Zoning Committee

Monday, April 20, 2026 · 6:30 PM AM · City Council Chambers, Rm 231

TL;DR

The Zoning Committee held a regular meeting to consider three variance requests that would allow properties across Columbus to deviate from standard zoning codes. The variances involved an outdoor storage facility in a Community Activity Center, a residential treatment facility in a commercial district, and a residential development project, all with reduced development standards.
