The Columbus City Council approved a request to rezone a 0.30-acre parcel located at 200 Thurman Avenue from R-4 Residential to C-4 Corridor Commercial. This rezoning will enable future commercial development along Thurman Avenue, allowing a broader range of retail and service uses. The C-4 district permits retail sales, offices, restaurants, and automotive services, addressing community demand for neighborhood-oriented businesses. The site, previously limited to multi-family residential uses under its R-4 zoning, now aligns with adjacent commercial corridors improving consistency with the city’s land use plan. The decision followed public hearings where concerns around traffic and neighborhood character were raised and addressed through code-compliant setbacks and design standards. The rezoning includes front-yard, side-yard, and rear-yard setbacks of 25, 10, and 20 feet respectively, and maintains a maximum building height of 60 feet. Minimum lot size requirements remain at 5,000 square feet with up to 60% lot coverage. The approval by the City Council reflects strategic efforts to support economic vitality while preserving residential amenity in adjacent areas.
