Explanation
Rezoning Application: Z21-034
APPLICANT: Agler Properties LLC; c/o James Monsul; 592 Office Parkway; Westerville, OH 43081.
PROPOSED USE: Industrial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on July 8, 2021.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with industrial buildings and contractor’s storage in the R, Rural District as a result of a 2018 annexation from Mifflin Township. The proposed M-2, Manufacturing District will secure proper zoning for the site and will permit additional industrial buildings and storage areas. The site is located within the boundaries of the Northeast Area Plan (2007), which recommends “Medium Density Residential” land uses at this location. Staff recognizes the longstanding use of the site, compatibility with surrounding industrial uses on Agler Road, and the site being annexed in its existing condition as mitigating factors for supporting the use. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #2336-2021; CV21-046) has been requested to reduce the minimum number of parking spaces, to not provide parking lot trees, and to reduce parking, building, and storage setbacks, most of which are existing conditions. That proposal also includes a site plan commitment which provides new landscaping in addition to an existing masonry wall along Agler Road, and a new building whose conceptual elevations are consistent with the Plan’s design guidelines. The requested M-2, Manufacturing District will not introduce incompatible uses to the area as the site has been historically used for similar purposes.
