Explanation
Rezoning Application Z06-082
APPLICANT: City of Columbus; c/o Todd Schram, Architect; 6077 Frantz Road, #201; Dublin, OH 43017.
PROPOSED USE: Parking lot.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on February 8, 2007.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.22± acre site is developed with a self-service car wash in the C-4, Commercial District. The applicant is requesting a rezoning to the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District to maintain the permitted C-4 uses, with a variance to allow an eight (8) foot tall fence for a parking lot. The site is proposed to be used for a parking lot for the proposed joint City of Columbus/Ohio State Neighborhood Policing Center to be built 140± feet to the east of this site. The CPD district was selected because it allows the parking lot to be specified for use by the policing center and also permits commercial uses for possible future redevelopment of the site. The parking lot is proposed to be used for employees of the Policing Center, which does not satisfy all parking required on its site. The site is located within the boundaries of the University Area Commission, University Impact District, Urban Commercial Overlay, and the Weinland Park Neighborhood Plan (2006). The University Area Commission and the University Area Review Board voted to recommend approval of this proposal. The plan acknowledges the proposed policing center and notes that every effort should be made to make it compatible with the plan recommendation. The parking lot will provide parking for the proposed policing center, which will add civic space and an additional public safety presence to the neighborhood. The proposed use is compatible with the development in the area.

1. INTRODUCTION: This site is located at the corner of Summit and Eleventh Avenues in the Weinland Park area (PN 010-005309). The site falls within the review of both the University Area review Board and the University Area Commission. The site currently contains an asphalt parking lot and a hand car wash which will all be demolished to make way for the proposed use. The City has recently re-aligned the site so that the two previous parcels were combined into one parcel. The proposed parking lot will be dedicated to the proposed joint City and Ohio State Neighborhood Policing Center proposed for construction starting five (5) parcels to the east of the east-most property line of this site (PN 010-010654). Use of this site as a remote parking lot for the policing center does not create a hardship for the use of this site when considered in context to the surrounding sites and respective usage(s) to the west, north, and east,

usage. Odors will be comparable to the existing roads and current site usage for which
there have been no complaints submitted to Code Enforcement. Outside noise should
decrease. There should be no trash resulting from the use of this site as a parking lot.
