Explanation
Rezoning Application Z17-036
APPLICANT: Lykens Companies; c/o Dave Perry, Agent, David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed-commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on November 9, 2017.
ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site includes four parcels developed with commercial and residential structures in the M, Manufacturing District, and is within the Italian Village Urban Commercial Overlay (UCO). The proposed CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow a mixed-use building (Subarea 1), a commercial building (Subarea 2), and a variety of potential office/retail/residential uses within what is currently a single-unit dwelling (Subarea 3). The CPD text limits uses and includes development standards addressing height, access, and commitment to a site plan subject to final approval by Italian Village Commission. Variances are included for building height in Subarea 1, access and circulation, vision clearance, and maximum building setback in Subarea 2, dumpster area and maximum building setback in Subarea 3. Variances to parking space size and maneuvering are included across all subareas. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance # 3178-2017; CV17-062) has been filed to permit a first-floor dwelling unit in Subarea 1. The request is consistent with the land use recommendations of the Italian Village East Redevelopment Plan (2000), which recommends commercial uses for this location, and with the established zoning and development patterns of the area. The reduced development standards are supportable because they account for existing conditions and allow for improved site design, traffic circulation, and reuse of structures as an urban-infill site.
