Description

To rezone 600 STIMMEL RD. (43223), being 21.3± acres located on the north side of Stimmel Road, 310± feet east of Harmon Avenue, From: R, Rural District, R-3, Residential District, C-1, Commercial District, and C-4, Commercial District, To: CPD, Commercial Planned Development District (Rezoning #Z26-022).

Summary

Columbus Ordinance 2452-2026 concerns zoning application Z26-022 for approximately 21.3 acres at 600 Stimmel Road. The request would rezone four parcels—currently in residential, rural, and commercial districts, including McCoy Park and a former manufactured-home site—to a Commercial Planned Development district. The change would permit a private athletic training facility for the National Women’s Soccer League. The proposal includes standards for building setbacks, access, landscaping, screening, lighting, and an eight-foot fence. It is generally consistent with city planning recommendations for parks, open space, and mixed-use development. City departments and the Southwest Area Commission support approval, but final approval depends on a traffic access study and resolution of related comments, which could require design or zoning-text revisions.
