Explanation
 
Rezoning Amendment Z00-018D
 
Ordinance #1278-01, passed July 30, 2001 rezoned 233± acres located on the north side of Central College Road to CPD, Commercial Planned Development, NC, Neighborhood Center, NG, Neighborhood General, and NE, Neighborhood Edge Districts, and included a 3.5± acre tract in the NE, Neighborhood Edge District which had not yet completed annexation into the City of Columbus.  Ordinance #1645-01 passed November 12, 2001 repealed the prior ordinance, rezoned the property and deleted the 3.5± acre tract.  The 3.5± acre tract has now been annexed into the City of Columbus.  This ordinance reinstates the 3.5± acre tract into the Neighborhood Edge District, and replaces the legal descriptions and exhibits to reflect the change.  All other aspects of Ordinance #1645-01 will remain in effect.

1.  INTRODUCTION: These properties were annexed to the city of Columbus in 1995 and 1996. Access to this area of the City is primarily provided by the New Albany Expressway, which has an interchage located south of this site. The ground between this site and the interchange was rezoned in 1998 in Zoning Case Z95-102. This zoning application continues te mixed developmentnature Z95-102 amidst significantwetlands preservation zones.  The subareas in this application have been planned in conjunction with the land adjining to the west of Subareas 1 and 2 which are included in a separate zoning application Z00-018B.
 
The subject area is being divided into subareas to reflect zoning classifications and standards that are thought to be appropriate for each subarea. The development will occur over an extended period of time and it will be necessary from time to time to modify the development standards and to provide for additional uses that could not be foreseen but are compatible with the uses allowed in each subarea.
 
Any subarea may be the subject of a zoning application filed with the City of Columbus and nothing contained herein shall prevent the current or future owners of the property from filing and processing a zoning application on any subarea.
 
Access to this area is primarily provided by the New Albany Expressway, which has an interchange located south of this site, and by a roadway to be constructed which will connect the interchange to a widened Central College Road.
 
Subarea 1  20.61 +/- Acres (CPD)
 
1.1  Subarea 1 is located on the north side of Central College Road east zoning application Z00-018B. The N/S Road shown on Exhibit C is to be constructed on subarea 1.
 
1.2  PERMITTED USES: The following uses shall be permitted within Subarea 1: Those uses listed in Chapter 3355 (C-4, Community Scale Commercial Development) of Columbus City Code.

1.3  DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS Except as otherwise noted above and therein, the applicable development standards of Chapter 3355, C-4, shall apply to Subarea 1.
 
1A. Density, Height, Lot and/or Setback commitments
 
1.  Setback (build-to lines) from N/S Road shall be 55 feet from the easterly right-of-way line of such N/S road for all buildings, parking, loading and maneuvering areas An Entrance Green will be preserved on either side of the N/S road at Central College consistent with Exhibit D accompanying this text.
 
2.  Building locations on Exhibit G shall be considered build-to lines as opposed to minimum setbacks, so that to the extent buildings are developed, such buildings shall be constructed so as to substantially front on such lines. At least fifty percent of the subarea Central College road frontage at the setback line shall be occupied by either building or brick walls which are at least five feet in height.
 
3.  Setback (build-to lines) from Central College Road shall be 80' for all buildings and parking, loading, and maneuvering areas.
 
4.  Setback from all other publicly dedicated interior streets shall be zero for all buildings and parking, loading, and maneuvering areas.
 
5.  Lot coverage for building and paved areas shall not exceed seventy percent at the lot area.
 
6.  The height district shall be 60' for Subarea 1.
 
7.  Attached is Exhibit G for Subarea 1. All development shall be in general conformance with Exhibit G, However building sizes may vary depending on tenant demand.
 
8.  The maximum density of this subarea shall not exceed 10,000 square feet per acre.  Structures occupied by a single tenant or multiple tenants within Subarea 1 shall not exceed a building footprint of 40,000 square feet.
 
1B. Access, Loading, Parking and/or other Traffic related commitments.
 
1.  Prior to the occupancy of any building in this subarea Central College Read shall be constructed as a boulevard (including sidewalks) along the subarea's frontage as far westward as permitted by the City's Division of Traffic Engineering. The roadway specification shall match the existing portion of improved Central Collage Road to the east.
 
2.  The North / South Road shall be five lanes (and shall include sidewalks) in width from Central College Road north to first driveway.
 
3.  The proposed street alignments are schematic and subject to change.
 
4.  Drive-through windows shall be permitted within this subarea provided that a drive-through window is not fronting and adjoining public road (Central College, and the North / South Road).
 
