Ordinance amends Columbus City Code Section 709.01 to exempt native plant pollinator gardens from the city’s noxious weed and rank growth regulations. It adds a definition for “Native Plant Pollinator Garden” and clarifies that such gardens, when meeting setback and vision clearance requirements and containing no prohibited weeds, are not subject to the twelve-inch height limit or weed removal standards. The amendment applies citywide and takes effect upon passage. The change responds to public testimony and studies highlighting the ecological benefits of pollinator habitat. No budgetary impacts were identified. The City Council held two public hearings and integrated stakeholder feedback into the final language.
