Staff described the site as a blank brick wall north of the R Bar restaurant, between North Ludlow Street and the Arena Crossing apartments, and said submitted materials included an owner authorization letter and a limited warranty deed showing site ownership. Carly Lampercic of Nationwide Realty Investors said Nationwide is the property owner and described the proposal as an activation of a privately owned alley to celebrate the Arena District’s anniversary and provide a pedestrian-level photo opportunity. Logan Dilts of Day Night Sign Company was present for installation details.

Commissioners discussed scale and context; one commissioner asked whether the graphic would be updated later and staff explained that future images below a 15% text-area threshold would be staff-approvable but the current proposed image includes text that exceeds that threshold and therefore required full commission review. The commission first voted to approve the location; the chair announced a count of \"3 yeses, 1 no, and 1 abstention,\" and the motion carried. A second motion to approve the proposed \"Greetings from Cbus\" image passed with a recorded tally of four yes votes and one abstention.

Staff noted they cannot legally control content of privately proposed artwork beyond the adopted design guidelines; the approvals were for the specific location and the submitted image as shown to the commission.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Special Meeting: Downtown Commission 09/23/25","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved a permanent admiral location at 415 North Front Street and approved the proposed \"Greetings from Cbus\" graphic; location vote was 3 yes, 1 no, 1 abstention and the image vote was 4 yes, 0 no, 1 abstention.","taxTitle","Columbus City Council, Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio","taxId",75950,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6455205,"Commission OKs 340‑square‑foot storage building in downtown loading dock area",261,285000,546000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5845819-2b220b0c53be93131c24101a7134b517&start=285&end=546","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5845819-2b220b0c53be93131c24101a7134b517/thumbnail_285000.jpg","/articles/6455205/Ohio/Commission-OKs-340squarefoot-storage-building-in-downtown-loading-dock-area","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6455205-6ba7253d4f89043e63831029cc199c7d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770539584&Signature=MeXFn-ONUPQPmgOX5P1FeCIJzDqVu5s3T~P6jDBLrLkqBStUckKoQwfVnmUcnqkjmWvDz7iNI9ldD4Fz8aVct5~lmR9bKvGioKhtSWR0UwsnHMFBDYtdPzOIXjQFQr07bn-7AGT9pEFNs3c~nCeDXqZPIJFkGbK2uFHlhbabcwtO7eW0iqsMcXI8C1PyZlYXluO5reHZFUZsGrSH-1UkT94aKhGg7URqZPLke9AI0hIyq4iADTgXkfa3KaILSyD0qBGftPBTksoEcM2YpG07xTfGYrmh3PdeKd~N9axJk0SKFU74aCma4uLxqdFQezi5bSUW9zn6UusqpqH2lSc5LQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Downtown Commission voted to approve construction of a 340-square-foot storage building in the loading-dock area of 255 East Main Street, a project staff described as consistent with downtown design guidelines for the area.

Staff presented plans showing the new structure inside an existing retaining wall next to the dumpster and within an existing surface parking lot. Submitted materials included a site plan, renderings, elevations, building sections, photos and a product spec sheet. The proposed exterior material is board-and-batten-style panel siding; the applicant said metal siding in a dark bronze color with a gray roof was planned.

Edward Nabokow, identified as the applicant representative, said the building is segmented into four compartments for separation of stored materials and that a chain-link fence currently on the site is intended to keep trash and people out. In response to a commissioner question about permanence, Nabokow said the structure is intended to be permanent. He also confirmed two new security light fixtures will be installed on the front of the building and that existing parking-lot lighting will remain.

