BACKGROUND:
The Columbus Zone In Initiative (“Zone In”), a multi-phase effort to update the City’s zoning code and Official Zoning Map, began with Phase One implementation on July 29, 2024, with City Council rezoning approximately 12,300 parcels into newly created mixed use districts, and enacting Title 34, the 2024 Zoning Code, which defines and provides development standards for the new districts.
