Explanation
Rezoning Application Z16-040
APPLICANT: DDP and Associates; c/o Danny Popp and Jeff Jones, Agents; 855 East Cooke Road; Columbus, OH 43224.
PROPOSED USE: Parking lot.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on October 13, 2016.
NORTH LINDEN AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels zoned in the R-3, Residential District developed with a vacant single-unit dwelling. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow the development of a 32-space parking lot for the adjacent religious facility at 2533 Cleveland Avenue. The CPD text allows for those uses permitted in the P-1, Private Parking District, and includes commitments to parking setbacks, traffic access, buffering, landscaping, and screening as shown on the committed-to site plan. A variance to reduce the number of required interior landscaping trees from four to zero is included in the text, but is offset by perimeter landscaping that is being provided. The site is within the planning area of the North Linden Neighborhood Plan Amendment (2014), which recommends medium density mixed residential land uses at this location. In general, alley-jumping parking lots that intrude into primarily residential districts are discouraged. However, due to the private nature of the parking lot being used only by the religious facility, and the proposed landscaping and screening commitments and access restrictions, Staff is supportive of the proposed CPD, Commercial Planned Development District.
