The Columbus City Council approved the rezoning of a 0.5-acre parcel at 123 Main Street from R-3 (Residential, Multi-Family) to C-MX (Commercial Mixed-Use). This decision facilitates the construction of a new five-story mixed-use building comprising approximately 75,000 square feet, which will include ground-floor retail space and 50 residential units on the upper floors. The project aims to revitalize an underutilized urban parcel, enhance pedestrian activity, and provide additional housing and commercial options in the area. Council discussions highlighted the need for increased density and diverse housing types in the city's core. Conditions of approval include specific architectural material requirements and a commitment to integrating public art installations on the site. The final vote by the City Council was 6-1 in favor of the rezoning.
