Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z19-066
APPLICANT: Matthew Schirtzinger; c/o Donald Plank, Atty.; 411 East Town Street, Second Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Automotive repair and residential use.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on January 9, 2020.
COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of three parcels zoned in the R-3, Residential District, two of which are developed with warehouses. The requested L-C-4, Limited Commercial District will permit automotive repair facility or other limited commercial uses on the western parcels, and the requested R-2F, Residential District will permit a single- or two-unit dwelling on the eastern parcel. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #0836-2020; CV19-086) has been submitted to reduce the building and parking setback and aisle width on the center parcel. The limitation text includes use restrictions prohibiting outdoor storage of inoperable vehicles and automobile sales, and a commitment that garage bay doors will be oriented towards Fourth Street. The site is within the boundaries of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends “Medium-High Density Residential” land uses at this location. The Plan also recommends that Hosack Street serves as a border between manufacturing uses to the south and residential uses to the north. Additionally, the Plan includes early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines. The requested L-C-4, Limited Commercial District will permit commercial uses within existing warehouse buildings reflective of other commercial developments in the neighborhood. While the South Side Area Plan (2014) recommends that Hosack Street serve as a border between manufacturing uses to the south and residential uses to the north, Staff acknowledges there are a mix of uses along this street. Additionally, the requested R-2F, Residential District allows residential development that is consistent with the land use recommendation of the South Side Area Plan.
