Columbus has a vibrant art community and the majority of it resides in area known as the Short North. The Short North runs along High Street and intersects Italian and Victorian villages.

Karrick published an entry on Karrick’s M.Arch Comprehensive Blog (which I found via the Columbus Underground) in which he voices concern over the different standards that these village review boards have. He begins:

I am interested in and concerned that there is opposing architectural review boards on opposite side of High Street in the Short North District of Columbus, Ohio. The Victorian Village commission has jurisdiction over the west side of the street and there is a 35’ height limit over most of that jurisdiction. The east side of the street is governed by the guidelines of the Italian Village Commission, and there is a 60’ height limit.

He goes into laying out that there are two projects on opposite sides of the street. One is 5-stories and the other is 10-stories. And how this type of development will shape the future of one Columbus’ gems.

I don’t have any answers on this one. But it will be interesting to see if something happens to bring the two review boards into alingment along this important artery.
