Columbus Zoning Survey
Help Columbus Shape the Future: Your Voice Matters in Zoning Code Update!
The collection of local laws that define how properties in certain areas can be built and used is called a “zoning code.” The City of Columbus is working on a complete review and update of its zoning code, which has not been fully updated in 70 years. The City of Columbus is focusing first on busy areas where many people come together to live, shop, eat, get on or off the bus, and do business.
Please consider taking the survey to make sure your voice matters at
Initial Focus Areas for Modernized Zoning
Data, policy and public input all show that transit corridors and commercial districts have the most potential to address our city’s housing, mobility and affordability challenges through modernized zoning. Read our new report, “Where Do We Begin?” to learn how the Zone In team identified 62 streets and districts where updated zoning will first be considered.
NEXT, we need help from residents who live and work on these corridors to determine how existing zoning in these areas should be revised.
Timeline

Zone In Community Conversations
The Zone In project team will host community conversations around a number of zoning topics throughout the life of this project.

Creating an inclusive and equitable new chapter for Eastland requires a bold, long-term vision. This consists of a framework that centers around people, places, and opportunity. It is critical to identify the needs, challenges, and opportunities for all the stakeholders within the Eastland community, from housing to education to employment to history and culture.
To create a community-driven vision, this planning process will engage Eastland area stakeholders who live, work, worship, play, and learn in the community. This will ensure the Eastland Community Plan will be a successful roadmap to a bright future for everyone.
