BZS Zone-In Postcards

The City of Columbus is updating its zoning code for the first time in 70 years, focusing on expanding economic and housing opportunities for all residents. The Zone In initiative proposes updates to the Downtown District code, including modernized language and prohibitions on new drive-thru, automobile service, and stand-alone surface parking lot uses. The city is seeking feedback through a public comment period. • The update aims to align with the City's policies relating to auto-oriented uses. • The proposed code revisions include prohibiting new drive-thru/drive-up uses, new automobile service, repair, and fuel facility uses, and new stand-alone surface parking lot uses. • A public comment period is underway, and residents can provide feedback through a survey or by visiting the city's website.
