City approves annexation, rezoning for assisted living facility

The Columbus City Council voted Tuesday to annex and rezone more than 25 acres along Goeller Boulevard for a proposed assisted living facility. The council also approved a fiscal plan on first reading for annexation of the site.

About 17.3 acres will be rezoned as multifamily residential property at 4300 Goeller Blvd. Another 8.8 acres of property at 4441 W. County Road 25 South will be annexed.

Traditions of Columbus, proposed by Indianapolis-based Leo Brown Group, would include a combination of 126 studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom assisted living residences designed for assisted living, independent living and memory care.

The original request presented to the council on Feb. 5 was amended to include a buffer between single-famly residences surrounding the property and site.
