A Clear Path Forward

Following adoption of Pickerington’s 2021 Comprehensive Plan, this rapidly growing Central Ohio community sought practical regulatory support to help translate plan goals into day-to-day decision-making and long-term investment outcomes.

MCKENNA’S ROLE

» Provided zoning code support to help implement the Comprehensive Plan and manage growth in a predictable, community-focused way.

» Worked closely with City staff to simplify and clarify development regulations, improving usability for staff, residents, and the development community.

» Integrated clear graphics, illustrations, and plain-language standards to make expectations easier to understand and apply.

OUTCOME

Pickerington now has a clearer, more accessible regulatory framework that supports reinvestment, reinforces community character, and improves confidence in the development review process.
