Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z21-102
APPLICANT: Cardinal Self Storage Trabue LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Self-storage facility.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on April 14, 2022.
WEST SCIOTO AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel zoned L-M, Limited Manufacturing District. The site was recently rezoned (Z19-098, Ordinance #2009-2020 & CV19-133, Ordinance #2010-2020) to permit a self-storage facility which included a commitment to a site plan. The new L-M District request is also for a self-storage facility with an updated site plan. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #1179-2022; CV21-135) has been filed to vary the building and parking setback lines. The limitation text commits to a site plan and includes development standards addressing setbacks, site access, building elevations, and lighting controls. The site is located within the boundaries of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends “Mixed Use (Neighborhood)” land uses for this location, described as “local centers of economic activity” exemplified by “smaller scale retail, office, or institutional uses, including gas stations with conveniences stores that are built to Urban Commercial Overlay (UCO) standards.” Although the proposed use is considered inconsistent with the Plan’s recommendation of “Mixed Use (Neighborhood),” staff notes the commercial appearance of the building fronting Trabue Road, additional landscape screening along the frontage, and the reduced height of the two story drive-thru building as supportable revisions that are in the spirit of UCO design standards recommended for the area.
