CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels zoned C-4, Commercial District, one of which is developed with a multi-tenant commercial building, and one parcel zoned L-C-5, Limited Commercial District, developed with a self-service car wash facility. The requested AR-2, Apartment Residential District will permit a multi-unit residential development. The site is within the planning area of the Trabue Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends “Commercial (Neighborhood)”, land uses at this location. The Plan also includes early adoption of Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Staff supports the zoning change as the request is generally consistent with the zoning pattern in the surrounding area, with consistent density, and does not represent the introduction of an incompatible use. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #3417-2022; CV22-029) has been submitted and includes variances to landscaping and screening, parking setbacks, parking spaces, vision clearance, building setback lines, perimeter yard, and a reduction to the minimum number of required parking spaces required.
