Do you think with minimum 1% steel in column, it will govern the bending case when the column is lightly loaded?
Not always.
If you design the column like a beam, you provide the steel reinforcemnt to the "face" of the column, so the 1% will doesn't apply.
Remember you should check the flexion design and satisfy the 1% of steel reinforcemnt (always is a column) and detail that govern.
