The project involves the development of a Meijer main store and an mExpress convenience store with fuel sales, along with associated parking areas, on-site circulation, stormwater management facilities, and required public right-of-way dedications. The proposed gross square footage of the main store exceeds the maximum permitted under the current zoning regulations. In addition, fuel sales are not an allowed use for the subject parcel under the existing zoning text. As a result of these factors, rezoning of the site is required. · Type: Rezoning
Meijer filed a rezoning application (26TMP-035795) for a new main store and mExpress convenience store with fuel sales in Galloway, a southwest Columbus suburb. The rezoning is required because the proposed main store square footage exceeds current zoning limits and fuel sales are not permitted under the existing zoning text. The development will also include parking, on-site circulation, stormwater management, and right-of-way dedications. Meijer's dual-format approach — full-size grocery/general merchandise alongside the smaller mExpress fuel-and-convenience concept — is part of a broader push into the Columbus suburban market.
