The City of Worthington (“the City”) is seeking proposals from qualified professional planning consultants who have the capacity to assist the City in conducting an assessment and a rewrite of the current Planning & Zoning Code. The Planning & Zoning Code was originally adopted in 1971 with several updates occurring throughout the years. The City anticipates updating the Worthington Design Guidelines once the Planning & Zoning Code rewrite has been completed.

The Plan recommends two Implementation Actions related to Planning and Zoning, 1) conduct a comprehensive regulatory assessment of the Planning & Zoning Code, and 2) rewrite the Planning & Zoning Code.
