Columbus Approves 3-Story Apartments

Columbus City Council just approved a bold new housing project on the Far Northwest Side — a trio of three-story apartment buildings totaling 112 units, 34 reserved for low-income residents. Despite neighborhood pushback over scale and traffic, council members stood firm, citing urgent housing needs and backing the city’s Growth Strategy, which permits up to four stories here. The vote was 8-1, with one councilmember dissenting over community concerns but agreeing density is key. The council also greenlit a reduced building setback to enhance walkability — making this not just about height, but about reshaping how neighborhoods grow.
