OH 43201.
PROPOSED USE: Urban core mixed-use development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on December 11, 2025.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
UNIVERSITY IMPACT DISTRICT REVIEW BOARD RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 2.49± acre site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The requested UCR, Urban Core District, a 2024 Zoning Code district, allows high intensity mixed-used development. The subject site is eligible for an applicant led “Opt-In” rezoning to the UCR district because the property is contiguous to an existing UCR district and because the property’s parcel boundaries have remained unchanged since the effective date of the 2024 Zoning Code. The request is consistent with both the University District Plan (2015), which recommends “Higher Intensity Residential” land uses at this location, and the existing zoning and development pattern in the area. Additionally, final building design will be subject to a Certificate of Approval by the University Impact District Review Board.
