The Columbus Development Commission has recommended approval for a large residential development in the Darby area, despite opposition due to concerns over environmental protection and adherence to the existing Big Darby Accord. The project includes over 600 apartments, 300 townhomes, and 240 homes on about 152 acres, with critics arguing it exceeds the density limits established by the current conservation agreement. Columbus officials state the development complies with interim standards that favor environmental protection, but opponents contend it violates the original accord meant to preserve the biodiverse Big Darby Creek Watershed. The project’s approval process remains contentious as the final version of the Big Darby Accord is still being negotiated.
