APPLICATION NUMBER: Z03-010
INTRODUCTION:
The subject property ("Site") is currently zoned pursuant to Ordinances #92-060B and #97-090, and consists of 16.032 acres zoned for a variety of multi-family and commercial uses. Applicant proposes to rezone the 16.032 acres generally located south of the intersections of Warner Road and the newly constructed Hamilton Road, from the existing zonings to several CPD sub-areas.
This acreage was initially zoned in 1992 as part of a significant 350 acre multi sub-area rezoning. Subsequently, in 1998, additional property was added and this area rezoned to L-AR-12 densities by Ordinance #97-090. Also at that time, the northwest corner of Warner and Hamilton Roads was rezoned to L-C-3, which zoning included the Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord standards. The L-C-3 tract is proposed as CPD in this application. In March 2002, the northeast corner of Warner and Hamilton Roads was rezoned CPD, with two commercial sub-area and a sub-area of 19.1+ acres of L-AR-12, added with limitation text to comply with the Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord standards. Consistent with the Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord, which recommends the placement of commercial property in close proximity to the 161 interchange, this application seeks to rezone three sub-areas from L-AR-12, L-ARLD, L-M and L-C-3 to the CPD, Commercial Planned Development district. The Limitation Text herein is intended to comply with the Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord.
As stated above, the Applicant has constructed Hamilton Road from its former terminus at the Hamilton Road/New Albany Expressway interchange, north to Central College Road. Hamilton Road is designated as a 4-2D arterial in the City of Columbus Thoroughfare Plan. The Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord ("Accord") designates the Hamilton Road/New Albany Expressway interchange as the gateway to the planning area. The recent construction of Hamilton Road by the applicant is a key component to both the gateway concept of the interchange and to the arterial road system within the Accord. The Hamilton Road construction extends over one (1) mile and provides connectivity from the Hamilton Road/New Albany Expressway. A goal of the Accord is to create and implement an arterial road system that provides for the efficient and effective movement of vehicles through the Accord area while reducing vehicular impact on sub-arterial roads to preserve rural roadways. The Accord implementation strategies, Accord land use plan, general planning principles associated with the location of more intense uses on arterials and at major entrance points, and existing anticipated Plain Township and City of Columbus zonings in the area of Hamilton Road and Warner Road, all support Applicant's proposed commercial rezoning.
The locations of Sub-Areas A, B, C, D1, D2 and D3 are depicted on the plan entitled Z03-010, dated October 27, 2003. Sub-Area A is 3.688+ acres located along the east side of Hamilton Road extended. Sub-Area A is proposed to be rezoned from L-AR-LD to CPD to permit commercial uses consistent with Accord recommendation. Sub-Area B is 4.237+ acres generally located south of Warner Road, currently zoned L-C-3, pursuant to Ordinance No. Z97-090, and fronts on Hamilton Road. Sub-Area C is 3.283+ acres located on the west side of Hamilton Road. Sub-Area C is proposed to be rezoned from L-AR-12 and L-M to CPD, to permit commercial uses directly south of Sub-Area B. To the extent Sub-Area C is being rezoned from L-M (originally enacted by Ordinance No. Z90-166), that portion of the application reflects a significant down-zoning. Sub-Area D1 consists of 1.818+ acres and is proposed to be rezoned from L-C-3 to CPD to incorporate auto related uses previously proposed in Sub-Areas A and B. Sub-Area D2 consists of 1.154+ acres and is likewise proposed for rezoning from L-C-3 to CPD. Finally, Sub-Area D3 consists of 1.852+ acres and is also proposed for rezoning from L-C-3 to CPD. All sub-area acreage is net of right-of-way dedicated by the Applicant for the construction of Hamilton Road.
