Council adopts rezoning for National Road Professional Plaza
Summary
On Jan. 6, 2026, the Columbus Common Council unanimously approved Ordinance No. 1, 2026 to rezone a 0.28-acre parcel in the National Road Professional Plaza from RM (Residential: Multi‑Family) to CO (Commercial: Professional Office). The Plan Commission had recommended approval 7–0.
The Columbus Common Council on Jan. 6 adopted Ordinance No. 1, 2026 to amend the city's official zoning map and rezone a small parcel in the National Road Professional Plaza from RM (Residential: Multi‑Family) to CO (Commercial: Professional Office).
Planning Director Jeff Bergman presented the proposal, saying the National Road Professional Plaza consists of two parcels: a 1.5‑acre parcel at the northwest corner of National Road and Sycamore Court with office buildings, and a smaller 0.28‑acre lot farther north along Sycamore Court that contains a parking area. Bergman said the smaller parcel was zoned RM and the owners requested rezoning to match the larger parcel. He said the Columbus Plan Commission forwarded the application with a favorable recommendation by a 7–0 vote.
Councilor Tom Dell moved to pass the ordinance on second reading and adopt it; Councilor Elaine Hilber seconded. The council approved the ordinance by roll call vote, nine in favor and zero opposed. There were no comments from members of the public during the hearing on the ordinance.
The ordinance was recorded as adopted on a unanimous council vote. The council did not state an effective date during the meeting. The Common Council is scheduled to meet again Jan. 20, 2026.
