The Columbus City Council passed an ordinance to accept the application (AN25-011) filed by Shawn S. Schlosser and Nicole A. Schlosser for the annexation of approximately 24.4 acres of territory located in Prairie Township. The petition for annexation was initially filed with Franklin County on May 9, 2025, and subsequently approved by the Franklin County Board of Commissioners on June 17, 2025. The City Clerk received official notice of the county's approval on July 10, 2025. This city ordinance formally accepts the annexation, transferring the described territory into the city limits of Columbus. The site is currently vacant, with an anticipated use for residential subdivision, and is located within the Big Darby Accord Watershed Master Plan (2006) which recommends Suburban High Density. Planning staff supported the annexation, noting it is consistent with the plan recommendations. Annexation is sought to enable utility services for future development. A separate rezoning application (Z25-037) is also being considered for the site.
