Explanation
Rezoning Application # Z03-048
APPLICANT: Timothy R. Foley; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 10 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, Ohio 43215
PROPOSED USE: Self storage and limited commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on October 13, 2005.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing, and CPD, Commercial Planned Development Districts will allow a self storage facility and limited commercial development. The proposed development plan and text provide use restrictions, exterior building commitments, pitched or gabled roofs, buffering, screening, landscaping, and lighting controls in consideration of the surrounding residential development. Because the site is surrounded by three public streets it has been difficult to develop it as a multi-family residential complex. The current zoning was established in 1997, and the site remains undeveloped. With the proposed development standards, Staff can support the self storage facility and neighborhood commercial uses which will serve the immediate residential population. In addition, with the construction of sidewalks along Falcon Bridge and Matuka Drives, and a bike path along the Chatterton Road frontage, an opportunity for pedestrian activity and reduced automobile trips exists.

To rezone 5551 CHATTERTON ROAD (43232), being 5.16± acres located at the southeast corner of Chatterton Road and Falcon Bridge Drive, From: L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District, To: L-M, Limited Manufacturing, and CPD, Commercial Planned Development Districts (Rezoning # Z03-048).
