January 9, 20205 yr An update version of this would be awesome! And finally something aesthetically pleasing for the architectural diversity complainers.
January 22, 20205 yr I'm not sure exactly where this project should go, so I'm throwing it in this thread. Casto proposes 30-acre mixed-use development on Columbus' eastern border A new mixed-use development proposed for a nearly 30-acre site in Jefferson Township would add housing options and a potential hotel to the easternmost edge of Columbus. Casto wants to build a project called Killarney Woods on 28.9 acres in the 8400 block of East Broad Street, near the intersection with Taylor Road. The site is part of a thin stretch of Jefferson Township that sits between the easternmost Columbus city border, Pataskala's western edge, and Reynoldsburg's northern edge. The developer is not seeking annexation into any of the surrounding cities. The project would feature 200 multi-family units, including 176 garden and 24 townhome apartments starting at 650 and 1,150 square feet, respectively, according to plans submitted to Franklin County, which must approve an exceptional use zoning change to allow the development to move forward. Casto also plans to build some commercial space, which would include either retail space or a hotel, the developer said in an application. Drawings submitted show this space would mainly be along East Broad Street in front of the AT&T corporate office, with some small retail lots and the larger hotel. But specifics about this portion of the development weren't submitted. https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2020/01/22/casto-proposes-30-acre-mixed-use-development-on.html?iana=hpmvp_colum_news_headline
January 23, 20205 yr I wonder how much of the old growth they will clear out or if they will maintain good sections of the wooded areas. Otherwise the 'woods' part of the name will be pretty ironic.
January 26, 20205 yr Not sure where to put this, but I just did the Flyover option on Apple Maps on my iPhone (I didn’t know Flyover existed until now) for downtown Columbus and it is seriously out of date. The Scioto Mile is still under construction.

March 17, 20205 yr Notice of upcoming Columbus development meetings being cancelled: https://www.columbusunderground.com/city-cancels-first-wave-of-public-meetings-permit-desk-open-bw1 The following meetings administered by the Department of Building and Zoning Services are cancelled, with the meeting date in parentheses: Board of Zoning Adjustments (March 24) Columbus Building Commission (March 17) Development Commission (April 9) General and Home Improvement Contractor Board (April 1) Graphic Commission (March 17) Sign Erectors Board (April 7) Skilled Trades Board (March 18) The city also announced that all boards, commissions and panels staffed by the Columbus Planning Division are cancelled through April 14. This includes the Downtown Commission, University District Impact Review Board, Victorian Village Commission, Italian Village Commission and German Village Commission. The front counter at 111 N. Front Street “is currently still open and processing applications and permits,” said Anthony Celebrezze, Assistant Director of the Department of Building and Zoning Services - although he added that, “obviously, that is subject to change.”
March 18, 20205 yr The City building is now closed to the general public. The City has stopped building inspections for occupied residential projects (additions & renovations). They are inspecting commercial and new build residential for now. If those inspections stop construction in Columbus will grind to a halt.

April 25, 20205 yr https://www.thisweeknews.com/news/20200412/franklin-county-coroner-on-schedule-for-may-move-to-new-building In May, the Franklin County coroner’s office will be moving into a new $37 million facility at 2090 Frank Road. The new facility, called the Franklin County Forensic Science Center, will have nearly triple the space of the existing facility on King Avenue near the OSU Medical Center. The toxicology lab will be a bigger and more bio-secure space, providing better protection for staff members working with potentially dangerous samples. Among other features, there will be an observation area behind glass that will allow officers, nursing students and others to be on hand without getting in forensic pathologists’ way as they work. The Franklin County Forensic Science Center is the second of two large-scale county building projects. The other is the $360 million jail being built on Fisher Road west of Downtown and scheduled to open in 2021. Construction of both has continued during the pandemic, with workers taking extra precautions to ensure proper distancing and increased cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces and shared tools.
May 6, 20205 yr After cancelling meetings for the past two months, the City of Columbus' design review boards and development commissions are going to try a virtual meeting setup in May to try to get the project approval process restarted: With Development Approvals on Hold, City Authorizes Virtual Commission Meetings The city will make staff available to host video meetings – starting in mid-May – for the review boards and historic commissions, and will ensure that case materials can be shared onscreen, that applicants and others can provide sworn testimony, and that the meetings will be open to the public. See https://www.columbus.gov/development/Public-Meetings/ for further information. The city, in announcing yesterday’s executive order, stated that there were “approximately 140 development applications currently pending before these bodies,” listing significant projects like the Scioto Peninsula development and the redevelopment of the Neil Avenue Giant Eagle. It’s too soon to tell if all of those projects will move forward, or if the economic uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus pandemic ends up being a bigger factor in slowing development than a gap in public meetings.