5.  Due to the mixed-use nature of the proposed development it is impossible to have each use on its own tax parcel with all its required parking and loading spaces. In addition, the mixture of the proposed uses will make it appropriate to consider the effect of a shared parking analysis on determining the required number of parking spaces.
 
The following parking ratios shall be provided unless varied by a shared parking analysis or by the Board of Zoning Adjustment:
 
Retail      1 parking space for every 250 sq. ft. of gross floor area
Restaurant      1 parking space for every 75 sq. ft. of gross floor area
 
Office (general and medical) 1 parking space for every 333 sq. ft. of gross floor area.
 
In order to arrive at the final required parking figure, it is necessary to reduce the parking demand for each use by recognizing three reduction factors that are used in the ULI shared parking analysis. The reduction factors are vacancy allowance non-auto transportation (walk, COTA, cab, bike) and captive market allowance (% of people visiting more than one business).
 
Reduction Factor                           Retail           Restaurant      Office
Vacancy            2%      0%           9%
Non-auto transportation            4%      4%           4%
Captive market allowance            18%      15%          15%
 
The parking figures calculated from the ratios are then reduced by the appropriate reduction factor for each use to arrive at the total required number of parking spaces. Division of Traffic Engineering may also give the applicant credit for on street parking spaces along public roads it the Division determined that such a request is in line with the proposed development.
 
If the applicant wished to provide fewer parking spaces than calculated by the above method then the applicant shall prepare a shared parking analysis for the proposed project pursuant to the requirements of the Division of Traffic Engineering. the Division of Traffic Engineering shall review this shared parking analysis and if the division approves the study then the applicant shall provide the number of parking spaces shown in the study.  If the division does not approve the study, then the applicant may file a variance request with the Board of Zoning Adjustment.

CONSISTENCY STATEMENT
 
The community that this rezoning will create is an integrated substantially self-sufficient neighborhood where its constituents may live, work, play, shop, and be educated within its own boundaries. The principles of such a traditional neighborhood development are listed below:
 
A.  The basic increment of planning is the transit-supportive, mixed-use neighborhood of a minimum density of five units per acre.
 
This development has a mix of uses including single-family residential, multi-family residential, educational facilities, parks, and shopping opportunities. In addition, the adjacent office uses are integrated successfully so that the employment opportunities are readily available to the residents of the community even as pedestrians. The applicant is in contact with the Central Ohio Transit Authority and expects that the residential and employment populations to be well served by transit facilities.
 
B.  The neighborhood is defined by an easy walking distance from edge to center, ranging from a quarter mile to a half mile.
 
The mixed use neighborhood created will fulfill a major portion to the thoroughfare plan of the Rocky Fork /  Blacklick Accord Master Plan by the construction of major roads traversing east/west and north/south through the development. The major intersection at these roads is the center of the neighborhood and an easy one-half mile walk from alt residences and employment centers.
 
C.  A variety of housing stock serves a range of incomes arid age groups and includes backyard apartments, apartments above shops and residential units adjacent to work places,
 
The residential community includes at least two (2) different types of single-family homes and numerous levels of rental homes ranging from 1- to 2-bedroom units.
 
D.  A variety of business types are accommodated, from retail and professional offices to "live-work" units and outbuildings for start up businesses. The office stock selves a range from home occupations to conventional office buildings. The retail stock includes a range from the corner store to small supermarkets.
 
Employment opportunities will abound with retail shops, education facilities, and small and large offices in the adjacent site(s).
 
E.  Special sites are reserved for civic buildings to serve as symbols of the community, thus enhancing community identity.
 
At least six (6) sites are proposed for civic buildings. These buildings include a daycare facility, an elementary school, two (2) retail shopping buildings, and two (2) recreational/clubhouse buildings which will include swimming pool and other recreation amenities.
 
F.  A variety of civic space takes the form of parks, greens, squares and plazas.
 
The neighborhood will be enhanced by the generous use of civic spaces from the park protecting the existing stream, the greens central to the single-family community, and the squares in the center of the neighborhood.
 
G.  A variety of thoroughfares are designed to be equitable to the pedestrian bicycle and automobile. Thoroughfares are connected in such a way as to encourage walking and reduce the number and length of automobile trips.
 
The thoroughfare network is diverse and friendly to pedestrians, bicycles and automobiles within the neighborhood and to adjacent neighborhoods.
 
H.  Building frontages spatially delineate thoroughfares and civic spaces and mask parking lots. Buildings of all types front the public and private thoroughfares and screen effectively the aggregated parking areas.
 
I.  Smaller block sizes reflecting intensity of use for each district will serve to support the above principles. (See Transect diagram)
 
The blocks shorten as progressing from the least dense Neighborhood Edge district to the most intense Neighborhood Center district.
