Glenbrook, located between I-71 and Cleveland Avenue, is a residential and commuter Columbus neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and pockets of mature tree canopy. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Cleveland Avenue corridor near E. Cooke Road, where auto shops, carryouts, and small storefronts set a practical, everyday rhythm. Nearby, the Ohio History Center anchors local culture with galleries and rotating exhibits. The Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens adds a greenhouse-and-gardens counterpoint to the area’s straightforward architecture. Alum Creek Trail and nearby greenways shape an outdoors-forward routine, while quick routes toward Linden and Easton keep the geography connected.

The Rural District is intended for agricultural and residential development in the County where the conservation of resources is important or where appropriate urban use of the land cannot be achieved because of the lack of urban services, most importantly centralized water and sanitary sewer. The principal permitted uses are agriculture, residential subdivisions and farm dwellings.; The intent of these Rural District Regulations is to protect farmland, lands in current agricultural use valuation, prime agricultural soils, open land and residential land from the intrusion and premature development of urban uses not performing a function necessary to the agricultural and residential use of the land or meeting the social, cultural or economic growth needs of the County. Because land in the Rural District is the most subject to being placed in another Zoning District as growth of the County occurs, such changes should be made with due concern to the protection of established uses.
