Explanation
Rezoning Application Z17-016
APPLICANT: Madwil III, LLC; c/o Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215
PROPOSED USE: Manufacturing uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on August 10, 2017.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a portion of a single parcel zoned in the M-2, Manufacturing District, which is currently undeveloped. The remaining portion of the parcel is zoned M, Manufacturing District. The applicant requests the M, Manufacturing District to remove the split zoning and permit all manufacturing uses throughout. The site is located in the planning areas of both the Port Columbus Joint Economic Development Strategy (2008) and East Columbus Neighborhood Plan (2012) which recommend “light industrial uses” for this location. The proposed zoning designation is slightly more intense than the land use recommendations of the plans, but staff notes the existence of M, Manufacturing zoning on adjacent sites and in the vicinity of this location. The lack of residential zoning in the immediate area and the small size of the property also factored into staff’s recommendation.
Title
To rezone 2965 LAMB AVENUE (43219), being 1.11± acres located at the southeast corner of Lamb Avenue and Johnstown Road, From: M-2, Manufacturing District, To: M, Manufacturing District (Rezoning # Z17-016).
Body
WHEREAS, application No. Z17-016 is on file with the Department of Building and Zoning Services requesting rezoning of 1.11± acres from the M-2, Manufacturing District, to the M, Manufacturing District; and
WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because of the existence of other M-zoned sites in close proximity to this location, the small size of the property, and the lack of residential zoning in the vicinity. The request is consistent with the land use recommendations of The East Columbus Neighborhood Plan, and the Port Columbus Joint Economic Development Strategy, and with the zoning and development patterns in the area; now, therefore:
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS:
