APPLICATION NUMBER: Z06-042
1. INTRODUCTION: We are requesting the re-zoning to combine lots (610-231139 and 610-231139) and re-zone to LC2. This new zoning would officially label a property which has functioned in many ways. It has been a church, a school, an antique shop, an investment office and currently a photography studio. The building on the site is currently a 1-room building with a ½ bath and a kitchen and 1- small original outbuilding.
2. PERMITTED USES all C-2 uses as listed in Section 3353.03 of the Columbus City Code except drive-through banks
The following uses are prohibited: drive-through banks
3. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS:
A. Buffering, Landscaping, Open Space, and/or Screening Commitments.
All trees and landscaping shall be well maintained. Dead items shall be replaced within six months or the next planting season, whichever occurs first.
B. Building Design and/or Interior-Exterior Treatment Commitments.
1. Building Materials: Overall themes and proportions of the existing structure would be repeated or complemented (i.e. vertically proportioned windows, symmetry, balance of openings).
A. Materials: Any additional building on the site would use wood or cement clapboard siding with wood trim boards, wood windows, and concrete or masonry foundations that would be consistent with an approach that emphasizes the new structure as a "secondary" addition to the primary (brick church) building. A possible pitched roof would be sloped at a pitch complementary to the original structure (between 7:12 and 10:12) and covered with asphalt shingles consistent with the existing structure. A possible flat roof would employ cornice and overhang details consistent with an historic structure (i.e painted wood trim boards that represent entablature and cornice).
B. Organization: any future addition would not be located in the front of the original structure and would be in a location that does not disrupt/change the 3 major features of the original building: roof line, church windows, and church steeple.
2. Rooftop Mechanicals Screening: Any mechanical equipment or utility hardware on the roof of a building shall be screened from view to prevent the equipment from being visible from the property line of the parcel. Ground mounted mechanical or utility equipment shall be fully screened from view from ground level by landscaping or any fence or wall utilizing comparable and compatible materials as the building materials.
