APPLICATION NUMBER: Z11-015
INTRODUCTION: The 6.9 +/- acre site consists of property on both the west and east sides of North Nelson Road. St. Charles Preparatory School and the Catholic Diocese of Columbus propose to redevelop the former lumber yard site at the northwest quadrant of North Nelson Road and East Long Street (Subarea A) for use as an auxiliary athletic facility (Subarea A) for St. Charles Preparatory School, located at 2210 East Broad Street, Bexley, OH and to develop property on the east side of Nelson Road (Subarea B) as a parking lot. Residual property (Subarea C) on the east side of Nelson Road will continue to be used for C-2, Commercial District office uses, as presently permitted (CPD, Z86-1058A). St. Charles Preparatory School is located to the east of North Nelson Road, on the east side of Alum Creek. Applicant proposes to connect the main St. Charles Preparatory School campus with the auxiliary athletic facility and parking by building a pedestrian bridge across Alum Creek to enhance connectivity and pedestrian movement between the main campus and auxiliary. The drawings titled “St. Charles Preparatory West Campus, CPD zoning Site Plan (Z11-015)” (Sheet 1 of 2) and “St. Charles Preparatory West Campus, Sight Distance Exhibit, Z11-015, Subarea B” (Sheet 2 of 2), both dated September 26, 2011, are incorporated by reference. .
