  • When: 2025/07/23
  • Address: Citywide, Columbus, Ohio
  • City: Columbus
  • State: Ohio
  • Category: Annexation
  • Asset Class: Multifamily
  • Size (AC): 13.6 AC

This ordinance approves the acceptance of the AN25-006 annexation application, which brings a 13.6-acre tract from Franklin Township into the City of Columbus. The annexation was previously approved by the Franklin County Board of Commissioners on April 29, 2025. The City Clerk received formal notice of this county approval on May 12, 2025. City Council's acceptance is a required step for the annexation process to be completed, adhering to Ohio Revised Code stipulations that require city action within 60 to 120 days of receiving county approval. The annexed site is identified as an infill annexation, currently residential, with an anticipated future use as multiunit residential. Planning staff have reviewed the proposal and support it, noting its consistency with the Southwest Area Plan's recommendation for Medium-Low Density Residential. It is important to note that this annexation itself does not guarantee zoning approval; any subsequent development will require a separate zoning application process through the Department of Building and Zoning Services.
