Non-Park Use Policy

Permit Application

Columbus Recreation and Parks Department’s Non-Park Use Policy (NPUP) was created to oversee requests for use or development within CRPD properties that would otherwise interfere with recreational opportunities and conservation efforts (i.e., non-park use) following City Code Section 919.03.

Recreational opportunities for the public and natural resource conservation are the paramount use of our parkland. Any entity, organization, or party requesting non-park use or development within CRPD property is required to complete this NPUP application regardless of easement status. If you have an active easement for the CRPD property where non-park use is being proposed, please attach a copy of the easement. CRPD will evaluate applications to determine any possible impacts on CRPD property and approve or deny such requests.

Please email crpd_npup@columbus.gov with questions.

How will impacts to the park from the non-park use/development be compensated and/or mitigated?*

It is strictly the responsibility of the applicant to make the parkland whole.

CRPD will require compensation and/or mitigation, which may require an appraisal for loss or damage of public park land, park facility, recreational opportunity, and or/or tree canopy as a result of authorization of a non-park us/development. At a minimum, CRPD requires replacement/repair of all lands, facilities, improvements, and amenities equivalent to pre-project work.

Please describe why there are no other possible alternatives available, and how potential impacts have been minimized.*

List any disruptions to normal park operations including, but not limited to, access limitations, trail disruptions, sports programming, and natural resource protection.*

How will long-term maintenance for the project be defined?*
