Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z16-061
APPLICANT: Eric D. Martineau, Atty.; 3006 North High Street, Suite 1A; Columbus, OH 43202.
PROPOSED USE: Craft brewery and bar.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on October 13, 2016.
ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.21± acre site is currently a portion of a split zoned single parcel in the R-4, Residential and C-4, Commercial Districts. The applicant is requesting the C-4, Commercial District for the undeveloped R-4 district portion of the property to expand the existing brewery and bar residing in the C-4 district portion. The site is located just outside of the planning area of the Italian Village East Redevelopment Plan (2000), which recommends commercial for the portion of the site already in the C-4, Commercial District. Staff finds that the proposed C-4, Commercial District is more appropriate than the existing R-4 zoning due to the nature of the uses on site and compatibility with a variety of surrounding developments. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance No. 2856-2016; CV16-052) has been filed to vary C-4, Commercial District uses, minimum number of required parking spaces, minimum number of loading spaces, location requirements, setback requirements, and parking and circulation.
