extended-stay-prohibition-in-m-district
Department of Building and Zoning Services is reaching out to solicit public input on several proposed changes to the Columbus Zoning Code.
The first proposed code change will prohibit extended stay hotels on properties that are zoned in the M, Manufacturing District.
The second proposed code change comes at the request of the City Attorney’s office. It will codify the Ohio Supreme Court’s prescribed legal standards to be employed by the Board of Zoning Adjustment and the Graphics Commission in their consideration of variance requests.
Attached is the full draft of both proposed code changes for your review and comment. Please send all questions and comments to Paul Freedman directly at PMFreedman@columbus.gov or toZoningInfo@columbus.gov . These proposed code changes will be scheduled for discussion and a recommendation by the Columbus Development Commission on October 13 and then they will be submitted to City Council.
We value your input on these proposed code changes and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you very much.
I agree with the proposed zoning change that prohibits extended stay hotels in a “m manufacturing district” !
Ever since a proposal has been put forth over the last few months to open one of these hotels on the former Dixie International property on Indianola ave myself and the entire Clintonville community have been very opposed to the builders plan via this loophole in the zoning code to build a hotel in our residential community.
The sooner this code is changed and the quicker this hotel project is stopped the better of our community will be!
Thank you for considering this zoning change and I hope the change will take place and quickly.
Best regards
Mike Leyshon
