Explanation
Rezoning Application Z10-029
APPLICANT: Anthony Thomas Candy Co.; c/o David Hodge and Jeffrey L. Brown, Attys.; Smith and Hale LLC; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Medical health center.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on February 10, 2011.
FRANKLINTON AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.93± acre site is developed with an office/warehouse building zoned in the M, Manufacturing District. It was recently discovered that the rear portion of the building and the parking lot are zoned in the R-4, Residential District. The applicant requests the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District for the entire building site to correct the residential zoning and will allow a conversion to a medical health center while still retaining manufacturing uses. The site is located within the planning area of The Franklinton Plan (2003), which recommends commercial development along West Broad Street and single-family residential development for the rear portion of the site. Since the majority of the site is zoned in the M District, abuts railroad tracks, and has been historically used for industrial purposes, Staff is supportive of the requested L-M District which also allows commercial uses and contains appropriate use restrictions. The request is consistent with the zoning and development patterns in the area.
Title
To rezone 1160 WEST BROAD STREET (43222), being 0.93± acres located at the northeast corner of West Broad Street and North Yale Avenue, From: M, Manufacturing, and R-4, Residential Districts, To: L-M, Limited Manufacturing District (Rezoning # Z10-029).
Body
WHEREAS, application #Z10-029 is on file with the Building and Zoning Services Department requesting rezoning of 0.93± acres from M, Manufacturing, and R-4, Residential Districts, to L-M, Limited Manufacturing District; and
WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the Columbus Public Health Healthy Places program reviews applications for active living features and recognizes that this development has pedestrian signage at the entrance/exit to the existing on-site parking lot to alert motorists to pedestrians crossing along Yale Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because the requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District will secure proper zoning for the rear portion of the building and parking lot, and will allow the building to be re-used for a medical health center while retaining industrial uses. The request is consistent with the zoning and development patterns in the area, now, therefore:
