Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z23-046
APPLICANT: Moo Moo Express Car Wash; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; 411 East Town Street, Floor 1; Columbus, OH 43215 and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, Floor 2; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Car wash facility.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (7-0) on January 11, 2024
MILO-GROGAN AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels developed with an eating and drinking establishment in the C-4, Commercial District. The site is subject to the Milo-Grogan Urban Commercial Overlay (UCO) and the I-670 Graphics Control overlay. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow redevelopment of the site with a car wash facility. The text commits to a site plan for a carwash use only, and includes development standards addressing setbacks, access, landscaping, building design, lighting, and graphics and signage. The proposed CPD district is consistent with the Milo-Grogan Neighborhood Plan’s (2007) recommendation for “Commercial” land uses at this location. Although, the auto-centric use comes into conflict with the Plan’s and UCO’s design guidelines of contributing to a walkable and diverse neighborhood, staff supports the requested CPD District as the submitted site plan depicts additional landscaping and screening that is consistent with the Plan, UCO, and Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018), and includes pedestrian access as required by the Zoning Code.
