Explanation
Rezoning Application Z21-057
APPLICANT: SkilkenGold Development LLC; c/o Alison Purdon, Agent; 4270 Morse Road; Columbus, OH 43230.
PROPOSED USE: Car wash facility.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on September 9, 2021.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a former eating and drinking establishment in the L-C-4, Limited Commercial District (Z92-058) which permits limited commercial uses. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District would allow the site to be redeveloped with a car wash, which is a C-5, Commercial District use. The CPD text provides appropriate use restrictions and supplemental development standards, and includes a commitment to develop the site as demonstrated on the submitted site plan, landscaping plan, and building elevations. Modification of development standards for reduced building lines and to eliminate the by-pass lane requirement are included in this request. The site is within the planning area of the Northland I Area Plan (2014), which recommends “Regional Mixed Use” land uses, and states that new development be designed to address the street and enhance the pedestrian experience. While site constraints preclude moving the building closer to the lot line, the request is supported due to increased landscaping and screening incorporated along the Morse Road frontage that buffers the car wash circulation lane. The request is consistent with the recommendations of the Plan and is compatible with adjacent commercial development along the Morse Road corridor.
