Columbus City Councilmember Otto Beatty is proposing a new law to make it easier for residents to add accessory dwelling units to single-family parcels.

Columbus City Council rezoned 160 parcels along Route 161 in Northland near the Worthington border. Most were designated as "community activity centers."

Columbus City Council votes on a resolution Monday to consider rezoning a three-mile stretch of Route 161 in the Northland area.

City Council will introduce legislation Monday and take a final vote next week.

Columbus Mayor Andrew J. Ginther stressed that surrounding suburbs need to work with the city to handle pressing issues during his State of the City address Tuesday evening.

Columbus officials will be taking public comments for 60 days on a draft plan of the city's first big zoning overhaul in 70 years.

Columbus wants to revamp its zoning code which was last overhauled in the 1950s.
