A public hearing was held on the subject of the Zone In 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 C2P2, in turn, superseded the 1993 Comprehensive Plan as the guiding framework for the city’s land use planning efforts.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.
Proposed legislation regarding the Columbus Growth Strategy could be considered on a Council meeting in December.