May 27, 20205 yr Eleven Projects Approved by Downtown Commission The Downtown Commission met virtually this morning, the first convening of the board since the spread of COVID-19 led to the cancellation of all such meetings in March. The agenda was longer than usual, with 11 applicants seeking certificates of appropriateness for their projects and another two going before the board for initial conceptual reviews. The first three major elements of the Scioto Peninsula redevelopment were approved unanimously – an eight-story office building, an eight-story hotel (with a one-story retail building behind it), and two residential buildings – one 11 and the other six stories tall. The designs of the buildings presented at today’s meeting were similar to those brought before the commission previously, although new detailed renderings of the residential buildings were included this time.

What they have now - which I believe was done when Arshot built the addition along High Street and renovated the historic Beggs Building along State Street - is just about perfect. So it doesn't seem like an "upgrade" to do anything here. Especially when the existing inset entry isn't even being changed. Here is the existing State Street entry and proposed changes presented to the Downtown Commission: If they were changing the State Street entrance from flush to inset, or from inset to flush, there might be some justification for the change. But they're not, so it just seems like an unnecessary (and costly) architectural downgrade for no functional benefit. Fortunately, this was only a conceptual review and the Downtown Commission seemed to push back on the proposal. Hopefully the applicant rethinks the idea.

Yet, I've since come to somewhat enjoy its presence as an example of that era of urban redevelopment. It does seem odd that this building would be considered "historical". But according to the Business First article, it was built in 1969 when this portion of Town Street was remade during an urban renewal project. So it is older than the 50-year requirement to apply for historic tax credits. EDIT: Apparently the building age requirement is 40 years.

June 18, 20204 yr Mayor Ginther Directs Christopher Columbus Statue to be Removed from City Hall Mayor Andrew Ginther has announced that the Christopher Columbus statue at City Hall will be removed as soon as possible. “For many people in our community, the statue represents patriarchy, oppression and divisiveness. That does not represent our great city, and we will no longer live in the shadow of our ugly past,” said Mayor Ginther in a press release. “Now is the right time to replace this statue with artwork that demonstrates our enduring fight to end racism and celebrate the themes of diversity and inclusion.” The statue will be placed in storage, while the Columbus Art Commission will lead an effort to replace the statue with public artwork “that better reflects the people of Columbus and offers a shared vision for the future,” read the statement from the mayor’s office.

Update on the Fifth Third Building ground floor renovation project from Business First: https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2020/06/23/capitol-square-tower.html Apparently the Downtown Commission did get the Fifth Third Building owners to rethink their State Street entrance renovation. The new proposal is less aggressive in altering the existing look along State Street. The new proposal that was approved at the June 23rd meeting still updates the look, but works more within the existing architecture. Another major part of this project is changing the High Street portion of the ground floor. The existing architecture of the 1998 addition would be opened up with larger storefront facades and new landscaping along High Street. From the Downtown Commission projects pdf page at https://columbusohdev.app.box.com/s/sqrakceur2vwprbeaidztjgyyiaeg1h4/file/680530448098 - here is an overview of what they approved.

July 6, 20204 yr Somebody needs to do a better job of selling us on why this is actually necessary. I suppose it makes it easier to add storefronts, but with DT's 30-minute lunch rules and the banks themselves unwilling to fund mixed-use due to lack of demand for storefronts it seems like it won't be fully realized. I wish that wasn't the case. Edited July 6, 20204 yr by GCrites80s
July 6, 20204 yr I don't particularly like their solutions to adding storefronts. What really bothers me is the high street side and the first section of the state street side do not match. I think if they matched, it would go a long way to improving the aesthetic.