A motion to approve the storage-building application carried on voice vote. Commissioners recorded no roll-call vote in the transcript; the chair announced the motion \"carries.\"","The Downtown Commission approved a permanent 340-square-foot storage building for 255 East Main Street, to be built adjacent to an existing dumpster and used in part to store pressurized tanks, the applicant said.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6455209,"Commission approves temporary \"now leasing\" banners for Elevate 340 building",173,87000,260000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5845819-2b220b0c53be93131c24101a7134b517&start=87&end=260","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5845819-2b220b0c53be93131c24101a7134b517/thumbnail_87000.jpg","/articles/6455209/Ohio/Commission-approves-temporary-now-leasing-banners-for-Elevate-340-building","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6455209-e19fe627b8af07ad2a6270b2b7640155/orig.mp4?Expires=1770539584&Signature=ZFXI~bP17PxkOJ~IMce7IRX-EggjP59iSndFEh9fYN7fZ9iK~9RFmyclLPsdKIssFlKfe24pPm2EoOiOtqPSc9HnccFIUflrEfsPUfHH8vyxBCp0bLSoJG8Ifp~ia88b3f1ya4DXjOGRnx9oUM2jyWOEa6fK4NRrimFDJbj25GPdTfPuQyo~ytXtqNfJlgrG~RISXGr8cfcGdnNQrqOyPTiygNCnLQZoiO6vaVfwn2UASxgoylgfeOS5QIkMAZOs6Ca6cRC0PimwYTvSVsMFNwvuMbyF8xQBgTJotSe9b68nwJyOjpjmB2hg0l5WQsVBWc9KTqBMDA0GIYpWHjbnYQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Downtown Commission approved temporary exterior \"now leasing\" banner signs for the Elevate 340 building at 340 East Fulton Street, allowing two wall-mounted banners on the East Fulton and South Grant elevations for a period the applicant said would be six to nine months.

Staff presented the application, noting materials submitted included sign elevations and renderings showing a 6-foot-2-by-23-foot-7 banner on the South Grant facade and a 3-foot-8-by-52-foot-7 banner on the East Fulton facade. Keaton Christie, identified himself as the development associate on the project and told the commission the anticipated lease-up period was \"around 9 months\" and the applicant planned for a six- to nine-month display.

The commission asked the applicant about attachment details. Christie said the team was coordinating with construction to avoid damaging the building's siding, describing a plan to \"vertical attachment to the top side of the roof\" and a sealed tack strip at the bottom to avoid ripping siding. Commissioners raised no objections to the proposed fastening approach on the record.

A motion to approve the request passed by voice vote. Commissioners clarified that if the applicant needed the banners to remain longer than the approved period they would return to the commission for further authorization.

City project manager Steve Alvarez and architect Mark Parrish of AECOM presented the proposal to demolish the existing Dorian Commons Park and the Karnes Building, replace mature trees and salvage select historic artifacts, and construct a building to house municipal courtrooms, holding, court administration, the Franklin County Clerk, probation offices, court security, a Columbus Police workspace and restricted underground parking. Submitted materials included demolition and site plans, historical inventory, tree replacement plan, floorplans, sections, elevations and renderings. The team also described a proposed pedestrian bridge connecting a third-floor level to the city attorney offices at 375 South High Street as an add-alternative subject to budget.

Presenters outlined a two‑story public podium with a recessed tower above, a double-height main lobby, a public concourse along the east face, secure alley and sally port access, and below-grade restricted parking. The team said proposed exterior materials under study included curtainwall glazing, masonry cladding and precast panels; they noted the bridge intent is a transparent, high-quality connector with elevator and stairs that would discharge behind the security line inside the government center.

Commissioners and attendees discussed multiple issues: the exact orientation and design of the main entry and how pedestrian circulation and the ADA ramp on High Street would operate; alignment of curb lines and how Fulton Street's ODOT-led improvements could affect the site; the scale and proportion of the podium versus upper tower; location and coordination of bus stop and bike shelter with COTA; whether the Karnes Building could be retained (presenters said studies showed retaining it would shrink the court footprint and raise project costs by an estimated ~$20 million); and design quality of the proposed bridge. Commissioners generally supported the concept but urged careful study of materials to ensure a durable, timeless civic building, refinement of the High Street streetscape and ADA access, and thoughtful detailing of the bridge as a gateway element.

Because the item was conceptual, the commission provided feedback and asked the team to return with further refined plans; there was no formal vote.","Design team presented a conceptual plan to demolish Dorian Commons Park and the Karnes Building and construct an eight‑story municipal court; commissioners offered detailed feedback on massing, entries, streetscape, bridge connector, materials and accessibility but took no formal action.","actionData","errors"]
