The City of Columbus annexed approximately 465.71 acres of land into the city limits, located west of State Route 315 and north of Jewett Road in Liberty Township, Delaware County. This annexation, initiated by a petition from the City of Columbus, was approved by City Council via Ordinance 2638-2025. The annexed territory is currently undeveloped and zoned Rural-Residential (RR) in Liberty Township. Upon annexation, the parcels will be assigned a temporary zoning classification of R, Rural District, under the Columbus City Code, consistent with the Columbus Comprehensive Plan's recommended land use for this area, which suggests low-density residential development. The annexation is a significant step in the city's planned growth, providing additional land for future development and extending city services.