July 21, 20204 yr Site of infamous nightclub shooting could become affordable housing on north side A dark spot in Columbus music history could get new life as affordable apartments. Cleveland-based developer NRP Group is putting together plans to build a $38 million, 180-unit complex on a 7-acre site at 5055 Sinclair Road on the city's north side. The site currently is home to the Alrosa Villa nightclub, where a gunman shot and killed four people in 2004 during a heavy-metal concert, including former Pentara guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott. A Columbus police officer killed the gunman. The developer was granted a zoning variance from the city of Columbus Monday night to support the proposed housing development. The project must still gain tax credit financing from the Ohio Housing Finance Agency to be viable – that process requires it to gain approval from the city beforehand.

August 3, 20204 yr Controversial 264-unit west Columbus development approved after 2 years of debate After two and a half years, a controversial apartment development in west Columbus is moving forward. Metro Development LLC has landed approval for the 264-unit Cornerstone Village project in west Columbus at 4407 Trabue Road – a wedge-shaped sliver of land immediately northeast of the I-70 and I-270 interchange near the Columbus and Hilliard border. The workforce-oriented apartments have been in the design process since 2018. Columbus City Council voted unanimously to approve zoning there Monday. The 25-acre project has been controversial locally. The West Scioto Area Commission voted to oppose the project, though its recommendation was non-binding. The commission had been opposed to a dense development with worries about traffic impacts and flooding ... saying neighbors wanted green space or single-family homes. Columbus staff supported the density of the development in its own review and the Development Commission supported the project. ... As a part of negotiating with the city, Metro Development downsized the project from 312 apartments to 264 and increased the number of stormwater retention ponds. It also committed to roadway improvements and turn lanes from Trabue Road.

August 15, 20204 yr Another NIMBY story for my fellow UO's -- Far North Side edition: Above is an aerial view of the Olentangy Valley Centre - a shopping center north of Worthington in Sharon Township and just south of the Delaware County border. The shopping center is located north of I-270 on the east side of Route 315 (that's the main left-to-right street on the above aerial). The street with the median leads to the Worthington Hills Country Club, an unincorporated community built around a golf course. And the WHCC - plus the nearby smaller unincorporated community of Mt. Air - are none too pleased at the recent renovations to the Olentangy Valley Centre. -- First, the Hills Market grocery store and the adjoining storefronts which contain the popular Rusty Bucket restaurant got an exterior refresh. Okay that wasn't so bad, although an inconvenience during the construction. -- But then the shopping center removed an office building at the rear of the property and replaced it with a four-story 109-unit senior assisted living center. The horror! More people! More traffic! -- But the final straw was when an three-story office building at the front of the property facing 315 was demo'd. That office building used to have a dentist, CPA and other professionals in it. And the owner of the shopping center, Continental Real Estate, wants to replace it with a Sheetz gas station. Additional horror! Additional traffic! https://www.thisweeknews.com/news/20200810/proposed-sheetz-gas-station-opposed-by-worthington-hills-neighbors The above article link goes into detail about why the Worthington Hills Country Club and Mount Air residents oppose the Sheetz project at the shopping center. However, the Sheetz project is permitted according to a 2018 rezoning approved by Franklin County that allowed Continental Hills LLC (aka Continental Real Estate) to move forward with the shopping center's renovation. But that isn't stopping the erstwhile WHCC/Mt. Air neighbors from opposing this Sheetz project. A “Stop Sheetz” website was created to seek petition signatures opposing it. There are on-site pickets (see the photo below) showing their opposition to the Sheetz project. And on Tuesday, more than 200 people piled into an online video conference held by Franklin County Commissioners that was to approve minor sign changes for the Hills Market and the Rusty Bucket restaurant at the Olentangy Valley Centre (see the below link): https://www.thisweeknews.com/news/20200811/franklin-county-commissioners-table-sign-change-request-amid-sheetz-debate Although there wasn't any request to consider the Sheetz gas station on the commissioners' agenda, that became the focus of this virtaul meeting on Tuesday. And although the sign modifications were routine -- following 2½ hours of discussion(!) -- all three county commissioners voted to table the sign changes, with plans to reconsider them next month. In the meantime, the commissioners directed the county economic development and planning office to arrange a community meeting to further discuss the Olentangy Valley Centre development. SO MUCH MORE FUN TO COME!!! AND SO MUCH MORE SHEETZ!!!! STAY TUNED UO!!!!
