Explanation
Rezoning Application Z06-081
APPLICANT: Anderson Properties Limited Partnership; c/o Brent D. Rosenthal and Jackie Lynn Hager, Attorneys; Carlile Patchen & Murphy LLP; 366 East Broad Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Limited manufacturing and commercial uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (7-0) on October 9, 2008.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 3.86± acre site is developed with an existing building utilized for manufacturing, a banquet facility and a child day care center. The site, which was annexed into Columbus in 1999, is zoned in the R, Rural District. The child day care center was permitted by a Council variance in 2006. The applicant is requesting the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District, to conform the existing manufacturing use and allow commercial development. The manufacturing company on the site makes glass products for residential, automotive and commercial markets, including the bending of glass for lenses for the lighting industry. The glass uses are identified as more objectionable in the zoning regulations, and are not allowed within 600 feet of a residential zoning district. The entire site is located within 600 feet of a residential zoning district, so the applicant is also requesting a companion Council variance (Ord. No. 0089-2009; CV08-015) to vary the distance requirement and parking-related requirements. The proposed use, as limited, is compatible with the development in the area.
