Rezoning Application Z04-022
APPLICANT: EFA Company, LLC; c/o Jackson B. Reynolds, III, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: School.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on
May 13, 2004.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested L-I, Limited Institutional District will allow a charter school. This former convent site was rezoned to the L-I District in 1988 to permit a drug treatment and counseling center. As a part of the previous rezoning, the established limitation text permitted only the drug rehab center, prohibiting a number of uses, including schools. This request will add school uses to the list of permitted uses, and as proposed, contains development standards to make it compatible with the surrounding single-family residential development.

Body
WHEREAS, application #Z04-022 is on file with the Building Services Division of the Department of Development requesting rezoning of 17.38± acres from L-I, Limited Institutional District, to L-I, Limited Institutional District respectively; and
WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, an emergency exists in the usual daily operation in the City of Columbus in that it is immediately necessary to prepare the building and site since the applicant is proposing to open a school in fall 2004 for the immediate preservation of the public peace, property, health and safety; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because the requested L-I, Limited Institutional District will allow a charter school with sensitive development standards in consideration of adjacent residential uses. This former convent site was rezoned to the L-I District in 1988 to permit a drug treatment and counseling center. As a part of the previous rezoning, the established limitation text permitted only the drug rehab center and prohibited a number of uses, including schools. This request will add school uses to the list of permitted uses, and as proposed, contains development standards to make it compatible with the surrounding single-family residential development, now, therefore:
