The City of Columbus City Council approved an ordinance to amend Chapter 4565 of the Columbus City Codes, which governs the Residential Tax Incentive Program and Community Reinvestment Areas (CRAs). These administrative changes aim to enhance efficiency by simplifying CRA agreements for specific project types, formally designating the Director of Development as the Housing Officer for all relevant program areas, and clarifying eligibility criteria for purpose-built student housing. The amendments also align fee schedules across different designations within the program. The overall intent is to streamline the application process for the residential tax incentive program, reduce administrative labor, and improve the experience for developers working with the City.
