Canal Winchester gets mid‑process briefing on zoning code rewrite
Summary
Consultants told council the zoning-code rewrite is about halfway done and that a public draft will be released after staff review; the effort combines conventional use rules with illustrated form standards to translate the city's community plan into code.
Consultants from OM Advisers updated the Canal Winchester City Council committee of the whole on Sept. 29, 2025, saying the zoning-code rewrite is about “midway through the process.” Kim Littleton, an OM Advisers consultant, led the presentation and described three deliverables already completed: a diagnostic audit of the current code, a calibration table to align the code with the community plan, and draft maps translating future land‑use categories into proposed zoning districts.
Littleton said the project is organized into modules. Module One contains district maps, form standards and use tables; Module Two will cover administrative procedures and community‑wide regulations such as landscaping and lighting. On timing, the team said it is in phase three of a four‑phase schedule and expects to publish a public draft for review in winter 2026. “We're about midway through the process,” Littleton said. The team emphasized that the public draft will be available for local review and that adoption steps will follow the city's statutory process.
