The zoning request was officially rejected and our neighborhood plan remains intact. Keep a close eye on future development notices to ensure these standards stay protected.

BEWARE
We have TROUBLE in our midst and it begins with a Capital I,
ie "Investor Invasion” bearing what we believe to be preposterous
re-zoning requests. A request to rezone existing farmland between Blendon Chase Community extending to Warner Road to accommodate 500 apartments
plus a commercial strip. This proposal contains an 800 percent increase from
the existing adopted 2002 Columbus City Council Northland Plan. The 2002 plan essentially recommended residential,
3 houses per acre: It is a reasonable
and objective plan thoughtfully paid for by Columbus taxpayers without
interference or lobbying by Investors and/or their attorneys.
The 2002 plan for our area was prepared by professional planning experts,
without bias, and with the input from numerous stakeholders including civic
leaders, property owners, representatives of the business community, public
agencies and Northland Community Council.
We have the responsibility and opportunity to protect the integrity of this 2002 plan which was created on our behalf in an effort to build a better, sustainable environment and community.
To this end, it is critical that you present yourselves in person at the zoning request meeting now scheduled for hearing on Wednesday, August 29 at 7:00 P.M. in Minerva Park.
Regardless if it is physically impossible for you to attend, or if you do plan to attend, you may sign the petition registering your objection to ANY rapacious re-zoning requests deviating from the 2002 adopted plan on remaining open land in our quadrant.
PETITION
As a citizen expecting sensibility and accountability in development and protection of the physical environment of remaining undeveloped land in our Northeast Northland quadrant, I strongly OBJECT to any re-zoning deviating from the existing 2002 adopted plan, especially as it pertains to the request to rezone existing farmland between Blendon Chase Community extending to Warner Road, that proposes to accommodate 500 apartments plus a commercial strip. By signing this petition, I am formally recording my strong disagreement with this new rezoning.

The feedback from our neighborhood has proven that nobody wants this massive apartment complex destroying our local plan. Email your city council representative today to demand they stick to the 2002 Northland Plan instead of catering to outside investors.

The momentum is building and the city is starting to notice our pushback against these investors. Copy the link to this petition and send it to three neighbors today. We need everyone to commit to showing up at the hearing.

KEEP COLUMBUS AS IT IS! we dont need more commercial strips everywhere.
The infrastructure literally cannot handle 500 new units. are they even thinking about the schools or the water lines? typical.
This goes against everything the city told us in 2002. keep the plan we already have!
Greedy developers trying to cram as many people as possible into a small space. STOP THE REZONING.
We bought our house here for the quiet. Do not let them ruin the neighborhood with all this extra traffic and noise.

500 apartments is way too much for that land. the roads around there are already a nightmare during rush hour. leave it alone.
