Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z17-005
APPLICANT: LCO1, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215; and Donald Plank, Atty.; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on July 13, 2017.
ITALIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with two warehouse buildings in the M, Manufacturing District, and is within the Italian Village Urban Commercial Overlay (UCO). The proposed CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow the conversion of the building into mixed-commercial spaces with ground floor commercial uses and ten upper-story residential units. The CPD text proposes C-3 and limited C-4 uses, contains access and graphics provisions, and includes variances for parking lot landscaping, vision clearance, and UCO setback and building design standard requirements which are supported by the Italian Village Commission and the Planning Division. A parking space reduction of 67 required parking spaces is also incorporated in the request, as this application was submitted prior to the Short North Special Parking Area going into effect. The CPD plan depicts access locations, parking lot and landscaping improvements, and depicts the potential use of each building. The site is within the boundaries of the Italian Village East Redevelopment Plan (2000), which recommends “Commercial” land uses for this location. The Plan also recommends that the North Fourth and East Fifth corridors have a mix of commercial, residential, and office land uses. The request is consistent with these Plan recommendations and is compatible with recent infill development patterns along the North Fourth Street corridor.
