The Columbus City Council approved the rezoning of the parcel at 1234 Maple Street from R-2 Residential to C-4 Commercial. This change enables the development of a mixed-use building with ground-floor retail and residential units above. The applicant intends to construct a four-story structure with 12 residential units and 5,000 square feet of retail space. The rezoning aligns with the city’s comprehensive plan to promote economic corridors along Maple Street and increase transit-oriented development. Site design standards under C-4 require a 15-foot front setback, 10-foot rear setback, and 5-foot side setbacks. Parking requirements call for 1 space per residential unit and 1 space per 300 square feet of retail. The previous R-2 zoning allowed only detached single-family homes. Public hearings included robust support for economic revitalization and additional housing. No variances were requested, and the planning department’s recommendation was adopted in full.
